The MERL & Knowledge Management (KM) Officer is a field-based position serving as the focal point for monitoring, evaluation, research, and knowledge management activities under the Pencerah Nusantara program at the sub-district cluster level in Kendal District.
The Officer works closely with health facilities and communities, conducting regular field visits to collect and verify program data, develop observation-based field notes, identify implementation challenges and promising practices, and translate field findings into actionable insights that inform continuous program improvement.
The role encompasses four integrated functions: routine monitoring and data reporting, implementation research and learning, program documentation and knowledge management, and dissemination of findings to project teams and local stakeholders. These functions are mutually reinforcing—high-quality data generates meaningful learning, while well-documented lessons support evidence-informed program implementation and decision-making.
The ideal candidate is systematic, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with both quantitative and qualitative data. They should possess strong analytical and writing skills, enabling them to synthesize field findings into clear, practical, and user-friendly outputs for program teams and stakeholders.

- Bachelor's degree in Public Health, Statistics, Epidemiology, Sociology, Social Sciences, or another relevant discipline.
- Minimum of 2 years of experience in program monitoring, data management, field research, implementation learning, or knowledge management.

- Strong organizational skills with a high level of accuracy, attention to detail, and commitment to data quality and documentation.
- Excellent coordination and interpersonal communication skills for working with internal teams and field stakeholders.
