Impact Insights Analyst Job AMI

Project Management Jobs. African Management Institute Jobs

Job Description

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.
