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 the 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:

• be an integral member of a team that is seen as a thought leader in the “Impact evaluation” space and influences it (from policy to practice) through a deep understanding of the practitioners’ perspective rather than an academic point of view
• work with the team on monitoring and evaluation frameworks (including Theory of Change) for each program including metrics and what is driving/hindering data collection
• support the team in evaluation (including third-party and multi-player evaluation). The focus will be deep understanding of the outcomes to generate insights to help refine/enhance the work on the ground
• supervise/conduct qualitative and quantitative primary and secondary research 
• 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

Apply if you have:

• a master’s or bachelor’s degree (focus on economics, developmental studies, public policy, or rural development is a plus)
• at least 2 years of experience in the development sector, combined with fieldwork experience in India
• strong analytical and synthesis skills; experience in collecting and processing large raw datasets to provide a basis for quality analysis
• working experience and expertise with data analysis applications: R, SPSS, STATA, Tableau, etc
• strong communication skills and a proven record of working well in teams
• comfort with non-profit sector salaries
• willingness to travel extensively on the field
• have a strong desire to make a difference and a passion for solving hard problems
• enjoy the challenge of working in a fast-paced, start-up environment

Would be great if you have:

• experience in working with data frameworks from international development organizations

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.
