    Summary


    We are seeking an ambitious Director of Research, Learning and Impact to impeccably manage and implement our fast-growing research portfolio and partnerships; institute best-in-class data systems for program monitoring and quality outcomes; and to support translation of research into policy and action.

    Develop and manage the capacity of the Research & Learning team to execute projects that are high quality, impeccably organized, fit within budget and scope, and are completed in time.

    Lead research, learning and evaluation study design and deployment

    Design studies and provide technical expertise to ensure rigorous methodologies are undertaken for new research studies and program evaluations, ranging from RCTs and quasi-experimental designs to implementation science and qualitative data collection.

    Provide technical oversight - this includes ensuring programs are implemented with fidelity to the research design, strategic decision-making, as well as analyzing large datasets and generating policy-relevant recommendations.

    Implement a high-quality and dynamic monitoring, evaluation and learning system

    Innovate and build efficiencies across the reporting system across the organization to improve linkage between performance management dashboards, targets, and data visualization.

    Be an effective collaborator for partnership, advocacy, and fundraising

    Develop and manage the strong network of academic, government, and implementing partner relationships to ensure a healthy and productive collaborative atmosphere.

    Create, publish, and disseminate research and policy products to drive the organization's role as a thought leader in the global health community and with relevant external stakeholders.

    Respond to relevant RFPs, communicate with donors, and provide thought leadership as a technical lead on research and M&E content for high-quality proposals and budgets.

    Drive the development of high-quality program reports and analytics to support grant reporting and communication and advocacy efforts, effectively translating to a non-technical audience.
