📋 Description
• Develop high-quality slide decks and briefing materials for donor check-ins, presenting program data and learning agenda updates in compelling, accessible formats. • Prepare presentation materials for a range of audiences and purposes, including internal staff meetings, review meetings with government partners, workshops with language and curriculum experts, and ad hoc requests from the Communications team. • Draft and edit program updates, memos, and synthesis documents as needed, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency with Luminos’ voice and standards. • Support the Development team and Director of Programs with proposal development, ensuring program narrative, scale plans, and budget assumptions are accurate, well-evidenced, and internally consistent. • Build and maintain scenario-based scale plans and cost models, translating programmatic assumptions — including class numbers, regions, supervisor ratios, and cost-per-child calculations — into clear budget frameworks for different funding levels and scale trajectories. • Respond to Development team requests for program data, evidence, and technical content in a timely and organized way, and participate in proposal review and refinement cycles as needed. • Collaborate with the team to maintain up-to-date program documentation, including reach figures, model descriptions, and implementation timelines, that can be used quickly for proposal and reporting purposes. • Own and continuously improve project management infrastructure, including maintaining a RASCI matrix, project workplans, and milestone trackers. • Establish and maintain lightweight but effective systems for tracking action items, decisions, and follow-up across teams. • Collaborate with the team to maintain the project’s SharePoint environment, ensuring files, templates, and reference documents are logically structured, consistently named, up-to-date, and accessible to the right people. • Proactively identify coordination gaps or process inefficiencies and propose practical solutions.
🎯 Requirements
• Fluency in written and spoken English and Amharic required. • Exceptional writing skills, with the ability to communicate complex program information clearly and compellingly for diverse audiences, from donors to government partners. • Strong quantitative fluency: the successful candidate will be able to build scenario-based budget models and cost-per-child calculations, and interpret and synthesize program dashboard data. • Proficiency in PowerPoint for producing polished, professional presentations; experience with data visualization tools is a plus. • Proven ability to design and manage project management systems, including workplans, RASCI matrices, and milestone tracking tools. • Highly organized and able to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously, with minimal supervision. • Experience working within or alongside government education systems in Ethiopia strongly preferred. • Familiarity with structured pedagogy, accelerated education, or foundational literacy programs is an advantage.
