With offices in 30 countries and projects in more than 100 countries, Conservation International partners with governments, companies, civil society, Indigenous peoples, and local communities to help people and nature thrive together.
POSITION SUMMARY - This position could be based in Bogota-Colombia, San Jose-Costa Rica, Quito-Ecuador, Brazil (remote), Mexico City-Mexico, Lima-Peru, Nairobi-Kenya, Cape Town-South Africa or Brussels-Belgium
Conservation International recently established a system to track global impact. We are seeking a data expert to help (a) serve as a day-to-day technical project manager to ensure data collection, data management, and data quality control with our global program teams and subgranting units, (b) to run the... quantitative analysis needed to measure our impact, under supervision and (c) to develop and implement new, forward-thinking approaches to meet institutional needs as our system advances.
The Data Manager will be responsible for communicating with program staff and partners to ensure that data is collected and submitted according to institutional requirements.

• Generate statistics summarizing impact metrics within or across country programs and serve as a GIS lead, responding to requests from upper-level management, country programs, and other divisions.
• Produce and Visualize data, information, maps, and related information to make data informative and useful to a non-technical audience using tools like PowerBI. Summarize analysis and document findings in graphs, reports, presentations, factsheets, and other communication mediums.
• Manage spatial and nonspatial database, including through the use of spreadsheets, relational databases, and GIS databases.
• Serve as a GIS resource for Conservation International’s programs and including building GIS skills and capacity among staff who lack experience, by developing and conducting trainings and providing direct support; help internal and external partners manage and use GIS information and tools to accomplish program objectives and provide timely analysis of impact data to inform conservation work.

• Develop tools, standard operating procedures, and other resources to guide staff and partners who submit data.
Problem Solving and Systems Thinking
• Identify findings and insights that inform CI’s conservation work, internal management decision-making, strategy, and planning efforts – through data synthesis and by understanding key institutional data uses and decision points.
• Support the organization in connecting existing metrics and deliverable systems for alignment and reporting purposes.
• Help enhance the system and ensure connection among institutional datasets by anticipating future uses and needs, understanding stakeholder requirements, determining and leading system enhancements based on user needs, and setting a vision for the program with leadership.

