Senior Monitoring & Evaluation Officer - JhbFull job descriptionIf this is YOU, Then Apply!You love data! It’s genuinely difficult for you to make plans or judgments without carefully reviewing data. Detail is your bread and butter. You are comfortable, and in fact, prefer working behind the scenes to produce quality work and contribute to outcomes. You get ruffled when people are not clear about terminology; for example, you clearly see the difference between monitoring and evaluation and outcomes and outputs. Although a numbers and data person, you work well with people and get excited when you find opportunities to explain M&E and train others in your field, especially at the community-level. You are an adept producer and consumer of data and are able to connect the dots to demonstrable advocacy wins. You are strategic in your thinking yet reliably and comfortably get work done. You work well in a flat team and can pitch in where you see there is a need. You remain balanced in the face of stress and have a sense of humor. You are flexible, efficient and are able to excel in a constantly changing and complex environment that often requires strong and rapid technical input.The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), is a global activist network fighting for universal access to treatment.
