Do you want to strengthen the private sector’s contribution to international development?
ODI is looking for a senior researcher to join the Private Sector and Markets Programme.
The Private Sector and Markets programme at ODI undertakes cutting-edge research on the role of the private sector in development, with three main workstreams focusing on:

  • policies and interventions to promote private-sector development.
We are looking for a researcher to take leadership on key projects within our portfolio, undertaking innovative research and analysis, and influencing the international debate through public affairs activities including publications, media engagement, speaking at conferences, and providing advice to governments and business at a senior level.  The postholder will also have the opportunity to develop their own research interests within the team’s broad areas of focus, including designing research projects, obtaining funding and managing resources for delivery.
The successful candidate will have:
