Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Manager

Who We Are

At IREX we strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people and communities thrive.

But around the globe, persistent poverty, repression, and injustice prevent too many people form achieving their full potential.  To address these problems, we focus on people, not on vaccines, roads, or wells. We support individuals and institutions to create change in their own communities—and to create person to person bridges between nations.

IREX works with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.

IREX seeks a qualified Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Manager to support a five-year USAID-funded project 2020-2025, USAID Pre-Service Teacher Education in Jordan.  Working with stakeholders including the Queen Rania Teacher Academy, the Program will support universities to expand and improve pre-service teacher education, and the Government of Jordan to develop and implement teacher education reforms. 

Under the supervision of the Chief of Party, the MEL Manager will continually develop and implement the project’s monitoring and evaluation plan, and its Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) approach to enable informed program adaptation throughout implementation. They will manage the learning agenda; design and implementation of the MEL system; oversee data collection and analysis; take the lead on external audits of data quality, lead on national surveys through question design and data collection and develop reports and data visualizations that communicate impact and progress towards programmatic and organizational goals to a variety of internal and external stakeholders. The position supervises one staff member. 

We are doers. Our decades of on-the-ground experience help us create greater impact, practical recommendations, and lasting partnerships.
