    Full time
    Description
    Evidence Action scales proven interventions that improve the lives of millions. We only implement cost-effective programs whose efficacy is backed by substantial rigorous evidence. We identify innovative, appropriate financing mechanisms and build best-practice operational models.


    Key Responsibilities:

    Guide the development and design of Evidence Action's next programs through detailed desk-based research to assess the evidence base, total addressable market, cost-effectiveness, implementation feasibility, and strategic fit of promising interventions.

    Stay abreast of research trends and recent publications in the sector; interpret large quantities of evidence to inform program decision-making.

    Interpret and implement statistical/epidemiological models to understand the potential impacts of our programming.

    Work with the cost-effectiveness team and our Monitoring, Learning, and Evaluation staff to design, and continuously refine cost-effectiveness models, monitoring frameworks, theories of change, and program evaluations.

    Design and consult on early-stage field activities, program scoping, and piloting of new programs in select countries. Use the results from these activities to inform the design of program implementation.

    Conduct stakeholder outreach (study authors, implementing organizations, donors) to solicit feedback on new programs, their design, key gaps, and whether there is interest in collaborating with Evidence Action.

    Develop and nurture mutually beneficial relationships with partner organizations (e.g., implementing organizations, government officials, academic researchers).
    Independently lead high-stakes meetings with donors and government officials; present the business case for potential new programs.

    Requirements

    Highly literate in interpreting and analyzing research, especially study design.

    Experience with reviewing academic literature, performing cost-effectiveness analyses, and synthesizing large quantities of evidence and data for decision making in program design and implementation.
