@samanthawright
Project Officer and data-focused professional driving impact through project management and analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a Project Officer with a Master’s degree in International Politics and Economics and two years' experience managing EU-funded projects within non-profit European networks focused on public affairs and local governance. I combine project coordination with strong data skills—data collection, database management, KPI tracking, AI training and reporting—to ensure robust impact measurement and high-quality implementation.
I have coordinated large project proposals (€400,000+), managed EACEA administrative grants, and delivered seamless local and international events while supporting partner and membership relationships. My background includes digital marketing, SEO, content production, and multilingual communications across remote, multicultural teams.
I am highly proactive, reliable, and professional. I am currently developing advanced data analysis capabilities (Excel, SQL, Tableau, Python) to strengthen monitoring, evaluation and learning in project management roles.
