Product Manager/Business Analyst for Mobile Based Data Technology Platform  About the Role:  - We are hiring for a position of Product Manager/Business Analyst at STIR Education Bangalore (Karnataka, India) Office to conceptualize and develop a mobile based technology platform for driving - good data- approach across India and Uganda.  - The candidate will report to the M&E head in STIR's London HQ.  - Brief info about STIR and Good Data Approach  - STIR Education partners with education systems to ignite and sustain teachers- intrinsic motivation.  - This is in order to improve classroom practice, children's learning and financial efficiency in education systems. STIR has grown rapidly, now impacting 27,000 teachers and 1.1 million children in India and Uganda. By 2022, we aim to reach 1.6 million teachers impacting 60 million children. STIR achieves its mission by building teacher networks and by embedding its approach to strengthen government systems.  - As our reach continues to expand, it is critical that we radically improve our understanding of changes in teacher mindsets and behaviors, teaching practice, and student learning among the teachers that we work with. The more that we learn about correlations between individual schools, teachers, and students, who all work in different contexts, come from different backgrounds, and face different challenges, the better we can provide more targeted, evidence-based support and decision making capacity to these individuals for improving their own practice as well as for better police formulation. Understanding these correlations, validated by external, rigorous impact evaluation with a representative sample of teachers and students to explore causative relationships can in turn greatly enhance education policy making among the systems that we work with.  - Big data refers to an umbrella term for large quantities of diverse, high-frequency data which is stored for regular analysis and learning. Small data, as described by Pasi Sahlberg, refers to the small clues that uncover huge trends, for example through teachers and students observations, assessments, and reflections of the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Going forward, STIR's monitoring and evaluation will make use of powerful combination between small and big data across our programs globally, which has been referred to as - good data.  - As we scale, we are looking to implement a - Good and Agile Data pivot (a mobile based technology platform to collect data), a powerful combination of small and big data, involving collecting impact data on every teacher and every network. This data can be shared frequently with all our teacher networks to give teachers, officials and government a clear sense of how they are performing and linking them to personalized feedback. This would improve decision-making at every level, catalyzing a transformation of classroom practice and student learning and, in turn, developing teacher intrinsic motivation across education systems. Through the good data pivot approach, we want to empower all stakeholders in the system we work with to use data for decision making.  The candidate in this role will be responsible for designing and leading on the implementation of the good data mobile platform, with a key focus on deeply embedding the use of good data internally and externally in the systems that we partner with.  The below STIR values will act as key guiding principles to the successful realization of the gooddata pivot:  We don't have all the answers upfront.  - Instead, we empower people: with high expectations and support, we'll find the answers together.  - We'll continually listen, reflect, learn and improve - and lead through whatever obstacles come our way.  - We're united by a shared belief, passion and vision - which we'll build, achieve and grow together.  Roles and Responsibilities for the Role :  This is a new role in the organization. STIR is looking for a candidate with an entrepreneurial spirit to drive the - Good Data- pivot approach across all STIR's geography. The key responsibilities for the role are described below.
