• The financing questions our clients face are not straightforward. How should a ministry of health allocate a constrained budget across a fragmented health system? What would it take to crowd in domestic resources for social protection at scale? Where are donor flows going — and are they reaching the right levels of the system? These are the questions our Senior Associates work on, at the frontier of applied policy analysis.
• This is a leadership role. You will lead engagements, manage teams, and serve as a primary point of contact for senior clients — while also contributing substantive analytical and advisory work yourself. You will mentor junior colleagues, shape project design, and contribute to the growth of our Social Sectors Financing practice.

In this role, you will:

• Lead client engagements end-to-end — designing analytical approaches, managing project teams, overseeing quality, and serving as a trusted interlocutor for senior government and donor counterparts.
• Deliver and oversee complex quantitative work: fiscal space assessments, health financing strategies, public expenditure reviews, costing models, and budget reform analyses, across a range of data sources and methodologies.
• Develop and present high-quality outputs — technical reports, policy briefs, strategy documents, and slide decks — to senior audiences including ministers, heads of agency, and bilateral and multilateral partners.
• Manage and mentor Analysts and Associates, reviewing their outputs and building their consulting and analytical skills.
• Play a meaningful role in proposal development and business development, including leading methodology sections, writing technical narratives, and engaging with prospective clients.
• Contribute to the strategic development of the Social Sectors Financing practice — identifying new opportunities, building client relationships, and helping shape how the team grows.
• This is a role for someone who is technically confident, comfortable with ambiguity, and ready to take on meaningful leadership responsibility in a fast-moving, high-performing team.
