About The/Nudge:

The/Nudge is an action institute working towards a poverty-free India, within our lifetime. We partner with governments, markets, and civil society to build resilient livelihoods for all.  We are a collective of some of India’s best leaders and entrepreneurs from across industry, academia, government, and development sectors, and our work is organized across three impact streams:

• Centre for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (CSDE): enables underprivileged youth to lead flourishing lives
• Centre for Rural Development (CRD): enables rural families to come out of extreme poverty
• Centre for Social Innovation (CSI): nudges top talent to solve India’s biggest challenges

At The/Nudge you will:

• collaborate with the Centers and Programs to create, validate or refine their Impact strategy and Theory of Change
• define the monitoring and evaluation framework for each program including metrics and identify what is driving/hindering data collection
• drive evaluation (including third party and multi-player evaluation). The focus will be on deep understanding of the outcomes to generate insights to help refine/enhance the work on the ground. The team will involve external stakeholders to make this most effective
• create and periodically enhance quality core (macroeconomic, demographic) data depository that helps form the basis for program design and impact assessment for programs focused on livelihoods, rural development, etc
• support the wider organization in thinking through and integrating (where relevant and possible) cross-cutting areas like gender, empowerment, SDGs, etc
• be an integral member of a team that is seen as a thought leader in the “Impact Measurement & Management” space and influences it (from policy to practice) through a deep understanding of the practitioners’ perspective rather than from an academic point of view

Apply if you have:

• a master’s or bachelor’s degree (focus on developmental studies, public policy, or rural development is an advantage)
• up to 5 years of experience in the development sector, ideally combined with 1-3 years of fieldwork experience in India or other developing countries
• strong analytical and synthesis skills –  experience in collecting and processing large raw datasets to provide a basis for quality analysis. Prior experience in working with data frameworks given by international & national organizations is an advantage
• working experience and expertise with data analysis applications: R, SPSS, STATA,  Tableau etc
• the ability to apply the knowledge of theoretical frameworks to practical situations
• strong communication skills and proven record of working well in teams
• the desire to work in a fast-paced, start-up environment
• a strong desire to make a difference and are passionate about solving problems

We aspire to be an inclusive and diverse organization and encourage qualified individuals irrespective of their religion, caste, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, or any other dimension of identity, to apply.
