Uganda Christian University
Job title: Social Work & Social Admin Job Code: HR033
Employment type: Full time
Country: Tanzania

University Overview
Uganda Christian University was founded when the historic Bishop
Tucker Theological College was promoted as a university in 1997.
Bishop Tucker Theological College trained clergy and educators during
its 84-year history from 1913-1997. The local chief, Hamu Mukasa,
granted land for the college to operate in Mukono.
International partnerships were part of the College’s missionary
history. The Church Mission Society teamed with Ugandan leaders and

In 2004, the Government of Uganda granted a charter to Uganda Christian University – the highest level of national accreditation. UCU was the first private University to receive such a charter from the Government.

Brief Background of UCU
Uganda Christian University was founded when the historic Bishop Tucker Theological College was promoted as a university in 1997. Bishop Tucker Theological College trained clergy and educators during its 84-year history from 1913-1997. The local chief, Hamu Mukasa, granted land for the college to operate in Mukono.
International partnerships were part of the College’s missionary history. The Church Mission Society teamed with Ugandan leaders and others to assure the College had the necessary intellectual and other capital.
By the late 1990s, the Church of Uganda sought to have a broader impact on society through the higher education - not only of clergy but of other professionals as well. Uganda Christian University was established in 1997.
In 2004, the Government of Uganda granted a charter to Uganda Christian University – the highest level of national accreditation. UCU was the first private University to receive such a charter from the Government.

Our
Client GirlHub Rwanda needs a world class new Insights Manager for Girl
Hub Rwanda. A clear thinker with a background in changing behaviour
through branded communications. Someone that wants to be part of an
initiative that is new, growing and that we think will change the world.
Working closely across all functions within Girl Hub Rwanda, the Insights Manager informs the varied expressions of the Girl Effect in Rwanda - in programming and social communication initiatives, especially focusing on the first teen brand in the country - Ni Nyampinga.
The main role of the Insights Manager is to be the voice of adolescent (10-19) girls in Rwanda - identifying her needs and emotions - through fieldwork and assimilating the data that exists in the country, as well as starting new initiatives that are required to this end. This is a critical part of the organisation's brand work and helps the Brand Team get to creative work that emotionally resonates with girls.
The Insights Manager needs to be able to process and assimilate a large amount of information from different sources, and convert them into focussed presentations, and strategic and creative briefs that unite the broad variety of skills in the functional teams.
The Insights Manager will have skills in the following: creative brand strategy, behaviour change and social communications strategy, qualitative research facilitation and design, and the ability to navigate some rather heavy research tomes. We need critical analysis and thinking with excellent copy-writing skills to make insights accessible to diverse audiences.
As part of this managerial role it's expected that the Insights Manager builds local capacity in the form of their local Associate Brand Manager and across the team at GHR. Working closely with the Monitoring and Learning team will be important to help them design research in a way that is useful to this unique blend of brand-led development. Making this accessible and actionable for other teams, in particular the Brand Team, is vitally important.
Key Skills and Qualities:
Creative brief writing
Problem solver
Creative thinker
Strong communication skills – verbal and written
Interest in human psychology and behaviour (the ‘why’ rather than the ‘what’)
Excellent research, analysis and presentation skills
Cultural sensitivity
Strong attention to detail
Curious and perceptive
Required experience: 5-8 years experience as a creative strategist with strong qualitative and some quantative experience, ideally experience of youth products
The Key Duties and Responsibilities
• Line manage, provide training and support for Girl Hub Rwanda’s Associate Insight Manager and Consultants employed to support the Insights Function
• Production of high calibre insight presentations on the four GHR country goals and on the topics required supporting the production of content for Ni Nyampinga’s brand platforms.
• Work closely with the Insight Managers and teams across our other Girl Hub Offices to share learning, best practise, and avoid duplication.
• Support the M+L team in the planning process for research in order to ensure that Girl Hub Rwanda collects the types of evidence and data required in order to produce insight and strategy to guide our programming work, brand content and catalyse better programming for girls.
• Support the development of process documentation; ensure Girl Hub Rwanda records the process of insight, opportunities for innovation and learning in respect to each of its initiatives
• Maintain a good database of insight (qualitative and quantitative) and ensure that these are circulated and freely accessible to Girl Hub, Nike Foundation, and our partners.
• Advise on how the insight team can practically inform and develop the evolution of the Girl Hub Rwanda as a learning organisation
Key Working Relationships:
Brand Manager (Director and Creative Director)
M+L Team (esp. Senior Manager)
Girl Centred Strategy and Practise Team
Country Director
N.B. Although the key working relationships are defined as above the successful candidate will be expected to work to foster a culture of insight gathering and learning across all team members in GHR.
