About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Provide technical, project management, and strategic support for the implementation of an existing EVA program (particularly SQLN-S in Nigeria), ensuring technically sound implementation and government alignment:
Support country team members with strategic and technical guidance, tools, and resources for implementation of the program in their relevant country context.
Support in developing and monitoring program workplans, budgets and milestone trackers to ensure timely, quality implementation.
Provide technical and research support to inform long-term goals and implementation pathways.
Contribute to the expansion of Evidence Action’s existing and new nutrition programs by conducting scoping activities in Africa and Asia to understand the partner landscape, government buy-in, and potential impact and feasibility of program expansion in those geographies.
Support development of reports to inform the organization’s internal understanding on the potential design, impact and cost-effectiveness of expansion activities.
Review the evidence base, cost-effectiveness and implementation feasibility of nutrition interventions in the Accelerator pipeline. As interventions progress through the pipeline, support development of initial plans for scoping and piloting interventions as needed.
Support our Executive Vice President across strategic team initiatives; this may include coordinating team level objectives, supporting development and execution of key strategic initiatives, and drafting presentations for leadership decision making.
Partner with cross-functional teams (i.e. cost-effectiveness and monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE)) to design cost-effectiveness models, theories of change, MLE frameworks, implementation research studies, surveys and evaluations.
Support identification and engagement with values-aligned donors, including development fundraising materials (pitches, slide decks, budgets), and tracking of fundraising work-plans.
Provide input on cultivating strategic partnerships with external stakeholders (technical experts, government, multilaterals and other development partners) to enable effective collaboration and advocacy.
