Position Summary
The MRM Manager leads the design and continual improvement of a rigorous MRM system.

The MRM Manager leads a team, consisting of a Field Researcher and Senior Coordinator(s), to implement the MRM system, and ensure that related activities for field monitoring, data collection, analysis and reporting of results are well planned, adequately resourced, and effectively delivered. This will ensure that relevant and useful information and learnings are generated on a timely basis for internal Strongim Bisnis team members (consisting of Partnership Managers, sector teams, hub leads and the Senior Management Team), as well as external stakeholders, including DFAT and Solomon Islands Government (SIG) officials and representatives.
The MRM Manager is also responsible for leading the analysis of program impact and value for money and supporting senior management decision-making towards needed program adaptations to these ends.

Strongim Bisnis strives for continual improvement to produce work that aligns clearly to analysis, is rooted in the MSD approach, can demonstrate attributable results, and swiftly adapts to market system changes. The MRM Manager will apply their extensive experience in support of these Strongim Bisnis intentions.
