Overview

The Senior Manager of Monitoring and Evaluation is responsible for providing leadership, management, technical and strategic guidance, coordination, and support to the organization’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning efforts globally, which includes three country offices (Haiti, Peru, South Sudan) and two independent affiliates (CMMB Kenya, Access to Health Zambia) implementing global health and development programming. The Senior Manager will serve as CMMB US Office’s primary thought leader and primary point of contact on all aspects of monitoring, evaluation, and knowledge management efforts across the organization, helping to set standards and promote cross-network learning in the CMMB network and our partners.

There are three key foci of this role:

  • Promoting standardization and MEL systems quality: The senior manager will serve as the strategic and coordination anchor for the MEL function, responsible for global data aggregation and interpretation, standards-setting, thought leadership, and cross-country learning.
  • Encouraging synthesis and strategic intelligence sharing: Bring together results from across countries and programs into a coherent global picture. Identify trends, surface learning, and translate data into formats that support decision-making, donor reporting, and external communications, making CMMB’s collective impact more visible and legible.
  • Providing capacity strengthening and technical support: Provide structured, proactive support to country Monitoring and Evaluation teams, moving beyond responsive troubleshooting toward sustained coaching on tools, analysis, and interpretation. Support the nurturing of a cross-country MEL community of practice to create space for peer learning across the network.
