People with albinism are being marginalised, mutilated and murdered across Africa simply for the colour of their skin. Join Standing Voice to defend people with albinism against this horrific discrimination and violence.

About Standing Voice

Standing Voice (SV) is the leading human rights charity promoting people with albinism’s right to full participation in society and well-being across Africa.

Albinism is a genetically inherited condition resulting in melanin deficiency. Due to misguided beliefs about the condition, people with albinism commonly experience social exclusion and abuse, with over 800 violent atrocities reported across Africa since records began. This social rejection adds to the vision and skin health challenges experienced by this group. SV has registered offices in the UK (London), Tanzania (Mwanza) and Malawi (Lilongwe). We work holistically across our dermatology, vision, psychosocial wellbeing & security and livelihoods programmes to offer a wide range of support to this marginalised group. We have over 8,000 registered service users across both countries of operation, and regularly collect detailed project data using our Commcare database. Our work is informed by evidence-based participatory research, conducted with our beneficiaries and their wider communities for over 15 years. We receive funding from individual givers, trusts & foundations and multilateral agencies including the UN to develop innovative projects that achieve well-evidenced social impact.

About The Role

Standing Voice is looking for a dynamic and driven data management professional to join our team as Data Manager in the UK office. This is an exciting and challenging role in a creative and focused working environment, within an organisation with multiple programmes and funding streams across 3 countries. This position suits an ambitious professional with the right skills and confidence to lead on all aspects of data management for a leading human rights charity. This role also has a strong monitoring and evaluation component; the Data Manager will make use of data findings to monitor and evaluate project impact. 

The successful candidate will report to the Executive Director and be tasked with ensuring the charity’s data collection tools are running to an exceptional standard and in depth data analysis is being conducted on a regular basis. The Data Manager will work directly with our teams in Tanzania and Malawi supporting data collection in the field, delivering training and mentorship to staff, and resolving any issues with their data handling and collection tools. This aspect of the role shall be undertaken remotely and in person during country visits when required.

The successful candidate will also lead on bringing the impact of Standing Voice’s work to life through funder and impact reports, supporting fundraising, managing research projects and handling external communications relating to the organisation’s impact and reach. Through doing so the Data Manager will raise the profile of Standing Voice’s work on the global stage at UN events and symposiums. In addition, the Data Manager will work with executive management to communicate the impact of Standing Voice’s work to trustees, funders and supporters.

Suitable candidates will demonstrate a high level of organisation and accuracy in their work and should be highly experienced in designing and building data capture tools, conducting in depth analysis of data sets and bringing this data to life visually. The candidate should be experienced in using data collection and visualisation software such as Commcare and Tableau.

The successful candidate must have excellent communication skills (and ability to clearly present and communicate data and impact to staff, partners and donors); a strong motivation for career development and learning; and a genuine interest in using their technical skills and passion for data, monitoring and evaluation to impact positively on the lives of the individuals we work with. The Data Manager will occasionally travel to Africa for scheduled training for our implementation teams. The role may also involve travel to meet funders or partners around the world. This role will therefore suit candidates interested in travel opportunities.

This role should appeal to individuals who have a genuine passion for human rights; working with data to improve health outcomes for severely marginalised communities; a commitment to using that expertise to achieve a positive and lasting social impact; and a drive for professional development. Joining our team as Data Manager offers a chance to achieve tangible social change through deploying data, monitoring and evaluation expertise in a vibrant and dynamic working environment.
