The Role
This role owns the evidence base behind NKF's programs - building the data infrastructure, research studies, and impact measurement that show what our work actually achieves for patients and the health system. It also serves as the central point for all research activity flowing through NKF - managing research grants disbursed by the organization, overseeing proposal review and selection, and coordinating research going in and out of NKF,
whether internal, external, or cross-departmental.
You'll lead a small team and work closely with the Advocacy & Policy function, producing the research and data that fuels NKF's policy voice.
We're hiring at Manager or Assistant Manager level depending on experience, with a path to grow into the senior role.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Lead the development of NKF's organisational data and research strategy to strengthen evidence informed decision-making across the organisation.
• Design and continuously improve monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) frameworks that measure the effectiveness and long-term impact of NKF's programmes.
• Build robust data systems and reporting processes across NKF's nationwide network of dialysis centres, community screening programmes, patient support services, and education initiatives.
• Lead or collaborate on research relating to chronic kidney disease, dialysis, transplantation, prevention,
health services, behavioural interventions, implementation science, and population health.
• Develop publications, technical reports, conference presentations, donor reports, board papers, and
evidence summaries for a range of audiences.
• Build research collaborations with universities, healthcare institutions, government agencies, and other partners to advance kidney health research in Malaysia.
• Manage NKF's research grant portfolio, including proposal review, selection, funding, governance, and
monitoring of funded studies.
• Coordinate research conducted within or involving NKF, ensuring appropriate scientific review, ethical
governance, organisational alignment, and collaboration across departments.
• Coach programme teams and regional leaders in good data collection, evaluation practices, and evidenceinformed programme improvement.
• Lead and develop a small Data & Research team
What We’re Looking For
• Master’s or PhD in Epidemiology, Public Health, Biostatistics, Health Sciences, Data Science, Health
Economics, Statistics, Social Sciences, or a related discipline.
• Manager: At least 3 years of relevant research/data experience.
• Assistant Manager: 1-2 years of relevant research/data experience.
• Experience in health research, epidemiology, monitoring and evaluation, implementation science, health services research, programme evaluation, or applied analytics.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills with experience managing, cleaning, analysing, and interpreting complex datasets.
• Proficiency in Excel is essential. Experience with statistical software such as R, SPSS or similar analytical tools will be an advantage.
• Experience designing evaluation frameworks or applying approaches such as Theory of Change, Social Return on Investment (SROI), cost-effectiveness analysis, or other impact evaluation methodologies is desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate technical findings to non-technical audiences through reports, presentations, visualisations, and strategic recommendations.
• Experience publishing research, presenting at scientific conferences, securing grants, or managing research funding will be highly regarded.
• Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work across
multidisciplinary teams.
• Team leadership, mentoring and/or supervisory experience is preferred for Manager-level applicants
