  • Identify inefficiencies or gaps in systems and propose improvements.
  • Insight Generation
  • Analyse data to uncover patterns, risks, and opportunities for fundraising growth.
  • Use desktop and secondary research to generate insights
  • Leverage AI and research tools to deepen insights into donor trends and funding opportunities as well as enhance our data and insight capabilities.
  • Translate findings into actionable recommendations for leadership and frontline fundraisers.
  • Collaboration
  • Act as a thought partner to the Fundraising Data Analysis & Reporting Head.
  • Engage across fundraising teams to understand their needs and proactively provide solutions.
  • Contribute to donor proposals and reporting by supplying data-driven evidence.

Competencies, qualifications and experience needed for the role:

  • 2–4 years' experience in data/business analysis, preferably within fundraising, NGOs, or related sectors.
  • Strong experience with Power BI (dashboards, data models) and Salesforce.
  • Proven ability to interpret data and generate insights that add strategic value.
  • Strong process orientation and ability to enforce SOPs.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to present findings and train others.

  • Self-starter: proactive, curious, and able to work independently with limited supervision.

  • Desirable:

  • Experience in fundraising intelligence or donor market research.

  • Knowledge of impact measurement or international development funding trends.
  • Interest in applying AI and automation to strengthen analysis.
  • Passion for conservation and Africa's natural heritage.
