ROLE PURPOSE
RightWalk operates on the principle that 'what gets measured, gets governed.' This role owns the data spine of the organisation — the independent control room that tells every layer of RightWalk whether systems are working, outcomes are real, and learning is being captured. Critically, this function must be independent of the program teams whose performance it measures. Data inflation and incentive-driven reporting are existential threats to RightWalk's credibility. The Head – Data, M&E; & Institutional Intelligence is the institutional conscience of the organisation's evidence.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Data and indicator architecture• Design and own the end-to-end data architecture: from field input to impact indicators — definitions, collection protocols, validation logic, and storage.
• Build common data dictionaries across programs and states.
• Ensure indicator definitions are transparent, auditable and usable by teams.
• Align program indicators with donor reporting, government dashboards and internal learning needs.

2.



Dashboards and institutional intelligence• Build and maintain real-time dashboards and standard report packs for the CEO, state teams, and donors.
• Drive institutional intelligence: cross-state comparisons, learning loops, and evidence synthesis for policy refinement.
• Convert data into actionable intelligence for policy, program and product decisions.
• Manage the Knowledge Management function — evidence library, document repositories, and institutional memory.

3. M&E; systems and quality assurance• Lead the M&E; framework: indicator design, sampling methodology, periodic evaluation cycles, and external evaluation partnerships.
• Own data governance — data quality audits, mystery beneficiary calls, red-flag dashboards, and anomaly detection.
• Lead and develop State M&E; Leads (embedded in states, functionally reporting to this role).
• Conduct periodic verification, mystery beneficiary calls, red-flag reviews and quality audits.
