AMI helps entrepreneurs and managers across Africa grow businesses and create jobs through practical learning and data-driven solutions.

We are hiring a senior-leaning Impact Insights Analyst to sit in the Impact Intelligence team. You will turn analysis-ready data into clear insights, segmentation, dashboards, and recommendations that guide program and client decisions. You’ll partner closely with our Data Warehouse team, which owns ingestion and data modelling; you own the analysis plan, data quality for decision-making, and the insight layer.

• Data readiness and quality for analysis – Define validation checks, write QA queries, document assumptions, and raise/track fixes with the warehouse team. Maintain lightweight data dictionaries for program, diagnostic and survey datasets.

• Analytics and segmentation – Lead descriptive, diagnostic and basic inferential analyses. Build rule-based and clustering segmentation (e.g., k-means) suited to MSMEs. Run cohort/retention analysis and simple regressions to test hypotheses.

• Dashboards and storytelling – Build decision-focused dashboards in Meta base. Produce short memos and partner-ready slides that move from “what” to “so what” to “now what.”

• Stakeholder enablement – Run office hours and quick trainings for non-technical colleagues. Track adoption of your outputs and iterate based on feedback.

• Impact and MEL support – Own analysis plans, question banks and insight narratives for impact reporting and learning agendas; contribute insight assets to proposals and client presentations.

• Data governance in practice – Apply AMI privacy and consent standards. Promote reproducible analysis with versioned notebooks and documented SQL.

• Boundary of role – This role does not own ETL pipelines, raw schema design or infrastructure; you collaborate with the warehouse team on those.
