Data Architecture & Analytics Strategy

• Develop dashboards, reports, and analytical tools that support:
  

• Carbon forecasting and delivery planning
  

• Operational performance management
  

• Financial and operational planning
  

• Translate validated datasets into actionable insights for leadership and functional teams.
  

• Build scenario and forecasting models (e.g. survival, growth, SOC, credit issuance timing).
  

• Proactively surface risks, inconsistencies, and performance trends.
  

Carbon, MRV & MEL Data Collaboration

• Partner closely with the MRV–MEL Director to ensure analytics and reporting are grounded in validated, audit-ready data.
  

• Work with the Head of Carbon to support carbon modeling, MRV planning, and certification needs.
  

• Support integration and scaling of digital MRV (dMRV) tools alongside MEL systems.
  

• Maintain alignment between field data, MRV indicators, and carbon modeling inputs.
  

External Reporting & Disclosure

• Own the production and coordination of all external reporting, including:
  

• Investor and board reports
  

• Carbon buyer due diligence materials
  

• Impact, ESG, and sustainability reports
  

• Donor, grant, and partner reporting
  

• External international and national communications
  

• Ensure consistency across all external narratives, metrics, and figures.
  

• Coordinate internal review and sign-off processes (MEL validation, Carbon technical review, leadership approval).
  

• Act as the final compiler of truth for any externally shared data products.
  

Field Systems and Tool Enablement

• Support the design and improvement of field data collection tools in collaboration with Operations and MEL.
  

• Ensure tools are practical for field teams while producing analytics- and reporting-ready outputs.
  

• Embed data capture into SOPs, training, and operational workflows.
  

• Provide structured feedback loops to improve usability and data completeness.
  

Team Leadership & Capacity Building

• Build and manage a small Data & Analytics team (analysts, reporting specialists, GIS/data engineers as needed).
  

• Develop internal data literacy and reporting skills across teams.
  

• Document reporting processes, definitions, and assumptions to ensure continuity.
  

• Foster a culture of clarity, accountability, and learning around data use.
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Economics, Environmental Science, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
  

• Master’s degree in Data Analytics, Data Science, Environmental Economics, Public Policy, or a related field preferred but not required.
  

• 5+ years of experience in data analytics, analytics leadership, or decision-support roles.
  

• Demonstrated experience producing external-facing reports for investors, donors, buyers, regulators, or boards.
  

• Experience building dashboards and reporting pipelines (e.g. BI tools, spreadsheets, or custom analytics stacks).
  

• nice to have
  

• Experience supporting carbon markets, climate finance, or nature-based solutions.
  

• Familiarity with ESG, impact reporting frameworks, or sustainability disclosures.
  

• Experience working in Sub-Saharan Africa or similar operating contexts.
  

• Exposure to digital MRV (dMRV) or spatial analytics systems.
  

• Experience supporting investor due diligence processes.
