1. Summary
Causal Design is an economic consulting firm conducting rigorous
program evaluations and analysis for international development
organizations. Our evaluations are designed to provide timely and
practical information to decision makers working to end poverty and
inequality.
We are looking for an impact evaluation expert to join our team and
lead our Impact Evaluation domain. This is primarily a technical
role with some client-facing responsibilities. Directors (Grade-12)
are expected to spend 75% of their time directly supporting
projects and proposals for technical activities; the remaining time
will be spent overseeing their respective domains, and
training/mentoring staff.
The Impact Evaluation Director will lead Causal Design's impact
evaluation portfolio, playing a pivotal role in driving the success
of our projects. This position requires providing strategic
oversight and technical quality assurance to ensure that our teams
consistently deliver timely, cost-effective, and high-quality
research outcomes to a diverse range of clients. The Director will
also be responsible for establishing and upholding the company's
technical standards for impact evaluation, as well as developing
and managing systems to enhance the technical capabilities of our
staff. As a thought leader and key technical resource within the
company, the role will shape and advance our approach to impact
evaluation.
The applicant should be an expert in all impact evaluation methods.
Moreover, the applicant should be conversant in all of the
following evaluation tools: Cost Benefit Analysis, Cost
Effectiveness Analysis, Growth Diagnostics, Program Evaluation, and
M&E systems more generally.
The position is based in the Denver Metro area in Wheat Ridge,
Colorado with the possibility of being authorized to work from
Washington, D.C. Remote work may be considered for exceptional
candidates. This position has the potential for extensive
international travel.
2. Responsibilities
This position will be expected to leverage in-depth and
comprehensive technical and managerial expertise to independently
complete and oversee all aspects of Impact Evaluation (IE) design
and implementation across a range of complexity and client/country
contexts across a large share of Causal Design's portfolio of IE
activity. Additionally, the position will support the development
of processes related to management, standardization, quality
control, and quality assurance.
In addition to technical expertise, the candidates will be expected
to demonstrate a high level of professionalism and organization to
support the ongoing technical portfolio of the Causal Design global
office. This includes the management of multi-year USAID awards and
contracts that require a high level of client and administrative
management as well as an understanding of the USAID program
cycle.
