    Description

    We are a group of passionate individuals working together under one shared goal: to ensure that every cent spent to alleviate poverty has the greatest possible impact on the lives of the 2.4 billion men, women, and children afflicted by it.

    How you will make an impact

    Managers and Senior Associates at Instiglio are a core part of project teams, overseeing most aspects of project execution and team management in close collaboration with Project Leads.

    You will gain expertise in results-based approaches and deepen your consultancy skills, translating complex concepts into easy-to-understand insights.

    You will advise clients on difficult, yet important, adaptations of their practices and lead teammates to deliver impactful projects that enhance development outcomes across Africa.

    You will also play a leading role in growing the Nairobi office, from recruitment and capacity building to nurturing stakeholder relationships with both the donor community and government partners in East Africa that lead to project growth.

    Managers will also be asked to make wider contributions to Instiglio's global management and strategy as an integral part of the management team.


    Some of your tasks will include:

    Senior Associates are likely to act as project managers of 1-3 project workstreams (reporting to a Manager) or stand-alone projects (reporting to a Lead), while Managers are likely to oversee 3+ stand-alone projects at any given time.

    Leading and overseeing the development of technical components of RBF instruments and data-driven performance management systems.
    Leading the creation of proposals and client deliverables, articulating technical concepts in an eloquent and accessible manner.
    Managing project budgets and contracts with clients and subcontractors, anticipating issues, and proactively addressing them.
    Planning, delegating and overseeing tasks to effectively and efficiently achieve the best results within the team.
    Proposing, structuring, and overseeing data analyses to draw actionable insights/hypotheses.
    Preparing and delivering clear and effective presentations to stakeholders in the public and private sectors.
    Coordinating and motivating project teams and supporting team growth through coaching and mentorship within and outside of projects.
    Actively improving our RBF and Performance Management services and our delivery approaches.
