Posted on Jul 14, 2024

Consumers are increasingly asking if the brands they trust are “sustainable” – that is, produced under acceptable social, economic and environmental practices. Companies have responded by setting targets for becoming “100% sustainable”. However, traditional approaches for verifying sustainability face challenges reaching farmers that are too small, too remote, or informally organized. Enveritas (www.enveritas.org) is building solutions for smallholder coffee farmers that are currently beyond the reach of existing sustainability certification or verification approaches. We have developed a rigorous, scalable and transparent method of verification that works in this “underserved space.” This verification is the backbone of our Responsible Sourcing platform that helps companies meet their sustainability targets by investing in the areas that need it most.

Summary:

We are looking for a Junior Data Analyst to join our team. The Junior Data Analyst will be managing, analyzing, and cleaning data on a real-time basis, providing feedback to field teams, and collaborating with members of the Enveritas’ team. The Junior Data Analyst will also perform ad-hoc data analysis to monitor the quality of surveys and help manage and coordinate field team logistics, primarily in Papua New Guinea. This person will mainly help operational work in Papua New Guinea and can generate and execute on new opportunities in the region, in other countries.

What you'll do:

  • Lead the day-to-day, end-to-end data quality process in multiple countries, primarily in Papua New Guinea:
    • Customize our surveys (e.g., smallholder, estate) for the country
    • Train enumerator teams on data collection methodology and tools; create/review retraining documents and sessions where needed
    • Generate and analyze daily quality control reports from survey data
    • Review daily and weekly quality control reports, and communicate with field teams to correct mistakes and improve data quality
    • Monitor data quality collected on a daily basis, and report results to Data and Insights manager
    • Identify and solve survey or logistical issues during survey collection
    • Conduct data analyses, and support insights generation and reporting
  • Coordinate the work of field survey teams alongside the Operations Manager; this includes travel 10-20% of the year
  • Conduct research, data analysis projects, and engage with local & regional stakeholders to better understand coffee industry dynamics, especially for Papua New Guinea
  • Test, design and improve Data Quality tools and survey questionnaires using smartphones
  • Support and implement special projects and other ad hoc requests, especially in Papua New Guinea
  • Other duties as assigned

  • Detail-oriented: High attention to detail, able to help field teams improve data quality
  • Computer skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Docs applications, and familiar with quantitative data collection software/platforms.
