Business Intelligence Developer
About Spark Microgrants
Decades of prescriptive aid have sidelined the poor from the very programs meant to uplift them. Having reached 500+ villages across six countries, Spark works to open opportunities for villages facing rural poverty across East and West Africa to drive local change. Spark’s key innovation, the FCAP, is a village planning and grant process that consists of curated weekly village meetings and a seed grant that families use to launch initiatives of their choice — from farms to feed their families to schools to educate their kids. As a result, the number of families who eat more than one meal per day doubles, women’s civic engagement increases sevenfold, and 85 percent of villages continue to meet and work together. Spark trains partner organisations and works with governments to scale the FCAP as the model of choice to advance social and economic development, improve lives, and secure lasting change. With demand from the Government of Rwanda for a national scale program and civil society groups around the world, the BI developer will play a critical role in delivering strategically critical projects that will enable 10 million+ lives to be reached in the next decade.

About The Role
Spark is seeking a highly organised, detail oriented, resourceful and creative BI Developer to work alongside the PMO Manager. The BI Developer will work closely with the PMO Manager to create dashboards and reports that generate insights and improve the management team's understanding of enterprise performance thereby supporting data driven decision making. The role will give the right person a full view into running the organisation and allow them to influence organisation strategy growth and shape our work during a time of exciting growth. This will also mean a high level of flexibility and ability to juggle multiple priorities and projects simultaneously.
