Opportunity now closed: Senior Consultant - East Africa

We are looking for an ambitious and committed research professional to join our growing team. The role will be based in East Africa, where we have a growing portfolio of partnerships and projects. The appointed candidate will manage the delivery of the baseline of our newest project, a large-scale impact and process evaluation of a play-based education intervention in Ethiopia. They will also act as a senior qualitative and/or quantitative evaluator on that project and add technical and project management inputs to a diverse range of our other education evaluation and research projects.

Candidates will need strong quantitative, qualitative and/or mixed-method research skills, excellent project management abilities, strong knowledge and understanding of the issues facing education systems and schools in East Africa and other low- and middle-income contexts, and the ability to communicate findings in a clear and compelling way.

This role offers the opportunity to join our team at an exciting time. In our seventh year of operation and well into our second strategic period as an organisation, we are working on a number of high-profile, high-impact projects, are growing our portfolio in East Africa, and are intentionally growing and investing in our team to develop the next generation of highly specialised consultants.

We are offering this role initially as a three-year contract, with the opportunity to become a permanent member of the team.
