Role Expectations

*All the below-mentioned tasks would be key to your role. The following requirements are not mentioned in order of priority.

Experiment Planning & Operationalization

• Work with program and A/B testing teams to translate learning questions and hypotheses into practical implementation plans.
• Support the planning of A/B or multi-arm pilots by outlining timelines, operational requirements, and feasibility considerations across program components.
• Help prioritise experiment ideas based on program needs, readiness of field teams, and implementation feasibility.
• Provide feedback on designed experiments such that they are practical to execute in school and field contexts.

Field Team Management & Training

• Develop clear SOPs, checklists, and implementation guides to support field teams in delivering / driving experiments.
• Train field team members in effectively conducting / facilitating these experiments on ground.
• Track progress of ongoing experiments, monitor fidelity of implementation, and flag operational challenges early.
• Work closely with field teams on a daily basis to troubleshoot issues and ensure smooth execution.

On-ground Monitoring & Quality Assurance

• Conduct field visits to ensure complete adherence to assigned treatments and maintain fidelity of experiment implementation.
• Ensure required behavioural, activity-level, and outcome-level data is being captured consistently and reliably.
• Maintain clear and actionable documentation of experiment processes, implementation notes, and any deviations during rollout.

Learnings, Insights & Knowledge Sharing

• Maintain a repository of ongoing and completed experiments, including implementation notes, experiment status, and key learnings and findings.

• Streamline tracking of these experiments by using tech-based solutions.

• Synthesize insights from experiments into simple summaries and actionable recommendations for program teams.
• Share learnings with internal teams to inform program improvements and future experimentation.

Educational Qualification

Bachelors/Masters in Education, Social Science or any other field.

Experience

• 4-5 years of experience in program implementation, field operations, research coordination, or program evaluation in the development or education sector.
• Experience supporting pilots, experiments, or program testing initiatives is strongly preferred.
• Prior experience working closely with field teams and managing on-ground implementation across multiple locations is strongly preferred.

Characteristics

• Comfortable using Microsoft Office and Google Suite (Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms).
• Strong operational and project and team management skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Strong documentation and organizational skills, including maintaining experiment trackers, SOPs, and learning repositories.
