The Role
In this role you will report to the Deputy State Program Lead. You will work closely with the AP RWS&S Department / Jal Mitra team and the Delhi-based Program Operations and Process Improvement team.
EAII is working with Andhra Pradesh RWS&S Department on government IT integration and data governance. This engagement involves coordinating across two stakeholders: the government IT/RWS&S department (priorities, systems, approvals) and the internal technical team (Program Operations and Process Improvement).
This is a government IT consulting role that functions as a product manager for the government integration workstream. You will own the requirements, priorities, and sequencing for the government data integration roadmap, ensure alignment between government IT systems and EAII’s technical capabilities, and maintain the relationship and momentum with the AP RWS&S IT team. This is a strategic coordination and advisory position, not a hands-on developer role.
Responsibilities Government IT Liaison & Requirements Translation
- Serve as the primary point of contact with the AP RWS&S Department IT team—attending review meetings, understanding department IT priorities, constraints, and system architecture, and managing approval cycles for data sharing and system access.
- Translate government IT requirements, data structures, and system constraints into clear strategic specifications for EAII’s technical roadmap and vendor coordination.
- Work with the Delhi-based Process Improvement team to ensure alignment on government IT priorities and sequencing of integration work.
Government Data Integration Startegy
- Own the end-to-end government data integration roadmap, working with the AP RWS&S IT team to define data structures, APIs, and data-field handoffs needed for EAII’s dashboards and monitoring systems.
- Investigate and document discrepancies and technical blockers between EAII systems and government data sources, escalating recommendations to the Delhi technical team for resolution.
Coordination and Reporting
- Track progress against the phased integration action plan and proactively flag risks, particularly IT policy alignment across National and global teams and the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
- Maintain a consistent meeting and reporting cadence connecting Vijayawada, the Delhi Process Improvement team, and the consultant dashboard developer, including discussion notes, action logs, and status updates.
Requirements
Essential
- Bachelor’s degree (Master’s preferred) in engineering, computer science, IT/data systems, or a related field
- 4 + years of hands-on experience building web dashboards with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (Chart.js or an equivalent charting library), consuming data from JSON APIs – this is a core, hands-on requirement.
- Comfort working with JSON data structures and REST-style API endpoints, including debugging malformed or missing data in a feed
- Prior experience liaising with Andhra Pradesh state government departments or systems (RWS&S, Panchayati Raj, e-Governance, or similar) strongly preferred
- Strong stakeholder management skills across government, vendor, and internal technical audiences with differing priorities and vocabularies
- Fluency in Telugu and English is required; Hindi is an added advantage
- Based in Vijayawada or willing to relocate; comfortable with regular travel to district RWS&S offices
Desirable
- Experience deploying static/lightweight web apps on IIS or similar, including iframe embedding and Content-Security-Policy configuration
- Familiarity with Google Sheets/Apps Script as a data source or API layer
- Experience coordinating between a government client and an external technology vendor.
- Familiarity with the Jal Jeevan Mission / Jal Mitra ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh
