• Promote a culture of learning across the organisation, supporting teams to reflect, adapt and improve.

• Facilitate internal learning processes, including participatory evaluation, feedback tools, and learning workshops.

• Provide capacity-building support to staff on MEL tools, data use and analysis.

Reporting and communication

• Coordinate internal impact reporting and support external reporting to funders and stakeholders.

• Ensure that MEL processes meet GDPR requirements and ethical data collection standards.

• Communicate data and learning in accessible, meaningful formats for a range of audiences.

Person specification

• Experience designing or managing MEL frameworks, such as theories of change, results frameworks, and indicators.

• Confidence working with both quantitative and qualitative data, including surveys, focus groups and participatory methods.

• Strong analytical skills and ability to interpret data to generate learning, demonstrate impact and inform decision-making.

• Experience facilitating learning and reflection processes, and supporting services to adapt based on evidence.

• Excellent interpersonal skills – able to work collaboratively, build relationships across teams, and support non-specialist colleagues to engage with MEL.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to tailor reporting for different audiences.

• Good communication skills in Spanish or Portuguese.
