- Data Management and MIS Excellence: Maintain learner databases, batch schedules, attendance records, and project MIS in Excel/Google Sheets. Ensure data accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness through regular validation and quality checks.
- Support compliance and reporting: Collect, check and organise documentation for funder, partner and statutory requirements.. Maintain audit-ready documentation repositories in line with organizational and funder compliance requirements.
- Run day-to-day admin: Manage schedules, meetings, documentation, filing, shared drives, and stakeholder follow-ups while coordinating with internal teams and external partners for smooth program operations.
- Support project teams: Support internal and external teams by providing timely access to required records, reports, and supporting documents. Proactively escalate data gaps, compliance risks, and operational delays.
- Improve how things run: Standardize SOPs, templates, trackers, and checklists; streamline reporting processes; and identify automation opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
- Accounting and Financial Administration: Maintain basic accounting records, track expenses and payments, reconcile transactions, organize invoices and bills,
and support financial reporting to ensure accurate, transparent, and audit-ready financial documentation.
