Job Description

In our Measurement & Evaluation work, that means supporting public sector partners (government, philanthropy and non-profits) to understand what’s working and improve their programs. We work with leaders in the public sector (government, philanthropy, non-profits) to define their theory of change, build and operate systems for collecting the right data, and assess and evaluate programs to generate evidence that will drive greater impact in their work. As an Associate, you’ll contribute by cleaning and analyzing data, creating visuals, conducting research, and clearly communicating insights—all to generate evidence that drives greater impact.

Skill sets.

We work closely in diverse, global teams, leaning on each other’s strengths. We don’t expect any one person to do all these things perfectly. Our teams are made up of people who can:

• Collect, store, clean, transform and conduct quality checks to ensure data is accurate for analysis
• Analyze data to extract actionable insights and recommendations and visualize it for decision making.
• Model data to identify patterns and forecast future trends: Utilize advanced analytical and statistical techniques and tools to reveal relationships within datasets, enabling prediction of outcomes and informed decision-making
• Write, visualize and communicate clearly: Turn complex problems or insights into clear memos and well-structured slides; speak clearly and concisely in remote and in-person settings. Be able to simplify complexity, translating technical language into digestible narratives that enable great decision making of different audiences.   
• Work effectively on fast-moving projects: Bring clear structure and planning to day-to-day work and communication.
• Solve problems: Break down problems and identify root causes before developing hypotheses and solutions.
• Stay focused: Navigate complexity, especially in policy and program implementation, consistently steering large coalitions back to a single-minded focus on priority outcomes.

Mindsets.

We work well with people that are:

• Adaptable: Public sector work is dynamic. Our people are, too.
• Analytical: We identify, dissect, and solve complex problems.
• Accountable: We are a remote team. We work collaboratively but self-sufficiently; oversight is often minimal.
• Driven: Our work is important, so it’s important we do it well.
• Curious: We never stop learning from our clients, colleagues, and partners.

Experience.

Many of our people have backgrounds in management consulting, public sector implementation, government, philanthropy, non-profits, think tanks / policy research, and international development. Some come from startups and tech.

But we’ve done this long enough to know that what matters most is your skill set and your mindset. We’re open to lots of backgrounds as long as you can show us you’re an analytical thinker, a clear communicator, a team player, and an avid learner.

• Bachelor’s degree
