The Mobile for Development (M4D) team drives innovation in digital technology to reduce inequalities in our world. Singularly positioned at the intersection of the mobile ecosystem and the development sector, we stimulate digital innovation to deliver both sustainable business and large-scale socio-economic impact for the underserved.

Our aim is to help shape an inclusive, impactful digital humanitarian future.
What the hiring manager says
“This is a fantastic opportunity for an early-career researcher to join a tight-knit team of high-performing research and insights professionals from a range of disciplines. The analyst role will support the delivery of a programme of well-grounded research and evaluation looking to drive impactful digital humanitarianism for underserved communities. The post-holder will benefit from working on a wide variety of projects to further develop their existing skills in research, insight and/or evaluation. This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in exposure to a wide variety of digitally-led initiatives in the humanitarian sector and who has an eagerness to learn research and MEL best practices in these contexts, while bringing a strong sense of ethics and quality to their work. The role will suit someone with a solid grounding in their research discipline and an interest in developing skills in others. The successful candidate will have an appreciation for the potential role of the private sector in delivering impactful services for people affected by crisis. It will be essential that they are effective and comfortable communicating and working with a range of stakeholders with different backgrounds and from around the world.”
Matthew Downer, Senior Insights Manager
About the Role
The Insights Analyst will be involved in the breadth of the multifaceted M4H Research and Insights work-stream, as well as supporting on MEL (monitoring, evaluation and learning) activity across our portfolio of work.
The Research and Insights stream’s function is to build a robust evidence base, seeking to answer the programme’s learning agenda questions in order to inform appropriate digitisation of the humanitarian sector. This is done through the delivery of bespoke research projects (often in partnership with mobile network operators, UN agencies or INGOs) as well as working to disseminate key insights to key stakeholders across the humanitarian and telecommunication sectors. The Insights analyst will play an important support function working with other members of the insights team to capture, analyse, shape and disseminate data and evidence from the M4H portfolio projects, including both innovation fund and strategic partnership projects.
The Insights Analyst will also support the application of the MEL framework (where required) to facilitate cross-programme learning and development. This will likely include supporting the delivery of reflective cross-programme workshops, synthesising and interrogating programme monitoring data or supporting in the delivery of discrete outcomes evaluation projects on behalf of on-the-ground services that M4H either funds or supports.
