Role Purpose Statement

The Data Manager supports both the advisory and research arms of Busara by leading the planning, execution, and day-to-day management of Busara projects.

As primary project manager for all external Busara projects, a Data Manager quickly gains an expert understanding of a particular problem or research question and uses all tools at their disposal, both within and outside Busara to execute an engagement to the highest possible degree, with careful consideration of timing and budget. The Data Manager develops creative and rigorous solutions to client and partner needs and manages both internal and external relationships with energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism. 

The Data Manager directly manages other project staff who work on their project, as well as liaises with other Busara teams, and is expected to coordinate and manage staff effectively.
