Manager-Government Advisory

Shape policy.\nStrengthen systems. Improve millions of lives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>We\u2019re looking for a Manager who wants their work\nto matter far beyond presentations and reports.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>This is a role for someone who sits comfortably at\nthe intersection of policy, analytics, and public impact, someone who can move\nfrom evidence to insight, and from insight to action. You\u2019ll work on some of\nthe most important questions in development and government transformation:\nsocial protection, G2P systems, subsidies, inclusive development, digital\ngovernance, and public service delivery.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>In this role, you won\u2019t just study programs from a\ndistance. You\u2019ll help shape how governments and institutions think about\nwelfare, inclusion, and delivery at scale. One day you may be synthesising evidence on social protection reform; the next, designing analytical approaches\nfor a government program, developing strategic recommendations for a\ndevelopment partner, or crafting a compelling proposal for a new opportunity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>We\u2019re looking for someone with 7\u20138 years of\nexperience who brings both rigour and judgment, someone who can work with data,\nengage with stakeholders, write with clarity, and contribute to building ideas that\ninfluence real decisions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>You\u2019ll thrive here if you:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>\u2022 care deeply about public systems and inclusive\ngrowth<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>\u2022 enjoy turning research and analysis into\npractical recommendations<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>\u2022 can navigate both technical detail and\nstakeholder complexity<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>\u2022 want to contribute to work that is\nintellectually strong and socially meaningful<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>This is an opportunity to join a team working\nclosely with government departments, development partners, and policy leaders\nto strengthen programs that affect lives at scale.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>If you\u2019re excited by the idea of combining\neconomics, evidence, policy, and execution to drive public impact, this role is\nbuilt for you.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>
