• Engage with policymakers and national agencies to ensure survey relevance and alignment with policy needs.
• Translate analytical findings into practical insights and policy-relevant recommendations.

Knowledge Management & Dissemination

• Synthesise findings into policy reports and briefs
• Support knowledge-sharing activities, including public briefings of survey results.

Requirements

• Degree or Master’s in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a related quantitative field.
• Proficiency in R; experience with SAS is advantageous as role involves working with SAS-based data pipelines.
• Strong grounding in quantitative research methods, especially survey design and analysis.
• Good analytical and writing skills, with the ability to translate statistical findings into policy-relevant insights.
• Ability to work collaboratively and engage effectively with diverse stakeholders.
• Prior experience in survey operations or quantitative research is an advantage.
