Lead/ Senior Consultant - Monitoring-Learning-Evaluation  Job Description :   The world you would operate in :  The world of evaluation has emerged in the last decade. Many things have contributed to this evolution :  - Enhanced awareness, knowledge and usability of data primarily as a function of the highly technology centric world we are operating in;   - Pressure and focus on how development money is being used - whether this is a function of the global recession or just a mature donor community wanting to ensure effective utilization of aid and   - More mature clients and decision makers who want to see long term sustainable solution compared to short term quick wins.   And probably many more - maybe you should think through some of them as you explore this opportunity!!  - Evaluation today has a role much beyond compliance, assessment and stock taking and will become an engine for research, innovation and future focused thinking in the development.   - Athena's - Data Science for Development- motto is best embodied in the rigorous data backed monitoring and evaluation philosophy that we execute for our clients. These clients range from governments, multilateral and bilateral donors to an ever expanding group of international NGOs and Corporate Foundations. The applicability of the model in a for-profit ecosystem like the economic impact of corporate investments into locations or assisting the impact investment community with a service to measure the real impact of their portfolio are opportunities that push the boundaries much beyond traditional clientele and sectors, and we are at the forefront exploring such opportunities for the firm.  What you can expect :  - The dynamic nature of the evaluation domain in terms of clientele, tools, technology, economic models etc. means this is an exciting area to be in.

Your contributions will be documented and etched into a knowledge base that development practitioners can and will refer to in future.  Are you in :   Are you interested in a dynamic environment where in the same day you might be discussing entrepreneurship / incubators in the morning with a corporate client, writing a proposal for an urban health service delivery program in the afternoon and sleep overnight grappling with the thought of how to reconcile a country's poor - Ease of Doing Business- ranking with its tremendous ability to attract large foreign investors.  a) Yes the evaluation practice at Athena provides you the breadth of exposure across sectors while also building your expertise in being able to critically evaluate policies, programs and projects, back findings with rigorous research and create monitoring systems for ongoing analysis and decision support.  b) Secondly, are you interested in putting your problem solving hat in any situation to build an evaluation framework for complex contexts-   You will be surprised, how your econometric modeling skill or your financial management & risk analysis skill or your technology & tool building skill or your penchant for observing & modeling individual and institutional behaviors can be PUT TO TREMENDOUS USE   Are you game to explore this journey while developing other life skills like working with a diverse group, teaching as well as learning, building a business   And of course with the end goal to ensure development spend results in continuous and ongoing impact  c) Thirdly, are you interested in being part of & building a team that is emerging into a cornerstone within a fast-growing specialized development consulting firm and are you a person that can bring in unique and fresh perspectives of how to contribute to the evolution of the team not just in terms of solutions and skills but in terms of ideas, innovation and creativity.   If your answers to (A), (B) and (C) are yes you are at the right place and have the right attitude to be considered for this role.  Some basic filters :  - Must have a Masters degree- Don't worry if your specialization is in business, finance, computer science & technology, public policy, development studies, economics, social sciences or even mathematics; All this training can be put to work here !  - Must have at least five to seven years of professional services experience where considerable time was spent on applied research or solutioning (internal or external) or consulting; AND the ability to manage and mentor a team of young researchers and development practitioners  - Must have a balance of research management, business management, client management, people management and project management experience  Location : Chennai / Delhi
