Synopsis

The Monitoring & Evaluation Manager is responsible for shaping and driving SEF impact measurement strategy, ensuring that data is not only credible and timely, but genuinely drives learning, decision-making, and value creation.

  • Lead the design, governance, and optimisation of a single source of truth for all SEF data, including CRM systems, databases, dashboards, and reporting tools.
  • Partner with Operations and Project Management teams to integrate data capture into programme delivery workflows, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and relevance at the point of collection.

Insights, reporting and learning

  • Produce high‑quality quarterly, annual, and ad hoc impact reports, including donor submissions and investor‑facing insights.
  • Translate performance and impact data into clear, actionable insights for leadership, funders, and delivery teams to support decision‑making, strategy refinement, and resource allocation.
