Nairobi, Kenya Genesis Analytics Full time

Our purpose is to unlock value in Africa. We use our analytical capabilities to improve decision-making and, through better decisions, to unlock substantial value for our clients and society. While we are the largest economics-based consulting firm in Africa, we use a large number of techniques and approaches to achieve clarity for decision-makers.

ROLE DESCRIPTION:

You will collaborate with Genesis colleagues to manage and participate in consulting teams dedicated to assisting clients in unlocking and realizing value in human development. This involves helping governments and their partners understand and address various risks affecting their populations. These risks encompass "fat tail" risks such as Covid-19, conflict, or catastrophic climate change, as well as risks associated with age, disease, the economy, and technological change. Your role will involve supporting clients in developing responsive, adaptive, and comprehensive Social Protection systems, including social transfers, social insurance, support for labour and jobs, and social care services. The ultimate outcome will be improved risk and shock management for marginalized populations, ensuring access to a minimum safe income for a decent life.
We hire senior associates with the strong belief that they can become partners at Genesis. Genesis offers a highly rewarding, challenging, and flexible career. Working with your mentor, we encourage you to explore living and working in different locations and deepening and complementing your specialised skills and knowledge in social protection.

 ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES:
In each project (consulting engagement), you will:

assess and structure the problem to be solved;
collect, organise, interpret, and analyse data and information;
test and refine hypotheses; and
draft and communicate conclusions and recommendations, often directly to the client.

In some cases, you will travel to do this, usually with colleagues. In some projects, you will play a leadership and management role, working closely with and supported by project leaders.

You will also play a role in:

Business development in social protection, including responsibility for leading and managing proposals;
Burning new ideas on social protection into concrete products, such as blogposts, academic articles, conference presentations, or innovative products for clients.
Practice organisation, including working on practice strategy, business systems, recruiting, nurturing, and training consultants, and leading and building new specialisms in social protection.

We offer you a steep learning curve while providing an opportunity to make a difference. We will invest in your professional development. We offer meaningful work with professional, talented and supportive teams; mentoring and regular feedback from partners; structured training and coaching programmes; and a career ladder. You will learn:

How to structure and solve problems in a rigorous and collaborative way that actually leads to realising value.
How to work effectively in diverse, lean, agile and professional teams.
How to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients.
About your own work and leadership styles and preferences.
Specialist technical skills in social protection.

The ideal Genesis candidate carries a balanced combination of powerful intellect, strong technical skills, and a consulting character to match. Such candidates:

Are passionate, self-motivated and energetic problem-solvers
Value integrity and exhibit ethical behaviour
Are analytical thinkers and fast learners with an excellent academic record.
