  • Operational Coordination: Coordinate across multiple teams, partners, and stakeholders to ensure seamless programme execution.

Partnerships & Ecosystem Development

  • Partnership Development: Identify, build, and manage strategic partnerships with education organisations, government stakeholders, implementation partners, and other ecosystem players.
  • Partner Management: Onboard and manage implementation partners, establish clear expectations, and review performance against agreed objectives.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong relationships across the education ecosystem and represent the organisation in relevant external forums and conversations.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Identify opportunities to expand programme reach and impact through partnerships and collaborations.

Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning

  • MEL Strategy: Lead monitoring, evaluation, and learning across the programme portfolio.
  • Impact Measurement: Develop frameworks and mechanisms to assess programme reach, quality, outcomes, and impact.
  • Data & Insights: Use programme data and evidence to identify gaps, inform decisions, and strengthen programme design and implementation.
  • Continuous Learning: Build feedback loops between programme design and implementation to continuously improve programme effectiveness.

Team Leadership & Strategic Initiatives

  • Team Management: Lead and mentor a growing programme team, providing direction, support, and accountability.
  • Capability Building: Strengthen team capabilities across programme design, implementation, partnerships, and project management.
  • Proposal Development: Lead or contribute to proposals, concept notes, programme plans, and strategic partnership documents.
  • Strategic Communication: Develop presentations, reports, and programme updates for senior leadership and external stakeholders.
