Data Cleansing Analyst Plan International Zambia

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

The Opportunity

Plan International is undertaking a major technology and business transformation programme (Programme Y.O.D.A.) involving the implementation of new enterprise resource planning (ERP), which includes Finance and Supply Chain, project management for the purposes of tracking execution of grant and sponsorship funded development programmes and monitoring and evaluation systems reporting on the outcomes and impact of our work.

The role of the Data Cleansing Analyst is a very exciting new opportunity to work globally across Plan International and our 55 country offices (spread over Asia Pacific, Africa, Middle East and the Americas) to ensure that our data is in a great state to be migrated onto our new Y.O.D.A systems.

Reporting to the Deployment Execution Programme Manager, you will work with a diverse team of passionate people to first extract and analyse data and then support, communicate and update our country offices on a monthly basis to ensure we are making progress and are in a stable state to transform our global systems (which will be a staggered deployment approach of country offices over the course of a year).

The role is a fantastic opportunity to work in a complex, global environment with a dedicated team and making a difference to Plan’s humanitarian initiatives.

The Individual

The successful candidate will be proficient in Power BI as well as Excel and Outlook with strong written and verbal communication skills. They will be a proactive problem solver who is passionate about Plan International’s mission.

It is desirable that they have knowledge or experience of SQL, although this is not essential as this can be learnt ‘on the job’ if required, however a willingness to learn and develop is key.

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

Plan International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
