  • Establish a standard data submission template and validation/QA process for country offices.
  • Lead the design database for AMU to launch, collect COs KPIs and manage and visualize these data.
• Reporting & Power BI Dashboard
  • Build and maintain a live Power BI dashboard connected to the consolidated dataset (and later to NetSuite), refreshed on an agreed cadence.
  • Ensure the dashboard is structured for role-based access (AMU, Country Directors, senior management).
• NetSuite Transition Support
  • Provide a temporary data and reporting mechanism that covers AMU's needs while NetSuite is not yet fully live.
  • Map dashboard fields and logic to the Award and Partnerships Module's fields, current requirements, and workflows.
  • Advise on and help configure NetSuite, including Analytics Connect / API connectivity for live data pulling from NetSuite.
