About the Position

We are seeking a
Senior Research Manager who will lead the design and implementation of GxD's
evaluation and research portfolio, specifically on deepening women’s engagement
in the AI and digital economy, and the development of GxD's gender-intentional
AI evaluation methodology. This is a senior role with real intellectual
ownership: the SRM will not just execute; they will shape how GxD evaluates,
what questions it asks, and how findings reach the right audiences.

The SRM will work
closely with the Associate Director – Research & MLE and may be expected to
manage a team of Research Associates and Research Managers, contribute to
proposal development and fundraising, and represent GxD's research identity to
external audiences.

Implementation

• Design and oversee mixed-method studies that combine
quantitative impact evaluation with qualitative process and contextual enquiry,

identification strategies (DiD, PSM, RCT), power calculations, sampling
validity, and data quality management.

• Lead data analysis, triangulation, and interpretation,
with strong command of STATA, R, or equivalent.
