Description
Research and Strategy:
- Conduct thorough secondary research on global and local ed-tech practices and interventions in the K-12 space and propose evidence backed models that are viable in low-income contexts
- Synthesize secondary research to inform decision-making and program design
Program Design
- Support in designing tech-based education interventions, including identifying problems, stakeholders, defining user needs, and shaping program theory.
- Contribute to pilot design, including sampling frameworks, monitoring tools, and implementation processes.
- Assist in building or refining the Theory of Change (TOC), articulating assumptions, pathways, and intended outcomes.
- Develop structured documentation for new products or interventions, ensuring clarity and alignment with organizational priorities.
Implementation & Testing
- Coordinate and support the roll-out of pilots, including training, communication with field teams, and initial troubleshooting.
- Facilitate the testing and iteration of prototypes or early-stage interventions including providing feedback and support after solution deployment
- Capture field insights and translate them into actionable improvements for product or program refinement.
- Work closely with data, curriculum, and tech teams to ensure smooth execution.
- Develop understanding of monitoring and evaluation tools and use them effectively to monitor project outcomes
- Regular field visits to monitor and evaluate projects
- Prepare weekly field updates and monthly field reports
- Evaluate project readiness for scale
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with internal teams (Curriculum, Training, Tech, Monitoring & Evaluation) to ensure interventions are coherent and feasible.
- Engage with external partners and solution providers to explore collaborations and learning opportunities.
Required Skills
- Strong research and analytical skills with demonstrated experience in literature review and synthesizing evidence.
- Familiarity with qualitative and quantitative research methods.
- Exposure to monitoring, evaluation, or impact measurement frameworks (knowledge of RCTs is a plus).
- Excellent written communication, with the ability to synthesize information into quality decks.
- Strong operational and project management skills
- Comfort working in dynamic, iterative program development cycles.
- Curiosity and a growth mindset. Keen to explore new ideas, tools, and methods.
- Understanding of low-resource schooling contexts.
- Keen interest in understanding how language acquisition occurs
Education
Bachelor’s degree (Preferably in Social Sciences, Computer Sciences or Education)
Experience
2-3 years of relevant experience in education, ed-tech, research, instructional design, or related fields. Experience with ed-tech product management and familiarity with integrating technology solutions in low-resource school settings is preferred.
