About the Position

This role is crucial in steering our efforts towards exploring, developing and/or implementing new products, services, and offerings to improve the Connect platform, and ensuring the team delivers on Dimagi’s core values of Impact, Team, and Profit (in that order). The scope of this role will vary depending on the interventions or special projects they are leading and is expected to rapidly evolve along with the priorities of the division.
Responsibilities
• Lead one or more Connect interventions which may include some or all of the following phases: conceptualization, development, testing and/or implementation of new products or solutions, as well as the development and execution of go-to-market strategy.
• End-to-end accountability for your own intervention, which includes (but is not limited to):
• Maintaining a high-level vision and objectives for the intervention, aligned on with senior leadership and implementing teams.
• Leading program design, including ideating, testing and iterating on approaches and selecting research and evaluation methods, in line with program goals, constraints and user needs.
• Ensuring timely delivery and high-quality outcomes of contracted work with external or internal partners.
• Defining success criteria and how to measure them, including user engagement and feedback, and using data on an ongoing basis to assess ROI and adherence to the intervention's vision and objectives.

• Advance the division’s overall goals and strategy, as well as the implementation of these goals and associated processes.

• Data and reporting, such as building dashboards, analyzing program data, and preparing internal or external reports.
• Marketing and communications, such as blog posts, case studies, demo videos, and presentation materials.
• Becoming a Subject Matter Expert on a specific program area that requires deep learning, research, or collaboration with industry experts. This knowledge is expected to be used for program design or internal consultation.

• Leadership and Team Management:
• Lead resource planning and management for own intervention(s) in consultation with other intervention leads.
• Build an agile team, foster a culture of innovation, encouraging team members to explore new ideas and approaches, as well as adapt to ambiguity and new ways of working.
