You will do so using research to produce insight into emerging and future trends within the sector from a capacity strengthening and learning perspective, shaping the HLA's strategic direction.

You will also strengthen the HLA's impact and evidence work at the portfolio level by enhancing systems and providing strategic technical support. This includes driving a culture of accountability and embedding robust evaluation practices into all HLA activities.

• Represent the HLA in evidence-focused global forums to promote thought leadership on humanitarian learning, locally led response, and innovation.

• Oversee the development, optimisation and performance of data platforms, including but not limited to the CRM to streamline integration between current HLA platforms to unlock greater insights. 

• Develop and manage strategic research partnerships with donors, INGOs, local partners, networks, academia, and stakeholders to expand HLA's influence and impact.

• Drive the design and delivery of localised research and evidence products that address evidence gaps within the capacity-strengthening and leadership ecosystem.

About you 

We are looking for someone with the following experience and skills:

• Significant experience in Research, Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) within humanitarian or international development sectors and ability to work autonomously, setting direction for this area of work.

• Strong analytical skills with expertise in various research methodologies.

• Ability to design, implement, and improve MEAL systems, policies, and tools at various levels.

• Proven track record of leading and managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects within timelines and budgets.

• Senior managerial experience with a focus on fostering inclusive, high-performing team environments.

• Strong collaborative skills to engage with diverse stakeholders and achieve shared objectives.

• Excellent interpersonal and presentation skills, adaptable to diverse audiences and cultural contexts.

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter).  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. 

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
