This role is a senior contributor to our data and evaluation function. Working with our project managers you will design and conduct evaluations of behavioural interventions to establish causality and provide actionable insights.

- Conducting advanced technical research tasks, including power calculations, coding for statistical analysis, cleaning collected data, randomisation, modelling, and trial analyses
- Establishing, adhering to, and improving rigorous research and evaluation protocols to ensure our approach is ethical, our results are robust, and our work puts people first
- Designing and deliveringf behavioural evaluations, including selecting appropriate methodologies (eg RCTs, quasi-experiment designs, A/B testing), and preparing theories of change and logic models during project design
- Identifying measurement, data collection and analysis challenges and working with data partners in government to ensure the research instruments you build generate reliable evidence
- Bringing data to life by creating compelling, share-worthy visualizations, data reports or stories that will be shared with team members, agencies, decision makers, or the public
- Nurturing an environment where all our team members recognise and reward curiosity, innovation, mistakes and shared learning.
