Senior Advisor - Impact and Evidence

Save the Children is an organisation which is growing in impact and visibility and the next three years are critical in the organisations growth trajectory. In 3 years time we want to have dramatically scaled up and improved the quality of our programmes, saving millions more children’s lives and helping them fulfil their potential at home and abroad. We will be globally known for our world class programmes, and we will spread innovation and best practice through evidence based research to impact hundreds of millions of children. We will be the major player in the world saving and protecting children in emergencies. We will partner with other major players to increase our reach, impact and influence and raise significantly more funds.

To achieve this vision, Save the Children needs to scale up and improve the quality of its work by harnessing innovation and ensuring maximum impact. This is a new role in the Impact, Innovation and Evidence team to improve the quality of data and our analytical rigour.

We are looking for an analytical thinker, with solid statistical and quantitative skills, experience of applied research and an understanding of a range of methods for monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment to promote evidence-based learning. You will bring your expertise in the use of rigorous quality evidence for learning and improving policy, practice and programming, as well as in the principles of rights-based approaches as the cornerstone of our work. You will apply your experience of working with non-traditional partners, including those from academic and research institutions, to ensure we have the agility to lead the way in an ever-changing global environment.
