The role combines two interconnected dimensions of reporting. The first focuses on developing the internal systems needed to collect information across HxN, including reporting frameworks, forms, timelines, and processes that enable different areas to consistently document their work and contributions in a timely manner. The second focuses on transforming this information into institutional reports and accountability documents for external organizations, international institutions, and strategic networks. Beyond collecting data, the team plays an important role in telling the story of HxN. Our reports should reflect the organization’s history, evolution, and impact as an interconnected whole rather than relying on generic descriptions or isolated figures.

The key responsibilities of this role are as follows: The Reports Specialist will design and improve internal reporting frameworks, forms, and processes to ensure that HxN teams document and submit relevant information consistently and on time. The role will coordinate the collection and organization of data, evidence, and sources across departments, contributing to History & Impact Reports that communicate HxN’s evolution, work, and impact through a coherent and meaningful narrative. The Specialist will also support the preparation of institutional reports and accountability documents for international organizations and networks, including the United Nations Global Compact, contributing to the Communication on Engagement (CoE) and Communication on Progress (CoP). The role combines research, storytelling, analysis, and cross-area coordination to strengthen HxN’s reporting practices and institutional documentation.
