In parallel, you will oversee the end-to-end delivery of primary research and programme evaluation initiatives, including study design, methodological guidance, oversight of data collection and analysis, and the translation of findings into clear, actionable insights for senior decision-makers. This includes advising stakeholders on appropriate evaluation approaches, analytical techniques, and the interpretation of quantitative and qualitative findings.
Requirements

Strong team leadership and management experience is essential. You should be comfortable hiring, developing, and leading multidisciplinary teams.
A post-graduate qualification in a relevant field such as data science, statistics, economics, public health, social research, or a related discipline is required, with a doctoral degree or equivalent research experience strongly preferred.