Conservation International protects nature for the benefit of humanity. Through science, policy, fieldwork, and finance, we spotlight and secure the most important places in nature for the climate, biodiversity, and for people. With offices in 30 countries and projects in more than 100 countries, Conservation International partners with governments, companies, civil society, Indigenous peoples, and local communities to help people and nature thrive together.
POSITION SUMMARY - This position could be based in Bogota-Colombia, San Jose-Costa Rica, Quito-Ecuador, Brazil (remote), Mexico City-Mexico, Lima-Peru, Nairobi-Kenya, Cape Town-South Africa or Brussels-Belgium
Conservation International recently established a system to track global impact. We are seeking a data expert to help (a) serve as a day-to-day technical project manager to ensure data collection, data management, and data quality control with our global program teams and subgranting units, (b) to run the... quantitative analysis needed to measure our impact, under supervision and (c) to develop and implement new, forward-thinking approaches to meet institutional needs as our system advances.
The Data Manager will be responsible for communicating with program staff and partners to ensure that data is collected and submitted according to institutional requirements. This will require regular communication, reminders, training, and support with global staff. Much of Conservation International’s site-level data is captured via GIS shapefiles, and as such, the Data Manager should have knowledge of GIS systems and as needed, function as a key GIS data technical resource for Conservation International’s country programs, Moore Center for Science, and Strategy & Impact team. As data is submitted, they will quality control submissions, compile data including GIS information, and synthesize data into organized datasets and useful products, to enable spatial analyses. The Data Manager will work closely with key stakeholders across CI to identify data needs, envision how we can best communicate our impacts internally and externally, and produce results that serve current and future needs in the form of reports, presentations, factsheets, and other data visualization products. They will serve as the key point person for institutional impact data requests as needed for donors, leadership, and internal support.
This role requires not only a detail-oriented eye for technical day-to-day project management but the ability to create strong collaboration across internal teams and guide CI’s vision for long-term institutional impact data uses.
This position does not directly manage staff. Work duties are performed under general direction.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Project Management
• Serve as the lead data collection project manager for Conservation International’s impact metrics system. You will lead a cross-divisional team and ensure coordinated collaboration. This includes working with global staff and partners to collect spatial datasets by providing clear instructions and guidance to data providers; managing timelines; and providing support and feedback to ensure high-quality, standardized, and on-time data submissions that enable institutional-wide impact analysis.
• Manage program communications across CI: Champion the impact data program and communicate vision across divisions; communicate regularly during data collection with country programs, partners, and other analysis team members to focus the team on clear needs, requirements, and timelines; develop training and capacity building support that will include conducting instructional webinars or seminars and providing daily guidance and support to non-technical staff.
• Ensure quality data results, by serving as the data analysis project manager for Conservation International’s impact metrics system. This includes coordinating Moore Center scientists and IT staff by managing timelines and expectations for collection, cleaning, analysis, reporting, and final deliverables.
Data Collection, Analysis and Capacity Building
• Run spatial data processing and analysis in ArcGIS and Google Earth Engine: data review, quality control, synthesis, and cleaning (e.g. ability to create/digitize shapefiles, correct geometries, test topography, join spatial and tabular files and work in both geodatabase and shapefiles formats).
• Run analysis using AWS Batch, Python, and R with Moore Center guidance.
• Generate statistics summarizing impact metrics within or across country programs and serve as a GIS lead, responding to requests from upper-level management, country programs, and other divisions.
• Produce and Visualize data, information, maps, and related information to make data informative and useful to a non-technical audience using tools like PowerBI. Summarize analysis and document findings in graphs, reports, presentations, factsheets, and other communication mediums.
• Manage spatial and nonspatial database, including through the use of spreadsheets, relational databases, and GIS databases.
• Serve as a GIS resource for Conservation International’s programs and including building GIS skills and capacity among staff who lack experience, by developing and conducting trainings and providing direct support; help internal and external partners manage and use GIS information and tools to accomplish program objectives and provide timely analysis of impact data to inform conservation work. Implement additional strategies to increase capacity.
• Develop tools, standard operating procedures, and other resources to guide staff and partners who submit data.
Problem Solving and Systems Thinking
• Identify findings and insights that inform CI’s conservation work, internal management decision-making, strategy, and planning efforts – through data synthesis and by understanding key institutional data uses and decision points.
• Support the organization in connecting existing metrics and deliverable systems for alignment and reporting purposes.
• Help enhance the system and ensure connection among institutional datasets by anticipating future uses and needs, understanding stakeholder requirements, determining and leading system enhancements based on user needs, and setting a vision for the program with leadership.
• Other related duties as assigned.
WORKING CONDITIONS
• Work is performed in a typical office environment.
• Flexibility to travel as needed.
• Ability to work irregular and extended work hours to meet deadlines.
• Guidance on flexible work arrangements will be shared during the interview process.

Our Mission
The problem: In 2017, nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.

Our Mission
The problem: In 2017, nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.
How we're solving it: We're building financial services to work as they should: no account fees, instantly available and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always function, we're creating financial infrastructure that "just works." In fall 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments; we're now processing over 200k payments every month. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent. That's where you come in...
How you’ll help us achieve... it
We’re looking for an experienced and flexible Head of Information Security to manage and expand our security program and team.

• Manage cyber security and compliance incidents should they occur
• Design and implement a cyber security strategy and budget, including policies, technology solutions, and employee education
• Develop, establish, and enforce IT and cybersecurity policies and business standards
• Assess staffing needs and hiring to meet those
• Advise executive management and recommend cyber security actions based on risks, benefits, and cost.
• Attain and retain our ISO 27001 certification
• Define, implement, and assess cybersecurity controls
• Select and deploy cybersecurity technology solutions and technical controls
• Work with the engineering team to assess security implications of proposed changes
• Be an ambassador for security within the organization and the face of security for external regulators and stakeholders
Key details
• You can work remotely from anywhere (between UTC -8 and +4) with reliable Internet access. However, your application may be preferred if you are based in these countries: USA, UK, Canada, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Uganda, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Germany.
• Our team meets in Senegal every two months for retreats, which are one week in length. Wave covers all costs associated with travel to and from Senegal.
• Salaries are calculated using a transparent formula.
Major benefits:
• Subsidized health insurance for you and your dependents and retirement contributions (both vary from country-to-country)
• 6 months fully paid parental leave and subsidized fertility assistance
• Unlimited vacation with a 20-day minimum requirement
• $10,000 annual charitable donation matching
You might be a good fit if you
• Possess strong skills in problem-solving, communications, collaboration, and leadership
• Love owning projects - you're autonomous yet know when to escalate problems and how to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders.
• Are intellectually curious, creative in the way you go about tackling problems ,and embrace failure as a means to spark innovation and growth.
• Willing to go the distance to get something done.
• Care deeply about the usability of tools and systems that will impact employees’ work every day
