CARE, a global humanitarian and development organization, is hiring a Senior Director of Impact Evaluation and Strategic Learning to lead a transformation in how CARE uses evidence to drive impact. This is a new position at CARE to champion a bold agenda: embedding rigorous, actionable evidence and cost-effectiveness analysis into every layer of CARE’s strategy and program design.
Qualifications
- PhD in Development Economics, Public Policy, Statistics or related field; or a Master's with significant, demonstrated track record as a Principal Investigator on large-scale, complex impact evaluations
- Demonstrated track record working with the private sector, government actors in countries where CARE has presence, or other scaling stakeholders who must buy into evidence before it will be broadly scaled.
- At least 10 years of professional experience with increasing levels of responsibility in monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning or development organization performance assessment.
- At least 7 years of successful management and team leadership experience, with a demonstrated ability to build and lead cross-functional and geographically dispersed/diverse teams.
- Deep expertise in econometric methods and causal inference, with a portfolio of designing and managing experimental (RCT) and quasi-experimental evaluations in low-resource settings.
- Experience in modeling catalytic impact or measuring systems change (e.g., market systems development, policy influence)
- Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into actionable plans.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, particularly translating technical reports and data for wider audiences.
- Experience at a global level in a multi-national organization.
Pay range: $127,462.74 - $177,810.53 annually. The position can be based in Atlanta, other US states where CARE has staff (e.g., DC, NY, CA), Nairobi, or most countries where CARE has a country office .
