​

• Managing Rapid Field Activities: Design and execute short, focused field pilots that produce clear recommendations on whether innovations should be scaled into the broader ILC program
• Define pilot scope, success criteria, and decision points; continuously monitor progress and iterate on both pilot design and the intervention being tested
• Ensure data reliability throughout, including robust measurement protocols and routine sense checks on field data
• Recommend accelerating, modifying, or terminating tests based on early signal rather than running every pilot to completion
• Technical Ownership of ILC: Serve as a technical owner of ILC device performance and design, working closely with Evidence Action engineering teams across the region
• Develop deep familiarity with device types, infrastructure configurations, and modifications deployed across countries to to help prioritize pilots and identify novel innovations to test
• Engage with external technical experts and partners as needed to support device design and testing approaches
• Prioritization and Planning: Contribute to prioritizing which innovations to test and in what sequence, working closely with the Global and Regional program teams
• Translate high-level priorities into concrete testing plans with defined timelines, resource requirements, and decision points
• Documentation and Knowledge Capture: Ensure pilot results, operational learnings, and technical decisions are systematically documented to inform the ILC operational handbook and new geography playbook
• Coordination with Country, Regional, and Global Teams: Manage the interface between the Innovation team and the Uganda country team, including clear communication on scope, timeline, and device management changes
• Ensure innovation work does not disrupt ongoing program operations and deliver outputs the program team can act on
• Coordinate regularly with Regional and Global teams on progress, findings, and strategic direction

Key Performance Indicators

• Number of Completed Pilots: You will be assessed on how many pilots are completed each year, targeting ~2-3 months per pilot, iterating continuously on design throughout each pilot.
• Number of Decisions made from Pilots: You will be assessed on how much each pilot aids overall decision-making, ensuring each recommendation is evidence-backed, has robust data, and answers the core question with enough detail to adopt, improve, or stop the new approach.
• Adoption of Improvements: You will be assessed on how many of the proven ideas ultimately are deployed across the program, such as in operational manuals or in future trainings.
