About the Role

We are seeking an experienced professional with a strong background in impact evaluation, child protection, gender, and social norms. Your technical expertise, coupled with your ability to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, will be essential in designing, managing, and implementing multi-country portfolios of impact evaluations.

You will serve as a principal investigator and co-principal investigator on selected impact evaluations, working closely with regional and country office evaluation specialists and program practitioners.

  • Support the Evaluation Office and the global evaluation function to design, manage, and implement multi-country portfolios of impact evaluations in strategic areas.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including national partners, academic institutions, and other United Nations agencies.
  • Leverage the capacity and expertise of national partners working in the thematic area and ensure visibility of UNICEF and donor efforts.
  • Provide technical assistance to UNICEF regional and country offices in developing terms of reference and donor proposals for mixed-methods impact evaluations.
Requirements

To qualify for this position, you will need:

  • An advanced university degree (master or PhD) in social sciences (e.g., economics, public policy, or a related field).
  • A minimum of eight years of technical leadership experience in mixed-methods impact evaluation within an international organization, a development agency, academia, government, or the private or non-profit sector.
  • Demonstrated thematic expertise in areas of child protection, gender, and social norms.
  • Solid track record of leading and managing mixed-methods impact evaluations that rely on both qualitative and quantitative approaches and various data collection modalities.
  • Demonstrated experience in executing complex multi-regional, multi-country initiatives.
Benefits

As a Global Impact Evaluation Specialist at UNICEF, you will enjoy a range of benefits, including:

  • A competitive salary: $80,000 - $120,000 per annum, depending on experience.
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, life insurance, and retirement savings plan.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development, including training and certification programs.
  • A dynamic and supportive work environment, with access to cutting-edge technology and resources.
