About Onja
Onja trains underprivileged youth into world-class software developers. Our organisation is unified by a common mission: give life-changing work through sustainable social enterprise.
We are recognised for our innovative model that finds exceptional talent where opportunity is scarce, invests in its development, and connects it directly to the global tech economy. Through an intensive two-and-a-half-year program, we co-create pathways to long-term social and economic stability that prioritise self-reliance.
We operate as one integrated organisation, where education, hiring, and partner collaboration work together to deliver high-performing tech talent with lasting social impact. Onja developers invest in their own futures and in their nation’s development, while ensuring Onja remains self-funding and scalable, paying forward opportunities to the next generation.
Onja is in Toamasina, a lively city with beautiful beaches, nice restaurants, and with plenty to do and see. Toamasina is Madagascar’s second-largest city (population 300,000) yet is surrounded by plenty of natural beauty and even has a national park nearby.
About the role
Onja Analysts are at the core of our success and impact, allowing iterative improvements to key parts of our model to continuously increase our overall effectiveness and impact.
Your mission will be to analyse one or more parts of our organisation. Examples could be our student recruitment process, our English & software development courses, client attraction or hiring. Each of these is crucial and relates directly to our impact. From our successful first cohort of developers, we have a wealth of relevant data for analysis. You will be responsible for understanding the process, understanding the data, making key assumptions, applying statistical models to reveal strengths and areas for improvement, and reporting on your findings.
You will work very closely with the relevant team, and our Analytics Lead and will probably have support in data processing, or data collection if required. We tend to strive for simplicity in our analysis and closely document our work so that others can clearly understand what we did. So far, we mostly use Python for our analysis. Being a startup, the role is fairly broad, and often goes beyond analysis, to working on or leading others to work on systems/tools.
We also wish to shape our organisation and processes not only to be effective but also to constantly experiment and collect relevant data to constantly improve.
We believe in hiring based on potential, attitude, and cultural fit rather than specific qualifications.
