What does the day look like?
30% of your day is grant tracking, drafting donor narrative progress reports and monitoring budget spending. 25% is administrative logistics: booking venues, drafting vendor contracts, processing participant per diems and arranging transport for field activities. 20% is team and partner communication: weekly coordination calls with field officers, partner NGOs and steering committees. 15% is MEAL: collecting attendance sheets and survey data, entering indicator numbers into project dashboards. 10% is direct contact with the community during field monitoring visits or workshops.
You work in Excel and Google Sheets (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, grant budget trackers), Asana, Trello, Monday.com, Jira, SAP, Oracle NetSuite, the UN Partner Portal and the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, plus KoboToolbox, ODK, Slack, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Standard hours are 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, 09:00 to 18:00. During quarterly donor reporting deadlines, grant audits and proposal windows the load rises to 50 to 60 hours per week. There are no routine night shifts, but weekend workshops and monitoring trips are standard.
