Amartya S.
Project & Operations Manager | Program Coordination | Research & Data
Complex projects rarely fail because people lack ideas. They fail because ideas aren't translated into clear actions, ownership, timelines, and follow-through. That's where I come in. I help organizations turn complex projects, research, and strategic ideas into structured execution, clear documentation, and measurable results. Project & Operations Manager with 8+ years of experience across NGOs, global health, research, data, and international projects. I currently serve as Global Health Lead at Our AIM Foundation, where I coordinate healthcare and WASH programs across Malawi and South Asia, working with local teams, government stakeholders, donors, and international partners. My work involves much more than project administration. I regularly: 1. Translate strategic ideas into project plans, timelines, and actionable workflows 2. Coordinate teams, partners, consultants and external stakeholders 3. Track deliverables, dependencies, budgets and deadlines 4. Prepare donor reports, proposals, project briefs and executive documents 5. Build reporting, M&E and data-collection systems 6. Analyse operational and program data and turn it into actionable insights 7. Organize research, documentation and knowledge systems 8. Identify risks, follow up on outstanding actions, and keep projects moving Selected experience • Managed mobile healthcare programs across 15+ rural communities in Malawi • Coordinated WASH infrastructure projects including 30+ borewell initiatives • Led development and reporting for donor-supported programs involving BWA, JDC, WHO and other partners • Coordinated the development of an HIV Testing Services facility, including assessment, procurement planning, training and implementation • Developed standardized M&E/reporting systems and improved program data workflows • Worked across research, data analysis, medical documentation, content, and international consulting projects I am a Certified Project Management Specialist (CPMS) with a background in Computer Science & Engineering and extensive experience working with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Excel, research tools, and AI-assisted workflows. I am particularly effective when a project is still evolving and someone needs to bring structure to it - creating the tracker, organizing the documents, coordinating stakeholders, identifying what is missing, and making sure the next action actually happens. If you need someone who can work independently, communicate clearly, and take ownership of the operational details behind a project, I would be happy to discuss your requirements.
