Nairobi, Nairobi Area, 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.

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.

You will support 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 offer meaningful work with professional, talented and supportive teams; mentoring and regular feedback from partners; structured training and coaching programmes; and a career ladder.
