About This Role
This role is the on-the-ground data anchor for a large-scale MSME development program, requiring you to bridge high-level monitoring frameworks with real-world field conditions across Ethiopian zones. You will not just collect numbers but verify their accuracy, train local teams, and ensure data flows translate into actionable insights for project leadership. It suits a data professional who is comfortable moving between office-based reporting and frequent field travel, and who understands that quality data is the backbone of donor-funded development work.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The qualifications signal a need for someone who can handle both the technical side of data systems and the interpersonal demands of training and fieldwork in diverse Ethiopian contexts. The 3–5 year experience requirement suggests the employer values proven ability to manage data collection under real logistical constraints, not just academic knowledge. The emphasis on "large projects" and "MSME programmes" implies they want someone who has already navigated the complexities of multi-stakeholder, multi-region data environments.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should lead with specific examples of how you maintained data accuracy and timeliness across multiple field sites, perhaps describing a system you implemented or a challenge you overcame. Highlight any experience training non-technical teams on data tools, as this is a core daily responsibility. The cover letter should explicitly connect your past project scale—mentioning numbers of beneficiaries, geographic spread, or data points managed—to the needs of this integrated MSME initiative.
Who This Role Suits
Best for a mid-career data professional who thrives on variety, enjoys field engagement, and wants to see their work directly support small business growth in Ethiopia; competition is moderate, with advantage going to candidates who demonstrate both technical rigor and field adaptability.
