Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Office (J-PAL LAC) seeks applications for the position of Training Manager. The Training manager will work on the organization and execution of training programs for Research staff of J-PAL and our partner organizations in the region. In addition, he or she develops and implements Executive Education courses, building the capacity of policy makers to understand the finding from J-PAL efforts. Responsibilities include:
• Coordinate J-PAL’s various executive education courses in the region including recruitment of applicants, prioritizing applicants, recruiting faculty and teaching assistants, and all other logistics.
• Coordinate capacity-building partnerships and training workshops with institutional partners, including liaising with counterparts within other organizations.
• Prepare grant proposals to fund J-PAL’s training and capacity-building programs and grant reports for all training and capacity-building grants.

• Liaise with Director of Training at J-PAL Global Headquarters and Directors at other regional offices.
Qualifications
• Education: This position is for people with a bachelor’s degree (preferably in economics) with a strong preference for candidates with a master’s degree (in economics, public policy or international development) and significant training in economics, as a strong technical understanding of economics is necessary to ensure that J-PAL’s findings are translated into general policy conclusions in a way that is both simple to follow but also accurate and undistorted. Strong interest in international development policy as demonstrated by coursework and/or study or work abroad is a plus.
• Experience: This position requires 2 or more years of relevant experience (a year in a relevant master’s program counts as a year of experience)
• Communication: Attention to detail and advanced writing and presentation skills for communicating policy lessons from academic papers in ways that policymakers understand. This requires clear, precise, non-technical writing, and creativity in presentation.
