This role will support the global gathering and analysis of the Projects-on-track indicator data. Working with functional experts from across the movement, this role will be responsible to collect, enter, quality control, analyse and present data on how our projects are on track to deliver their intended outputs and outcomes. This is a short-term role to boost coverage of Projects on Track data ahead of automation with the PRIME management information system over 2022-24.
