The Volunteer’s Role

This volunteer placement offers a unique opportunity to help transform how our partner, Fundacion wwb Colombia, captures, manages, and uses its data to measure social impact.

Following a comprehensive internal audit that identified more than 3,000 data variables and significant fragmentation across systems, the Foundation is launching a major data standardization and modernization initiative. As a volunteer, you will play a central role in shaping this transformation.

Your primary focus will be to translate an existing technical assessment of the Foundation’s data value chain into a practical, implementation‑ready framework for data architecture and governance. You will lead the design phase and support the initial implementation, laying the foundations for a more reliable, integrated, and future‑ready data ecosystem.

This role goes well beyond theory. Rather than delivering a standalone database solution, you will design the strategic data architecture required to turn administrative records into trusted assets for decision‑making, accountability, and social impact measurement-fully aligned with the Foundation’s current platforms, including its CRM and other information systems.

What You Will Help Achieve

You will provide strategic and technical guidance to help the Foundation:

• Improve data capture at source
  Redesign data flows into the CRM to close the current 80% standardization gap, ensuring data is consistent and reliable from the point of collection.
• Automate quality control and auditing
  Define technical requirements to replace manual, Excel‑based auditing and participant re‑contact with automated validation rules embedded within operational platforms.
• Break down data silos
  Design a single source of truth that connects data currently scattered across Google Drive, local files, offline forms, and virtual classrooms.
• Build for the future
  Ensure the new data architecture supports the Foundation’s long‑term ambition to move from “detect and react” to “predict and act” through advanced analytics and AI.

As a volunteer, you will:

• Design an integrated data architecture
  Translate existing technical assessments into a high‑level architecture connecting the CRM with current data silos, including virtual classrooms and offline data collection tools. You will design a cross‑functional data capture model that reduces operational burden on field teams and eliminates the use of “Excel as a database.”
• Standardize and normalize data variables
  Apply the proposed dimensional model (person, household, organization) to 3,057 identified variables, with a focus on harmonizing the 80% that require wording or structural adjustments.
• Optimize the data‑to‑audit process
  Design automated validation and control rules to replace manual checks and repeated contact with participants.
• Define an analytics and AI roadmap
  Develop clear technical requirements to support the transition from static reporting to predictive analytics and artificial intelligence.
• Establish data governance practices
  Define roles, responsibilities, and automated quality controls to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and accountability over time.

Essential Qualifications:

• A solid professional background in Economics, Statistics, Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Science, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of hands‑on experience in implementing information systems, data management practices, data quality assurance, or analytical support within medium or large organizations.

Essential Background:

• Proven experience designing and managing data capture and storage systems that support analysis, visualization, and process automation.
• Demonstrated ability to develop relational data models, beneficiary information systems, and modular data collection tools that enable reliable monitoring and evidence‑based decision‑making in social programmes.
• Strong experience collaborating with interdisciplinary teams across analysis, IT, and operations, supporting data standardization and improved data capture workflows.
• Applied knowledge of CRM systems, digital forms, relational databases, and administrative environments such as Google Workspace or similar tools.
• Experience working with NGOs or social impact organizations is highly valued, particularly in contexts involving vulnerable populations and sensitive data.
• A recognized ability to translate technical and strategic data concepts into clear, practical processes for non‑technical teams.
• Key competencies include strong organizational skills, clear and effective communication, operational problem‑solving, process monitoring, and a collaborative mindset, with a willingness to work on‑site as part of a team.

What’s in it for YOU? A life-changing experience!
