About Us

APLYD helps governments, multilateral institutions, development finance institutions and foundations use AI in public systems. Most public-sector AI stops at the pilot. Our work is getting it into everyday service delivery and keeping it running once we leave.

Athena Infonomics has done this work for years. In 2026 we set it up as its own company. We cover strategy and readiness, field data and last-mile reach, design and build, evaluation and audit, and scale and production.

The Role

You support the engagement across both workstreams: the country pipeline on one side and the digital public goods pipeline on the other. You do the research, the documents and the coordination that keep both moving,



and you learn how a government-to-government programme actually works.

Core Job Responsibilities

Research partner countries before the team engages them: national digital priorities, existing commitments, which programmes are live and who decides.
Keep the country pipeline record accurate: where each engagement stands, what it is waiting on, and what has stalled.
Draft sections of country dossiers, concept notes and proposals, starting with the parts that are mostly research and structure.
Prepare delegations, study tours and technical exchanges: the invitation list, the material, the logistics and the follow-up.
Take notes in counterpart and partner meetings and turn them into something the team can act on the same week.
Support the milestone and funder reporting with the underlying figures and evidence.
