- Minimum 6-8 years of experience in statistical modelling with a track record of delivering actionable insights.
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
- Proficiency in statistical programming languages such as R or Python for data analysis and modelling
- Expertise in SPSS for advanced statistical analysis and reporting
- Strong understanding of causal inference techniques
- Familiarity with data visualization tools, Power BI, for creating intuitive and interactive dashboards.
- Experience with survey design and data collection tools, KoboToolbox, to support high-quality data gathering and management.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Strong communication skills to effectively present complex analyses and insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Effective in written and verbal communication in English.
- Available for travel up to 15% of the time.
