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:

• 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
• have a deep understanding of the evaluation space and its evolution over time – from methodologies used and the practical aspects of executing them in the Indian context to more
• importantly understanding what to measure to understand the impact and what is driving/impeding it
• build strong relationships with key stakeholders including other operating organizations, funders, M&E organizations, and organizations doing field data collection (traditional and new) that are interested/working in the evaluation and impact measurement space

Apply if you have:

• at least 6 years of work experience, ideally with more than 3 years of evaluation experience in India or other developing countries (across rural/urban livelihoods, education, health, environment)
