Raising The Village (RTV) is an international development organization working to end ultra‑poverty in last‑mile rural communities across sub‑Saharan Africa. Our 24‑month universal graduation programs combine targeted material support with agency‑building interventions to help households move durably out of ultra‑poverty.

RTV is investing in the next generation of Venn, an integrated platform for program delivery, monitoring, evaluation, and learning.

What sets Venn apart is its unique ability to unify two critical domains:

• Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL):
  The measurement frameworks, indicators, instruments, and learning loops that drive continuous program improvement.
• Systems:
  The applications, data infrastructure, and data science capabilities that power and operationalize those frameworks.

Getting this platform right has direct consequences for program delivery at scale across multiple countries.

Reporting to the Director of Product, the Project Manager, Product Development owns the planning, execution, and delivery governance for RTV's Venn platform program. You will manage a complex, multi‑team technical program spanning Platform Architecture, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Product, QA, and business stakeholders, ensuring cross‑functional alignment, on‑time delivery, and robust executive communication at every stage.

As the Project Manager, you will drive program momentum across a technically complex, geographically distributed team to deliver RTV's impact in sub‑Saharan Africa. This role requires exceptional communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills to manage cross‑team dependencies, resolve blockers, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities. Ultimately, RTV is looking for a proactive multi‑tasker who takes full accountability for results and maintains a positive, urgent approach to achieving them.
