Responsibilities
- Gather and consolidate authorized data from approved organizational systems and departmental sources for defined management-reporting requirements
- Maintain reporting data models, data dictionaries, metadata, and standardized definitions approved for PMO and management reporting
- Document data sources, ownership, refresh schedules, transformations, assumptions, and limitations to ensure traceability
- Handle confidential, personal, financial, programmatic, and donor-related information strictly according to access permissions and applicable data-governance requirements
- Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards and recurring reporting packs for approved organizational-performance and management-reporting requirements
- Translate validated data into clear visualizations and concise reports for non-technical users
- Automate repeatable reporting processes where feasible while maintaining validation, review, and approval controls
- Support reporting at Board, executive leadership, leadership-team, department, program/project, country/office, and action-owner or workstream levels, as defined in the approved PMO reporting framework

- Analyze operational performance, implementation progress, schedules, budgets, procurement cycle times, service-delivery data, and other approved management indicators
- Identify trends, variances, risks, bottlenecks, dependencies, and opportunities for management review
- Support scenario analysis and forecasting using approved assumptions and validated source data
- Provide ad hoc analysis requested through the PMO and authorized by the relevant data owner or accountable function
- Use donor, fundraising, or CRM data only when specifically authorized and validated by the responsible function; ownership of CRM, fundraising analysis, and donor reporting remains outside this role
- Perform routine data-quality reviews to identify missing, inconsistent, duplicated, or anomalous information

- Support approved validation rules, reporting controls, reconciliation processes, and audit trails
- Ensure analyses and dashboards comply with approved definitions, access controls, confidentiality requirements, and executive-reporting standards
- Clearly disclose data limitations, unresolved discrepancies, assumptions, and dates of extraction in reports
- Work with Finance, Programs, Procurement, MEAL, HR, Fundraising, country offices, and system owners to understand authorized reporting needs and validate outputs
- Coordinate with Business Information Systems staff on secure data extraction, integration, refresh, and technical requirements
- Maintain a clear boundary between PMO organizational-performance reporting and MEAL impact, outcome, and beneficiary-level evaluation responsibilities
- Provide technical guidance on reporting feasibility without assuming decision rights belonging to the responsible department
- Maintain an organized, access-controlled repository of approved dashboards, reports, analytical tools, documentation, and reporting calendars
- Prepare user guidance and train authorized staff to interpret dashboards and reports appropriately
- Identify opportunities to improve data collection, reporting efficiency, system integration, and reporting consistency
- Recommend new or revised metrics through the appropriate PMO and departmental approval processes
- Stay current with relevant business intelligence, data-visualization, data-governance, and nonprofit-reporting practices
