- Train and mentor regional and field staff on survey design, data hygiene and data collection tools
Qualifications and experience
- A bachelor’s degree in statistics, data analytics, applied mathematics, quantitative economics or a related field
- At least two years of hands-on work in data and analytics, regional data management or field operations
- Strong command of CommCare, SurveyCTO or KoboToolbox, and advanced Excel for cleaning and structuring data
