Job Title: IT and Database Manager, Nigeria Third Party Monitoring Project

Location: Abuja

Project Summary

• The purpose of the Nigeria Third Party Monitoring Project (NTPMP) contract is to provide independent, verifiable, primary data regarding the outputs and quality of humanitarian assistance activities funded by the United States Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) in Nigeria through comprehensive third-party monitoring (TPM).
• TPM is necessary to ensure USAID/BHA has sufficient information to perform oversight and accountability of implementing partner (IP) activities. Due to the non-permissive environment in Nigeria and the inability of USAID/BHA staff to travel to activity implementation sites, TPM is essential to fulfill this purpose.
• USAID/BHA will use TPM information provided by the NTPMP to identify issues and challenges related to the delivery of goods and services, potential large-scale aid diversion, accountability to affected populations, and make real-time programmatic adjustments and inform future programmatic decisions and designs.

Position Summary

• The IT and Database Manager will oversee the development, management, and enhancement of data systems and visualization platforms to support the Mission’s monitoring, evaluation, and reporting functions.
• This role will provide technical guidance to program offices, technical teams, and implementing partners, ensuring high-quality data management, accessibility, and visualization. Working closely with the Data Management and GIS Specialist, the IT and Database Manager will focus on optimizing data platforms for user-friendly, insightful dashboards and reporting tools.

• Provide training and technical support to users to enhance data use, visualization skills, and platform engagement.
• Collaborate with the project and leadership team to enhance data-driven decision-making and strategic planning through regular feedback and recommendations.
