We are particularly interested in people with experience in:

• program and policy evaluations of both formative and outcomes nature
• evaluation strategy and framework design through to the completion of evaluations themselves

• qualitative, quantitative or mixed-method research
• economic, statistical or data analysis to inform evaluations and impact analysis

Your experience may be in consulting, research, audit and evaluation, academia, taskforces or policy environments.

Applicants do not need to be specialists in every evaluation method. We welcome candidates who combine analytical rigour with strong problem-solving, stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
