About Bridge International Academies
Bridge International Academies was conceived in 2007 out of the belief that giving every child access to a high quality education would have the greatest impact on reducing poverty worldwide. With that guiding insight, Bridge International developed a strategy that would enable it to launch a large-scale network of high-quality, ultra low-cost, for-profit primary schools. Operating a network of schools supported by a strong central headquarters gives Bridge International the scale, experience, and capacity to invest in systems of management, support, training, and innovation that allows individual schools to dramatically increase their effectiveness. Using this model, Bridge International is able to profitably deliver high-quality education for $4 per child per month. This ensures that its academies will continue to successfully serve its communities as long as parents value the educational service provided. The first Bridge International Academy launched successfully in Kenya in 2009 and 60 academies will be operating in Kenya in January 2012. Through rapid and strategic expansion, Bridge International will provide a quality education to over a million students in the coming years.

DATA OFFICER
Credit markets play a critical role in promoting economic growth and development. One of the inefficiencies that limit the credit markets’ contribution to financial inclusion is information asymmetry. Many credit markets have embraced Credit Information Sharing (CIS) as one way of addressing these inefficiencies.
The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA), working through a Joint Task Force (JTF), have over the last several years prepared the ground for the implementation of a Credit Information Sharing (CIS) mechanism for the Banking Industry. With funding support from FSD Kenya, the Kenya Credit Information Sharing Initiative (KCISI) was established under the auspices of KBA to help with the day-to-day operations of this assignment. These efforts led to the official roll-out of the banking sector CIS in July 2010. At the conclusion of the first phase of the project in July 2011, the primary objective was achieved, namely: facilitating sharing of negative credit information by institutions licensed under the Banking Act through licensed credit reference bureaus.
It is widely acknowledged that a CIS mechanism needs to provide for full-file comprehensive data, if it is to achieve its full potential. In Phase II of the project, KCISI has been mandated to work with banks to introduce sharing of data on performing loans. In addition, KCISI will work with other credit providers to ensure an expanded scope of credit reporting beyond banks. Consequently, stakeholders will be called upon to form a Kenya Credit Providers Association that will bring together all credit providers with a common objective of establishing a comprehensive credit reporting regime in Kenya.
The broadening of the mechanism introduces a critical need for the project team to focus on the ICT issues in the non-banks that will facilitate effective participation in the data transmission mechanism linking the credit providers and the credit reference bureaus. As the project extends to include non-bank credit providers, there is clear need for an officer conversant with IT issues to support coordination of data transmission involving non-bank credit providers.
SUMMARY: The Data Officer will support additional non bank credit providers into the credit information sharing system with development of systems necessary for extraction and submission of data as well as integrating the credit data into the credit providers risk analysis.
KEY RESPONSIBILITES
1. Development of a data template
* Under the guidance of the Project Manager and IT Specialist within KCISI, work with representatives of non-bank credit providers to
* Develop data standards for data exchange between non-bank credit providers
2. Carry out data and automation surveys
* Develop and administer a questionnaire to determine the level of automation in the operations of participating non-bank credit providers
* Identify IT-related capacity requirements among the non-bank credit providers and recommend ways of addressing capacity gaps
* Develop monitoring and evaluation methods to assess progress on IT-related capacity building actions
3. Co-ordinate data exchange pilot programmes
* Work with participating non-bank credit providers to develop a data exchange pilot programme
* Co-ordinate the data exchange pilot programme to implement and monitor results
* Prepare post-pilot program report
4. Liaison with participating credit providers and participating credit reference bureaus
* Work with participating non-bank credit providers to address data issues pertaining to the data exchange program
* Provide participating non-bank credit providers with advice on general ICT-related matters affecting data transmission.
REQUIREMENTS
* A degree with 5 years experience or a Diploma with at least 8 years experience in relational database development, software development, system analysis from a banking or micro finance institution.
* Experience working in and or strong knowledge of the Kenyan Financial sector.
* Experience in project management.
* Ability to work independently and deliver against the set deadlines.
* Excellent oral and written communication skills.
How to apply:
Send your application including a cover letter indicating your desire to work with our client; a detailed CV highlighting relevant experience, details of current and expected salary, a daytime phone contact, email address, and the names of three professional referees by close of business Wednesday 30th November 2011.
