• Collaborate with government bodies to identify their technology needs and create priority plans to lead development
• Engage with senior stakeholders at the government and enterprise level and assess the feasibility and viability of proposed technology solutions and their integration into digital public infrastructure
• Develop and manage project plans, timelines, and budgets for government projects
• Oversee the implementation and deployment of technology solutions, ensuring they meet quality standards and are delivered within project stipulations
• Provide technical expertise and guidance to government clients throughout the project lifecycle
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, engineers, and project managers
• Assist with advising teams on the best use of project management disciplines and approaches and act as the first point of contact for any program management queries
• Prepare and deliver technical reports, presentations, and documentation to government clients and internal teams
• Stay up-to-date on the latest industry trends, best practices, and government regulations to ensure the solutions are compliant and effective.

• Strongly relevant Scientific, Technology, Engineering or Mathematical (STEM) background and qualifications.
• Ideally hold a postgraduate qualification in a STEM-related field.
• Business or commerce qualifications are desirable, e.g. MBA or similar.

System Assessment: conduct systems diagnostics on the landscape with a focus on:

• The User Perspective including ease of use, barriers to adoption, information needs, ability to reach underserved groups
• Technology Selection including alignment with government goals, vulnerabilities, interoperability, complementarities or conflicts across solutions, and commitment to building digital public goods
• Value of Data by assessing the status of existing data with the Ministry and partners, opportunities and platforms for integration
• Cost-Effectiveness by assessing costs of solutions (fixed vs. variable, one-time vs. recurring) against benefits

Roadmap: Including but not limited to:

• Identifying gaps in functionality and the ability of the current landscape of solutions to address users’ needs and identify key innovations or solutions that could address these gaps, and how they might integrate within the initiative.
• Identifying select partners based on system diagnostics that can be early champions of the roadmap.
• Defining plans for the creation of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) with input from the Steering Committee.
• Conducting one-on-one consultations with solution providers and government (national and state) to inform vision, identify challenges, socialize the concept of roadmaps and DPI, and build on existing structures.
• Assembling panels or individuals with expertise in technical areas (eg: technology, content, generative AI).
• Creating a digital roadmap tool; socializing and training stakeholders on use of the tool; ongoing maintenance.

Reporting: 

• Create one-page summaries on existing (and new) technology solutions, projects, interventions, and activities disaggregated by partner, geography, and level of investment.
• Monitoring, evaluation and reporting of progress relative to program key deliverables and their milestones
• Monitoring, evaluation and reporting of the progress of and interventions required of selected solution providers
