Reports to: the Chief Knowledge Officer

Summary:
We’re seeking an experienced researcher with expertise in using world-class survey and data analytics methodologies to synthesize quantitative and qualitative findings into compelling, action-oriented public reports. The researcher will lead end-to-end research on technology use by informal enterprises across Africa and South Asia, involving nationally representative surveys, digital ethnography, and multimedia outputs. This complex, high-impact project demands sharp insight and strong leadership.
We’d love to hear from you if you’re passionate about the connections between technology, people, and systems; skilled at using diverse research methods to synthesize knowledge and advance it through primary research; and eager to share insights that drive real-world impact.
Let’s break down the role:
• “Survey & Data Analytics' – We’re looking for professionals with a deep curiosity and hands-on experience in applied research. Alongside a strong generalist consulting toolkit, this role requires quantitative research expertise from business, technology, economics, and the social sciences. Experience writing survey questions and analyzing nationally representative survey data is a must.
• “Consultant” – This role is both structure and mindset. Research consultants begin work with Caribou on a per-project basis, joining teams to tackle specific research questions. One project often leads to another, creating longer-term collaborations. Our work spans surveys, experiments, qualitative research, stakeholder consultations, and data analytics, all within fast-moving projects with clear deliverables. But being a consultant is more than how we work—it’s how we think. Research consultants don’t just analyze data; they turn insights into action. They communicate findings through rigorous yet accessible reports and presentations. Every research study leads to a clear “so what.”
• “Inclusive Digital Economies” – Digital technologies are powerful tools for improving lives and livelihoods, but they also form a larger system—a digital economy—that shapes how we live and work. Your expertise engages the key elements that define this system. You’ve spent years working in or researching these challenges, recognizing the patterns that underpin our core areas: inclusive digital business models, technology for livelihoods and prosperity, policymaking for digital futures, and the intersection of technology, sustainability, and bold climate action.
