Director Of Data Analytics

Educate!

All, kenya

full-time

Position Overview Educate! is becoming more data- and technology-driven, and the performance metrics function is central to that shift. This function tracks our monitoring metricsboth operational metrics that help implementation teams run programs well, and classic monitoring of whether we are doing the right things: activities, outputs, and near-term outcomes. It works alongside, and hands off cleanly to, a separate evaluation team that owns deeper impact and causal work. This is a build role at a pivotal moment, and you will drive two important shifts: First, transforming our current Performance Metrics team, structures, and processes to become AI-native. Second, you will sit on a cross-functional team of senior leaders to implement our predictive analytics strategy, working in partnership with our evaluation, product, implementation, and tech teams. As our most senior data leader, the Director of Data Analytics will design and own all four pillars of Educate!'s data function: data design, data engineering and infrastructure, analytics oversight, and data collection. You will operate as a "full-stack analyst" leader: technically fluent in SQL, dbt, and cloud warehousing, while acting as a people leader and a trusted cross-functional partner to Technology, Evaluation, and Product. Expected Impact The specific milestones below will be calibrated with the COO, but within this role's first year, we expect: First 6 months: You understand the current metrics landscape, team, and data stack, and have established the function's strategy and operating model alongside the COO. The team is structured and staffed as an AI-native team built to scale. By 12 months: Implementation, product, and leadership teams utilize self-service analytics for 90% of their data needs. The analytics engineering layer on BigQuery is healthy and fully owned, and the team actively utilizes AI-native practices. You are also overseeing data architecture in alignment with the predictive analytics strategy. What You'll Do Defining Vision and Structure for Performance Metrics Function Set the strategy, operating model, and priorities for the performance metrics function. Establish direction, standards, and expectations across the entire department. Build the function's capability: Establish team structures, develop streamlined processes, and build cross-functional forums to ensure best-in-class data systemsespecially as our strategy shifts toward predictive and self-service analytics. Develop your leaders through targeted coaching, clear leveling frameworks, and cultivating a team culture of rigor and continuous learning. Build systems and standards that ensure metrics actively support implementation teams in managing day-to-day program execution. Maintain a clear boundary and clean handoff with the evaluation team, ensuring the two functions complement rather than duplicate each other's efforts. Partner with the central Tech team to ensure upstream pipelines meet necessary standards, and effectively direct the shared data engineer toward achieving those goals. Data Engineering and Infrastructure - Build and own the technical foundation Design and own Educate!'s end-to-end data architecture, encompassing ingestion, warehousing, transformation, and delivery. Stand up a modern BI stack featuring self-serve reporting and automated pipelines that local country teams can readily utilize. Define the quality bar for the analytics engineering layer (dbt and the metrics layer on BigQuery) by ensuring accurate, complete, timely, consistent, valid, and traceable data, while holding your team accountable for maintaining that standard. Bring technical judgment to direct the work, assess quality (including the ability to challenge a data model or a pipeline), and execute effectively through your team. Data Analytics Oversight - Turn data into decisions Collaborate with product, implementation, and performance metrics teams to define what gets measured and how-spanning operational metrics that support program implementation and classic monitoring of activities, outputs, and near-term outcomes. Establish a function deeply grounded in self-service analytics. Build the capability for the team to deploy multiple dashboards tailored to different audiences across the organization. Define and reinforce a collaborative process that scopes decisions at various levels and maps them to corresponding metrics. Ensure the performance metrics team transforms data into dashboards, insights, and decision tools that implementation, product, and leadership teams genuinely utilize. Raise data literacy across the organization to ensure teams actively champion and act on data rather than simply collecting it. Transition analysts from manual data analysis and reporting to focusing on the semantic layer of our data systems, ensuring it is optimized for AI. Similarly, usher in a shift from the performance metrics team providing manual analysis to a model of self-service analytics complemented by robust dashboards. Develop a strategy to improve frontline data usage in partnership with implementation teams, leveraging AI alongside both qualitative and quantitative data sources. The ultimate goal of this strategy is to ensure program implementation scales with consistency and quality. Partner and Accelerate Analytics Act as the senior cross-functional partner to Tech, Evaluation, and Product, and a trusted advisor to the COO. Sponsor the function's contribution to the cross-functional data science workstream to help analytics move faster organization-wide. Champion shared tools, standards, and ways of working that lift the whole organization's analytical capability. Who You Are You bring around 7+ years in analytics, data, or M&E roles, including several years building and leading teams. You have managed managers, not only individual contributors. You have built or substantially grown a data or analytics team, and can speak to hiring, leveling, and developing analysts and engineers. You have genuine analytics-engineering depth: you reason fluently about data models, transformations, and a metrics layer, and you are comfortable with SQL, dbt-style workflows, and a warehouse like BigQuery enough to direct a data engineer and judge pipeline quality, even if you no longer code every day. You think in indicators, not just dashboards. You can make data accurate, complete, timely, consistent, valid, and traceable. You can also monitor that quality over time and understand the distinction between monitoring and evaluation. You get teams to act on data. You are an effective cross-functional partner and a clear communicator who can make technical trade-offs understandable to non-technical audiences, including executives. You are energized by the mission improving learning, earning, and livelihood outcomes for youth across East Africa. What We Offer A vibrant, mission-driven environment with a supportive and fun team. Flexibility hybrid or fully remote work, depending on location. A competitive salary based on experience, with benefits aligned to your country of hire. Meaningful learning and growth opportunities as the function and organization scale.

