What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead project monitoring and operational planning, build MEL frameworks, and deliver high-quality donor-compliant reporting—collaborating with multi-stakeholder teams and using my bilingual policy and documentation strengths.

I lead the full project cycle as an Analysis & Process Monitoring Coordinator (Project Coordinator), turning strategic plans into measurable delivery through performance indicator systems, results matrices, and MEL frameworks. I manage Annual Operational Plan (POA) and Annual Procurement and Contracting Plan (PACC) processes to keep physical-financial execution aligned with donor requirements, approved budgets, and timelines. I proactively identify risks and bottlenecks and adjust workplans to protect delivery and compliance.

I also drive multi-stakeholder coordination, launching transparency initiatives, supporting civil society and academic partnerships, and producing technical policy and donor deliverables in Spanish and English with strict quality assurance. My background blends operational planning with HR administration and recruitment, which strengthens how I organize documentation, run capacity-building events, and support teams in high-deadline, remote-friendly environments.
