Description
Qualifications
  • Master’s degree in international public policy, economics, statistics, data science, social sciences, or a related field, with 5–7 years of relevant professional experience. Exceptional candidates who do not meet these criteria may be considered.
  • Strong proficiency in statistical and analytical software (e.g., Stata, R, or Python) for data cleaning, management, analysis, and visualisation.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and building dashboards and data visualisation tools using platforms such as Power BI or Tableau, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
  • Experience working with large and complex administrative datasets, including data integration, structuring, and analysis, and experience building or supporting automated data pipelines or reporting systems.
Responsibilities

Workplan Management and Reporting

  • Collaborate with the partner’s team to develop a shared work plan, ensuring alignment with project goals and effective implementation.

  • Support with other project management tasks, including progress tracking, financial oversight, and internal and donor reporting.

Stakeholder Management

  • Cultivate relationships with key local top-level decision-makers and ensure the project has their sustained buy-in and input.

  • Coordinate project activities alongside technical staff from the partner in a learning-by-doing approach, fostering active engagement throughout the process.

  • Promote engagement to raise awareness of the lab and encourage collaborative efforts for collective impact.

Generating Relevant Evidence

  • Lead the co-creation of a policy-driven research agenda for the regulatory partners, and guide the development of analytically rigorous research projects that generate actionable, data-driven insights.

  • Facilitate engagement with local and international academics and technical experts to strengthen our partners’ policy-driven research agendas, including advancing robust analytical methods and data use.

  • Identify and develop opportunities to leverage administrative and other large-scale datasets for policy-relevant research, including structuring data access, preparing datasets for analysis, and connecting local and international researchers to pursue these opportunities.
