Our enterprise-sized volunteer organization is seeking a skilled freelancer to develop a centralized data platform that will revolutionize how we engage and manage our volunteers. By leveraging real-time analytics and data mesh architectures, this platform aims to provide deep insights into volunteer activities, preferences, and impact, enhancing our ability to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively.

📋Project Details

As a leading organization in the volunteer sector, we manage thousands of volunteers across various programs and initiatives worldwide. However, our current data infrastructure lacks the agility and insight needed to optimize volunteer engagement and program effectiveness. We are looking for a data engineer to build a state-of-the-art centralized data platform. The platform will integrate real-time analytics using Apache Kafka and Spark for event streaming and processing. By employing a data mesh architecture, the solution will ensure scalable and domain-oriented data processing, while dbt will facilitate robust data transformations. Integration with cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery will support comprehensive data storage and query capabilities. Additionally, the solution will incorporate data observability practices to ensure data quality and reliability. The ultimate goal is to enable more impactful volunteer programs by providing managers with actionable insights into volunteer contributions, preferences, and outcomes.

Requirements

  • Experience with real-time data processing and event streaming
  • Proficiency in data engineering tools and cloud data warehouses
  • Knowledge of data mesh architecture principles
  • Ability to implement data observability practices
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

🛠️Skills Required

📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Volunteer managers and program coordinators seeking insights into volunteer engagement and program impact.

⚠️Problem Statement

Our organization struggles with fragmented data silos and lack of real-time insights, hindering our ability to effectively engage volunteers and optimize program outcomes.

💰Payment Readiness

Market demand for such solutions is driven by the need to enhance volunteer engagement, optimize resource allocation, and demonstrate program impact to stakeholders.

🚨Consequences

Without a robust data platform, the organization risks inefficient use of resources, reduced volunteer satisfaction, and limited program impact visibility, potentially leading to decreased volunteer retention and support.

🔍Market Alternatives

Current alternatives include manual data collection and fragmented legacy systems, which are time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to missed opportunities for strategic decision-making.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our platform will uniquely offer true real-time insights and domain-oriented data processing capabilities, tailored specifically for the volunteer sector, setting us apart from generic data solutions.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

We will leverage existing partnerships with non-profit networks and participate in industry conferences to demonstrate the platform's capabilities, targeting volunteer managers and program coordinators directly.
