Development Initiatives (DI) is a global organisation that applies the power of data and evidence to build sustainable solutions that create an equitable and resilient world.

We work closely with partners at global, regional, national and local levels to ensure data driven evidence and analysis are used effectively in policy and practice to end poverty, reduce inequality and increase resilience.

We deliver trusted and actionable insights for decision-makers and partners based on what available data can tell us. We increase data use by growing people’s skills, expertise and confidence in data and showing how data can drive better outcomes. And we improve what data is available by helping others to collect, share, manage and use data responsibly and effectively

We have an exciting opportunity for an Analyst to join our Research & Analysis team, providing rigorous analysis and evidence to support and inform Development Initiatives’ (DI)’s work on enhancing the use, usability and understanding of data, as well as our work on nutrition, food security and poverty.

Duties Include:

• Develop the organisation’s work through quantitative and qualitative research on key areas, including nutrition, based on an understanding of the various international and regional actors involved in their funding and delivery.
• Contribute to wider thematic work and consultancy projects as required through analytical inputs.
• Conduct quantitative and qualitative data analysis according to an established methodology

We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of quantitative research techniques and the ability to conduct high-quality research and analysis independently. You must have advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel to manage and analyse data, and the ideal candidate will have the ability to develop new ways of analysing and visualising data.

You will be educated to degree level, with substantive focus on quantitative research methods, and at least two years’ work experience in an analytical capacity.

We are seeking a candidate with a strong interest in the political economy of international development, including key issues and players. Prior understanding of and interest in nutrition data and the Global Nutrition Report would be an advantage.
