ABOUT LUMOS

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by the author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’s mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention and opportunities they need to thrive. Our three-pronged approach is to prevent family separation, to protect children and to promote care reform. We’ve made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.

JOB PURPOSE

The MEAL Manager will provide strategic direction, quality assurance, and innovation for Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning across the organisation’s care reform portfolio. Building on the existing MEAL framework, the role will provide advanced technical leadership, collaborate to enhance organisational learning, and ensure evidence based decision-making at all levels.

The MEAL Manager will drive the development and socialisation of the Results Frameworks, indicators, and data collection tools; oversee data quality, analysis, and reporting; and guide the integration of MEAL into programme design, donor proposals, Theories of Change, and logframes. Working closely with the Head of MEAL, Senior Learning & Research Manager, Country Directors, and advocacy leads, the post holder will influence programme design, donor engagement, and the MEAL strategy.

KEY OBJECTIVES

• Oversee the development, refinement, and implementation of the Programmes and Advocacy Results Framework, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and global best practice.
• Lead high-level analysis, synthesis, and communication of programme results for executive leadership, Board of Trustees, and key donors.
• Drive the digital transformation of MEAL systems, including the appropriate Artificial Intelligence tools ensuring interoperability, efficiency, and accessibility of data across programmes.
• Establish and implement MEAL quality standards, protocols, and SOPs across all country programmes, joint programmes with partner organisations, and advocacy initiatives.
• Collaborate on the design and implementation of internal and external evaluations, ensuring they meet rigorous methodological standards.
• Act as primary technical advisor to senior programme leadership on adaptive management, data-driven decision-making, and strategic learning priorities.
• Represent the organisation in high-level MEAL-related forums, donor meetings, and sector learning networks.
• Strengthen partner and country programme MEAL capacity through targeted technical assistance, advanced training, and mentoring.
• Lead the development of MEAL strategies and frameworks for major funding proposals and multi-country initiatives.
• Identify and integrate innovative tools and methodologies (including data visualisation) to enhance analysis.
