Following a comprehensive internal audit that identified more than 3,000 data variables and significant fragmentation across systems, the Foundation is launching a major data standardization and modernization initiative . As a volunteer, you will play a central role in shaping this transformation. Your primary focus will be to translate an existing technical assessment of the Foundation’s data value chain into a practical, implementation‑ready framework for data architecture and governance . You will lead the design phase and support the initial implementation, laying the foundations for a more reliable, integrated, and future‑ready data ecosystem. This role goes well beyond theory. Rather than delivering a standalone database solution, you will design the strategic data architecture required to turn administrative records into trusted assets for decision‑making, accountability, and social impact measurement-fully aligned with the Foundation’s current platforms, including its CRM and other information systems. What You Will Help Achieve You will provide strategic and technical guidance to help the Foundation: Improve data capture at source Redesign data flows into the CRM to close the current 80% standardization gap , ensuring data is consistent and reliable from the point of collection. Automate quality control and auditing Define technical requirements to replace manual, Excel‑based auditing and participant re‑contact with automated validation rules embedded within operational platforms. Break down data silos Design a single source of truth that connects data currently scattered across Google Drive, local files, offline forms, and virtual classrooms. Build for the future Ensure the new data architecture supports the Foundation’s long‑term ambition to move from “detect and react” to “predict and act” through advanced analytics and AI. As a volunteer, you will: Design an integrated data architecture Translate existing technical assessments into a high‑level architecture connecting the CRM with current data silos, including virtual classrooms and offline data collection tools. You will design a cross‑functional data capture model that reduces operational burden on field teams and eliminates the use of “Excel as a database.” Standardize and normalize data variables Apply the proposed dimensional model (person, household, organization) to 3,057 identified variables , with a focus on harmonizing the 80% that require wording or structural adjustments. Optimize the data‑to‑audit process Design automated validation and control rules to replace manual checks and repeated contact with participants. Define an analytics and AI roadmap Develop clear technical requirements to support the transition from static reporting to predictive analytics and artificial intelligence. Establish data governance practices Define roles, responsibilities, and automated quality controls to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and accountability over time. Essential Qualifications: A solid professional background in Economics, Statistics, Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Science, Business Administration , or a related field. 3–5 years of hands‑on experience in implementing information systems, data management practices, data quality assurance, or analytical support within medium or large organizations. Essential Background: Proven experience designing and managing data capture and storage systems that support analysis, visualization, and process automation. Demonstrated ability to develop relational data models , beneficiary information systems, and modular data collection tools that enable reliable monitoring and evidence‑based decision‑making in social programmes. Strong experience collaborating with interdisciplinary teams across analysis, IT, and operations , supporting data standardization and improved data capture workflows. Applied knowledge of CRM systems, digital forms, relational databases , and administrative environments such as Google Workspace or similar tools. Experience working with NGOs or social impact organizations is highly valued, particularly in contexts involving vulnerable populations and sensitive data. A recognized ability to translate technical and strategic data concepts into clear, practical processes for non‑technical teams. Key competencies include strong organizational skills, clear and effective communication, operational problem‑solving, process monitoring, and a collaborative mindset, with a willingness to work on‑site as part of a team.
