Shape policy. Strengthen systems. Improve millions of lives.
We’re looking for a Manager who wants their work to matter far beyond presentations and reports.
This is a role for someone who sits comfortably at the intersection of policy, analytics, and public impact, someone who can move from evidence to insight, and from insight to action. You’ll work on some of the most important questions in development and government transformation: social protection, G2P systems, subsidies, inclusive development, digital governance, and public service delivery.
In this role, you won’t just study programs from a distance. You’ll help shape how governments and institutions think about welfare, inclusion, and delivery at scale. One day you may be synthesising evidence on social protection reform; the next, designing analytical approaches for a government program, developing strategic recommendations for a development partner, or crafting a compelling proposal for a new opportunity.
We’re looking for someone with 7–8 years of experience who brings both rigour and judgment, someone who can work with data, engage with stakeholders, write with clarity, and contribute to building ideas that influence real decisions.
You’ll thrive here if you:
• care deeply about public systems and inclusive growth
• enjoy turning research and analysis into practical recommendations
• can navigate both technical detail and stakeholder complexity
• want to contribute to work that is intellectually strong and socially meaningful
This is an opportunity to join a team working closely with government departments, development partners, and policy leaders to strengthen programs that affect lives at scale.
If you’re excited by the idea of combining economics, evidence, policy, and execution to drive public impact, this role is built for you.

• Support and execute high-quality projects in the areas of social protection, digital governance, government subsidies, G2P programs, public policy, government programs, and inclusive development.
  
• Conduct policy research, sectoral analysis, and evidence synthesis to inform strategic recommendations and client deliverables.
  
•  Undertake quantitative and qualitative analysis, including the use of economics and econometrics-based approaches where relevant.
  
•  Develop high-quality written outputs such as reports, policy notes, presentations, concept notes, briefing papers, and knowledge products.
  
• Work closely with government stakeholders, development partners, and internal teams in the execution of assignments.
  
•  Support business development activities through opportunity identification, proposal drafting, concept note development, and sector scanning.
  
• Contribute to knowledge building, published writing, and internal thought leadership in relevant thematic areas.
