at ALN Consultores

🏢 About ALN Consultores

Propuesta Dale, an organization under ALN Consultores, is a third-sector entity dedicated to improving literacy education in vulnerable communities. Their unique focus on teaching reading and writing to underserved populations makes this role particularly meaningful for those passionate about educational equity.

About This Role

As an Asistente de Monitoreo, you will process both quantitative and qualitative data to track the effectiveness of educational programs. By designing Google Forms, maintaining databases, and creating Power BI reports, you'll directly support data-driven decision-making that enhances learning outcomes for vulnerable students.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing incoming data from school partners, cleaning it in Excel, and updating a Power BI dashboard. You'd then design a new Google Form for a program evaluation, use ChatGPT to draft analysis notes, and collaborate with the team to validate indicators for the monthly report.

🎯 Who ALN Consultores Is Looking For

  • A social sciences graduate with strong data analysis skills, comfortable handling both numbers and narratives.
  • Proficient in advanced Excel and experienced with AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for data processing tasks.
  • Familiarity with Power BI and a background in education (even volunteer work) is highly valued.
  • Organized and analytical, with a keen eye for validating indicators and documenting processes.

4

Include examples of using AI tools like ChatGPT to automate or improve data analysis workflows.

5

Tailor your cover letter to express genuine interest in literacy education and community impact, not just data roles.
