The organization operates in over 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities, focusing on responding to the world's most severe humanitarian crises. The IRC's mission is to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to individuals affected by conflict and disaster.

Job Overview:
The Data Analyst position is integral to the IRC Poland's Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) / Programmes function. The role is focused on enhancing the organization's data systems and transforming them into actionable reports. The Data Analyst will be responsible for setting up and maintaining data integrations using OpenFn, ensuring a seamless connection between CommCare and Excel, and developing comprehensive Excel-based reports that consolidate data from CommCare and KoboToolbox. This position is particularly significant as IRC Poland is among the first offices to implement OpenFn, requiring the Data Analyst to learn the platform thoroughly and establish a robust setup for future use. The role is vital for supporting evidence-based decision-making and ensuring accountability across the country programme, which has been active in Poland since February 2022, responding to the humanitarian needs arising from the war in Ukraine.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Required Qualifications:
Candidates must possess a university degree in data analysis, computer science, statistics, or a related field, or have equivalent practical experience. Advanced proficiency in Excel is essential, including the ability to build reports and dashboards that integrate data from external sources. Practical experience with CommCare or similar digital data-collection platforms is required, along with familiarity with KoboToolbox. Experience with OpenFn or comparable data-integration tools is advantageous but not mandatory. Strong attention to detail and the ability to present data clearly to diverse audiences are critical for success in this role.
Educational Background:
A university degree in data analysis, computer science, statistics, or a related field is required. Equivalent practical experience may also be considered in lieu of formal education. Candidates should demonstrate advanced skills in Excel and familiarity with data management tools.
Experience:
The position requires practical experience with data analysis and management, particularly with tools like CommCare and Excel. Familiarity with data integration platforms such as OpenFn is beneficial, but the ability to learn new tools independently is more important than prior experience with specific software. Candidates should have a strong background in handling data from multiple sources and presenting it effectively.
