IPA brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate, and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor.

We are recruiting suitable candidates to fill the position below:

Job Title: (Associate) Director, Right-Fit Evidence

Location: Nigeria
Employment Type: Full-time
Reports to: Senior Director, Right-Fit Evidence

Job Summary

  • We are seeking an (Associate) Director to develop and oversee the delivery of a portfolio of evidence- and learning-related advisory services. 
  • Overseeing delivery of our services, you will inspire the effective use of evidence for learning for a diverse set of funders, implementing organisations, and government agencies that work across many sectors in development and humanitarian contexts around the world. 
  • You will help organizations transform data into meaningful insights that drive development impact. 
  • You will lead teams in designing actionable learning strategies, developing research and testing methods, and building evidence-based decision-making processes that connect data to real-world outcomes. 
  • You will also be a member of the RFE global leadership team and contribute to its strategic development. 
  • As an (Associate) Director, you will primarily report to the Senior Director of RFE, but will also work closely with the other 3-4 RFE (Associate-) Directors and many members of the team across our various advisory engagements. 

Responsibilities
Lead the delivery of a portfolio of advisory engagements (65-75%):

  • As a senior point of contact for a wide range of clients, including implementers, funders, and government agencies, you will lead multiple project teams to develop tailor-made solutions for their evidence, learning and M&E needs, and support their implementation.
  • As an (Associate) Director, you will be leading, at any moment, several engagements (e.g., 4-6, likely more if hired at the Director level), some of which may be large and complex, and you will have a high level of or complete autonomy in their delivery.
  • You will likely work across multiple sectors, including education, technology, agriculture, and livelihoods, among others.
  • Depending on your sector expertise and/or interest, we will leverage our staffing flexibility to have you engage with opportunities that match your skills and interest to the extent possible.

Specific responsibilities may include:

  • Overseeing various types of external evidence-, learning-, and M&E-related workshops, such as theory of change and learning plan development, and of other written advisory deliverables;
  • Providing technical assistance to implement learning plans, MEL systems, and to support internal data insights, analytics, and evidence use capability strengthening;
  • Leading implementer communities of practice, in collaboration with funders;
  • Providing support to a wide array of funders, from high net worth individuals to major global foundations and bilateral aid agencies, on issues such as internal learning systems, initiative design, grantmaking processes, and grant implementation;
  • Occasionally leading the design, analysis and write up of various kinds of evaluations and other studies; and
  • Advising and supporting IPA policy and country office teams worldwide on their own technical assistance engagements, often with government partners.
  • Providing performance management to multiple Managers (including Senior Managers if hired at the Director level), and possibly Advisors, working on various engagements, and support their professional development.

Contribute to new business development and external relationship management (15-20%):
As a leader in RFE, you will have the opportunity to create an exciting lineup of new engagements, providing valuable services to our clients and expanding our impact on MEL practices in development and humanitarian sectors. You will:

  • Lead the development of a portfolio of new potential engagements, both self-initiated and assigned, often in collaboration with other IPA teams (e.g., sectors, policy, country offices);
  • Interface with active or potential funders, occasionally representing RFE, and more broadly IPA, in conferences and other events; and
  • Provide significant contributions to RFE thought leadership and global influence through production and dissemination of public goods

Contribute to RFE’s leadership and development (10-15%):
As a member of RFE’s global leadership team, you will be part of driving the growth and development of a dynamic, diverse team of approximately 35 staff based in over ten countries around the world. You will:

  • Take a proactive role in the innovation and implementation of various products and services;
  • Lead at least one stream of RFE’s annual strategic plan (with specific assignments based on skills and interest) and larger scope if hired at the director level);
  • Strengthen internal management systems; and
  • Encourage a positive work environment rooted in IPA values, well-being, and sustainability.
  • Particularly if hired at the Director level, you will provide expertise and mentorship to the team in one or more specific areas (e.g., sector, methodology, MEL for systems change, etc.) and possibly assume Senior Director responsibilities during absences.
