Job Description

Join the Media Platform for the Global Development Community

You: an ambitious, data-loving analyst with interests in global development who works well within a diverse and growing global team.

Us: a buzzed-about social enterprise committed to changing the world through our audience of one million aid workers and development professionals.

If you’re eager to use your analytical chops and creative ability to make a real difference for development firms everywhere and to help build one of the most exciting new media platforms in the world, we’d love to meet. You’ll find at Devex an opportunity to carve out your own place in the world, learn from sharp, committed colleagues, and be part of an energizing culture that’s low on bureaucracy and high on impact (and fun).

The Team & Role:

Surveys & Advisory Services (SAS) is the business research and consulting practice at Devex. SAS leads quantitative and qualitative surveys and other customized projects for Devex clients, conducts in-depth assessments and reports on issues that matter most to the global development community, and develops business-focused editorial content, including practical business analysis and advice. SAS works with some of the most progressive and impactful private and public sector organizations in the world, including multinational corporations, international NGOs, and U.N. agencies.

The SAS team is looking for a versatile, business-minded, and highly-analytical DEVELOPMENT ANALYST with excellent oral and written communication abilities. The right candidate can contribute to the design and management of projects, excels under deadlines, and thrives off multitasking. He or she can conduct in-depth research and data analysis, but also take a step back and explain in plain English what the findings actually mean to an international development audience. The candidate is comfortable with managing large data sets, creating images, charts and graphs to professionalize deliverables, and conducting face-to-face and over the phone interviews to gather critical information.

Requirements:

To fit well in this role you must be truly sharp, an excellent researcher, analyst and writer, and someone with the leadership and communications skills that attract colleagues to want to work with you.

You also must have…

  • At least two years of work experience as an analyst or consultant
  • At least two years business writing and data analysis experience
  • Experience in the developing world and a global mindset
  • Relevant undergraduate degree

Preferred Qualifications:

Besides the basic requirements, here’s what we’d love to see…

  • International degree and/or work experience
  • Work experience at a major development organization, government agency or consulting firm
  • A solid grasp of how the development business works
  • You haven’t just heard of USAID, the World Bank and the Gates Foundation; you actually know what they do and how they work
  • Project management experience
  • Relevant master’s degree

This position is based in our Manila, Philippines office.
