AI and Impact Intelligence Specialist

Number of Openings: One (1)

Background/Context

The For Youth, By Youth (FYBY) movement is a youth-led initiative aimed at empowering young leaders to drive community, institutional, and societal transformation. Funded by the Mastercard Foundation, FYBY leverages the networks of the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities—a coalition dedicated to strengthening the civic roles of higher education institutions—paNhari, an organization that supports youth development and leadership, and the Next Generation Leaders (NGL) Alumni, a group of experienced youth leaders who actively contribute their insights and expertise to strengthen FYBY’s impact. Together, these critical stakeholders are building a collaborative environment where diverse voices worldwide engage in addressing urgent challenges through leadership, wellness, ethical AI, and participatory action research.

About the Role

The AI and Impact Intelligence Specialist will drive the implementation of the AI-enhanced tracking and evaluation system within the For Youth, By Youth (FYBY) movement. This role is central to ensuring that FYBY’s outcomes are measured effectively through data-driven insights, supporting participants’ development, and guiding program strategy. This role requires familiarity with AI systems for monitoring and evaluation, data privacy, and security protocols.

This role will be directly contracted and supervised by the paNhari team and involves close collaboration with the Talloires Network secretariat staff to ensure alignment with Mastercard Foundation values, emphasizing accessibility, inclusivity, and adaptability to meet evolving program needs.

As FYBY progresses, there may be adjustments in roles and responsibilities to meet the evolving needs of the program. Flexibility and adaptability are essential as we work together to uphold the FYBY mission and cultivate strong, impactful partnerships.

Timeline and LOE

The AI and Impact Intelligence Specialist role will span the full duration of the FYBY program phases. An estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of approximately 2 days (16 hours) per week is required, with increased time (up to 3 days, or 24 hours, per week) expected during the setup of the AI tracking and evaluation system and at key reporting periods.

Note: A “day” is considered an 8-hour workday.
