Current Opportunities at Genesis Analytics

ROLE DESCRIPTION:

• The financing decisions that determine whether health systems are adequately resourced, whether education budgets reach the classroom, or whether social protection programmes can scale — these are made by governments and donors working with imperfect data and competing pressures. Our job is to make sure they have the best possible analytical foundation.  This is a role for someone who has already done substantive analytical work in a professional setting and is ready to take real ownership of project components. You will work on live client engagements spanning health financing, public expenditure analysis, costing, fiscal space, and social sector budget reform — for clients that include national ministries, multilateral development banks, bilateral donors, and global funds.

In this role, you will:

• Lead analytical workstreams within client projects — designing the approach, managing the data, and owning the outputs from start to finish.
• Conduct rigorous quantitative analysis using complex, often imperfect datasets: public budget and expenditure systems, donor flow data, household surveys, macro-fiscal databases, and administrative records.
• Develop core client deliverables — financial models, costing exercises, public expenditure reviews, fiscal space assessments, financing strategies — and translate findings into slidedecks, technical briefs, and policy notes that move client thinking.
• Engage directly with clients in working sessions, technical reviews, and presentations, communicating quantitative findings with clarity and confidence.
• Contribute to proposal development and business development, including drafting methodology sections and relevant project experience.

You will be supported by experienced senior colleagues and given the space to develop. But you will be trusted with responsibility early — because that is how good consultants are made.

REQUIREMENTS:

• 3–5 years of professional experience in quantitative analysis in a consulting, research, government, or international development setting.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with complex datasets — including budget and expenditure data, donor flows, household surveys, and macro-fiscal indicators.
• Strong proficiency in at least one statistical or analytical tool (Stata, R, Python, or advanced Excel), with the ability to run analyses and interpret results without close supervision.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English, with the ability to present technical findings to non-technical audiences.
• Prior consulting experience — particularly in strategy, economics, or management consulting — is a strong advantage.
• A Bachelor’s degree (minimum). Preferred degrees include Economics, Public Policy, Statistics, Data Science, Finance, Mathematics, International Development, PPE, or related field. A Master’s degree or PhD is an advantage.
• Working proficiency in French or Arabic is a significant advantage given our client portfolio in Francophone Africa and the Middle East.

ROLE DESCRIPTION

• The financing questions our clients face are not straightforward. How should a ministry of health allocate a constrained budget across a fragmented health system? What would it take to crowd in domestic resources for social protection at scale? Where are donor flows going — and are they reaching the right levels of the system? These are the questions our Senior Associates work on, at the frontier of applied policy analysis.
• This is a leadership role. You will lead engagements, manage teams, and serve as a primary point of contact for senior clients — while also contributing substantive analytical and advisory work yourself. You will mentor junior colleagues, shape project design, and contribute to the growth of our Social Sectors Financing practice.

In this role, you will:

• Lead client engagements end-to-end — designing analytical approaches, managing project teams, overseeing quality, and serving as a trusted interlocutor for senior government and donor counterparts.
• Deliver and oversee complex quantitative work: fiscal space assessments, health financing strategies, public expenditure reviews, costing models, and budget reform analyses, across a range of data sources and methodologies.
• Develop and present high-quality outputs — technical reports, policy briefs, strategy documents, and slide decks — to senior audiences including ministers, heads of agency, and bilateral and multilateral partners.
• Manage and mentor Analysts and Associates, reviewing their outputs and building their consulting and analytical skills.
• Play a meaningful role in proposal development and business development, including leading methodology sections, writing technical narratives, and engaging with prospective clients.
• Contribute to the strategic development of the Social Sectors Financing practice — identifying new opportunities, building client relationships, and helping shape how the team grows.
• This is a role for someone who is technically confident, comfortable with ambiguity, and ready to take on meaningful leadership responsibility in a fast-moving, high-performing team.