Ai Solutions Architect

Code for Africa (CfA)

Nairobi, kenya

full-time

Position Summary You'll design, ship and maintain AI-enabled tools and workflows for teams across the alliance, and set the patterns others build on. This is a hands-on role: you'll write and review code, configure integrations, test with users and support what you ship, not just produce designs or recommendations. Your first priority will initially be Business Development (proposal and partner-intelligence workflows). From there, the work expands to research, editorial, investigative and programme operations. You'll build on tools teams already use (Google Workspace, Slack, Airtable, CRMs) and on in-house capacity: DataLab for data engineering and scraping, the iLAB for AI-driven forensics, CivicSignal for NLP, and the wider AI Sandbox team for shared model access and infrastructure. You won't be building the whole stack alone. Why Join Be the founding hire: shape how the alliance uses AI, from the first build to the standards other teams adopt. Real users from day one: starting with the Business Development team, then forensic researchers, journalists, and programme staff across Africa and beyond. Real ownership, real support: you'll own design decisions within agreed architecture and security boundaries, backed by in-house data and AI teams, so you're not starting from zero. What You Will Do Ship tools, workflows and lightweight interfaces end to end: take them from discovery and design through build, evaluation, rollout, training, monitoring and handoff. Pick the simplest thing that works: use models or agents where interpreting language or handling ambiguity adds value, and plain deterministic code or rules for anything that runs often, must give the same answer every time, or needs an audit trail. Often that means using an AI coding agent to build the automation, not to be it. Treat AI output as unverified until checked: build evaluations, source traceability and automated checks, and put a person where the decision matters. Assume outside content may be wrong or may try to steer the model. Build the function, not just the tools: set up an intake and prioritisation process, a reusable library of templates, connectors and review components, and clear rules for what stays central and what programmes own. Keep it maintainable: use version control and code review, write documentation others can run from, and build on shared Plus and AI Sandbox platforms and security standards, so everything works with the rest of Plus's systems. Keep costs visible: estimate running costs, compare managed, open-source and in-house options on cost, security, portability and maintenance, and replace expensive SaaS where there's a clear case. What This Role Is Not This is not primarily a chatbot, dashboard or research role, and it's not an on-demand automation desk: you'll prioritise work with the CTO and programme leads based on value, risk and potential for reuse. You won't own data engineering, model infrastructure or organisation-wide AI policy, but you'll work closely with the teams that do. What You Will Build in Year One Four to five substantive production tools or workflows in regular operational use, starting with Business Development, each with monitoring and a named owner. An intake and prioritisation process open to all programmes, with a clear way to select, defer and decline requests. A Plus-wide pattern and guardrail library adopted by at least two teams. A recommendation, based on real demand, for how the hub should grow, including the shape of a team you could eventually lead. Required A degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, data science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 3+ years building and shipping internal tools, automation or AI-enabled workflows that people rely on regularly (not just prototypes or demos), and that you maintained after launch. You're comfortable going from ambiguity to a working system. Hands-on experience building with hosted model APIs and open-weight models, including structured outputs, tool use, agents, and MCP or similar integration protocols. You're also comfortable with AI coding and workflow tools such as Claude Cowork, Claude Code or Codex, and know when not to use them. Integration experience with several business systems, such as Google Workspace, Slack, Airtable, CRMs or email, including APIs, webhooks, OAuth, scoped credentials and rate limits. You default to live connections, and know how to stop any cached or synced copy from being mistaken for current data. Practical AI and data risk awareness: catching outputs that are confident but wrong, handling prompt injection, protecting PII and confidential data, and matching human review to the cost of an error. The ability to map how work actually happens, design around it with non-technical colleagues, and get them to adopt what you build, including writing guides they can actually follow. Engineering discipline: Git, code review, tests where they matter, and clear documentation. Preferred A postgraduate qualification in artificial intelligence, machine learning or a related field. Experience in non-profit, media, civic tech or international development, including proposal or partner-management workflows. Document-heavy pipelines: parsing PDFs and DOCX files, structured extraction, and retrieval over knowledge bases that change often. Formal evaluation practice: test sets, regression evals, red-teaming and output validation. Experience with managed model services and gateways, such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenRouter or equivalents. Cost modelling for LLM workloads, and security basics such as secrets management and vendor security review. Having set up shared standards or components that other teams or organisations adopted.
