We are currently looking for a Senior Assessment Officer to support our team in Uganda.

The position will fall under the supervision of the IMPACT Country Coordinator and IMPACT HQ in Geneva. The candidate should be comfortable representing IMPACT with external humanitarian partners.

This position requires an analytical mind, creativity, independence, and an interest in the Ugandan context. Candidates should have strong writing and presentation skills and be able to clearly think through and articulate implications of research findings. The position will regularly require looking at data, pulling out relevant findings, writing engaging briefs and factsheets, presenting findings to external audiences with varying amounts of data literacy, and guiding colleagues in how to think more analytically about their own research.
