Senior MEAL Manager

About Us

Every year, millions die from preventable diseases because vital services do not reach them. A root cause is broken data: missing or unreliable IDs, fragmented records, and inflated reporting. Without accurate data on who receives services, governments and NGOs cannot deliver care effectively, track impact, or target life-saving resources.

Simprints is a nonprofit tech company that partners with ministries and funders to verify identities, digitise workflows, and enable evidence-based decisions so the right services reach the right people at the right time. We co-design end-to-end digital solutions with the people who use them, from the frontlines to national dashboards. Our biometric products integrate with health records to drive accuracy, accountability, and insights.

Studies have shown that Simprints increases impact through real-time, precision data, for example, increasing maternal health visits by 38% in Bangladesh or accurate HIV tracing by 62% in Malawi. To date, we’ve worked in over 18 countries, helping deliver health, aid, and finance to over 4 million people.

Our mission is simple: make sure every vaccine, every dollar, and every public good reaches the people who need them most.

About the Role

The MEAL Manager will enable our Delivery team to roll out highly effective monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning systems across our project portfolio, translating programmatic and operational data  into clear evidence of our impact and effectiveness. As Simprints sharpens its global strategy to drive coverage improvements of critical health services, this role ensures we possess a rock-solid evidence base to back up our solution and drive adaptive project management on the ground.

You will sit at the intersection of traditional monitoring and evaluation, data science, global health and technology. One day you might be facilitating a workshop to help a project team  to better understand trends in technology adoption ; the next, designing qualitative research to explore how community health workers in Ghana perceive biometric tech; and the next, collaborating with our data science team to build intuitive monitoring dashboards.

This is a hands-on role for a rigorous M&E professional who loves turning technical data sets into compelling, human-centric narratives and is a skilled cross-team collaborator . You will bridge the gap between technical results and frontline execution, reinforcing an organizational culture that prioritizes data integrity, continuous learning, and absolute accountability to the frontline workers and communities we serve.
