Job Description

We're looking for someone rare.

Someone who can collaborate with technical teams in the morning and engage operational partners in the afternoon and make both sides feel understood.

This role sits at the intersection of digital product development and real-world program execution.

You won't just gather requirements.

You won't just coordinate stakeholders.

You'll connect systems, people, and processes to ensure everything works end-to-end.

About the Role

This is a hybrid role combining Software Business Analysis and Program Coordination.

You will serve as the bridge between:

  • Product and engineering teams building digital tools
  • External partners or program stakeholders using those tools in real-world environments

Your success will depend on your ability to translate operational needs into scalable digital solutions and ensure adoption happens smoothly.

What You'll Do

On the Product / Digital Platform Side

  • Gather and translate real-world operational needs into clear product requirements
  • Work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to define features, user flows, and priorities
  • Focus on finding ways to reach a global audience and partners especially in areas we are not physically present with the use of technology
  • Anticipate possible challenges of the app and be able to suggest solutions
  • Help ensure the platform remains intuitive, practical, and aligned with user needs
  • Gather requirements from schools, field teams, and program operations and translate them into clear product requirements for the mobile app, back office, and dashboard
  • Write clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and process documentation
  • Support testing (UAT) and ensure features work in real operational settings
  • Use analytics tools (e.g., PostHog or similar) to understand user behavior and propose improvements

On the Program / Operations Side

  • Lead and create onboarding and implementation across multiple stakeholders or partner organizations
  • Deliver digital sessions and support materials for platform users
  • Coordinate with local partners and teams to ensure schools remain engaged
  • Track progress, identify risks early, and proactively solve challenges
  • Collect structured feedback and convert insights into program and product improvements
  • Standardize processes and documentation to enable scalability
  • Identify, onboard, and maintain relationships with schools across different countries

What We're Looking For

  • 3 years experience in a Software Business Analysis with Program Manager capabilities, or similar cross-functional role
  • Experience with mobile apps is
  • Strong documentation, process mapping, and workflow design skills
  • Experience coordinating with external partners (schools, communities, educational organizations, NGOs, or institutions is a strong advantage)
  • Highly organized and process-driven
  • Comfortable working across different cultures and countries
  • Ability to manage multiple timelines and stakeholders simultaneously
  • Strong communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical audiences
  • Organized, proactive, and systems-oriented
  • Comfortable working in fast-moving, evolving environments
  • Passion for impact-driven work, education, community programs, or mission-led organizations is a plus

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a purely technical role.

It isn't purely operational either.

It's for someone who understands that:

  • Technology only works if people adopt it
  • Programs only scale if systems support them
  • Communication is often the difference between success and failure

If you enjoy building structure, connecting dots, and helping both systems and people succeed this role is for you.