REQUIREMENTS

• 5–8 years of professional experience, including demonstrated leadership of client-facing analytical or advisory engagements in consulting, international development, or a policy research institution.
• Deep proficiency in quantitative analysis applied to public finance or social sector financing questions, with the ability to design and oversee complex analytical workstreams.
• A strong track record managing and mentoring junior staff and coordinating multi-disciplinary project teams.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication in English — able to distil complex technical findings for senior government, donor, and partner audiences.
• Direct experience working with governments, multilaterals, or bilateral donors in low- or middle-income country contexts.
• A Bachelor’s degree (minimum). Preferred degrees include Economics, Public Policy, Statistics, Data Science, Finance, Mathematics, International Development, PPE, or related field. A Master’s degree is an advantage. A Master’s degree or PhD is preferred.
• Working proficiency in French or Arabic is a significant advantage given our client portfolio in Francophone Africa and the Middle East.

ROLE DESCRIPTION:

• We are looking for a quantitatively strong Associate to join our Human Development team and contribute to applied analysis on nutrition financing, programme prioritisation, and policy design. This is a role for someone who has already done real analytical work in a professional setting and is ready to take ownership of meaningful project components.
• The questions you'll work on are the ones governments and global funders actually wrestle with: How much would it cost to scale a national stunting reduction package? Where is current public spending going, and is it reaching the children it's intended for? What is the highest-return mix of interventions given a constrained budget? How should a new financing instrument be structured to crowd in domestic resources? Your job will be to turn complex, often imperfect data into answers that hold up under scrutiny — and that decision-makers can act on.
• You will work alongside senior colleagues with deep sectoral and consulting experience, on engagements with national ministries (including Finance, Health, and Planning), multilateral development banks, bilateral donors, and global nutrition initiatives. 

In this role, you will:

• Take ownership of analytical workstreams within projects focused on the drivers of malnutrition and the systems and financing arrangements that shape nutrition outcomes — particularly for women, children, and marginalised communities across low- and middle-income settings.
• Source, clean, and analyse complex datasets from public, administrative, and proprietary sources (DHS, MICS, IHME, World Bank, BOOST, WHO, OECD CRS, national budget and expenditure data), with the analytical rigour and transparency expected of work that informs major financing decisions.
• Deliver core analytical products — costing models, public expenditure reviews, financing gap analyses, prioritisation and investment cases, evidence syntheses — and translate them into outputs (slides, briefs, technical notes) that move client thinking.
• Engage directly with clients in working sessions, technical reviews, and presentations, building the judgement to communicate quantitative findings in policy-relevant language.
• Bring sectoral grounding — applying your understanding of nutrition, public health, and/or economics to ensure analysis reflects how decisions actually get made and implemented.
• Contribute to a team culture that takes both the technical work and the people doing it seriously.

This role offers a genuinely steep learning curve. You will sharpen technical depth and develop the judgement that comes from working on policy questions where the answers matter.

REQUIREMENTS:

• A Master's degree in Public Health, Public Health Nutrition, Health Economics, Economics, Development Economics, Statistics, or a closely related field from a reputable institution.
• 3–5 years of professional experience in quantitative analysis within consulting, research, government, or international development.
• Demonstrated ability to source, clean, and interpret complex datasets — including aggregated nutrition, health, and social sector data from sources such as DHS, MICS, IHME, World Bank, BOOST, WHO, OECD, and national budget systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one statistical or analytical tool (Stata, R, Python, or equivalent), with the ability to run and interpret analyses independently.
• A working understanding of the multi-sectoral nature of nutrition and its intersections with health, education, agriculture, social protection, and WaSH.
• Familiarity with the global nutrition architecture and key initiatives (e.g., Scaling Up Nutrition Movement, Nutrition for Growth commitments, Power of Nutrition, GFF). Direct project experience is an advantage but not required.
• Sharp problem-solving instincts — the ability to structure ambiguous questions and move them toward defensible answers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English, with the ability to distil complex findings for non-technical audiences. Working proficiency in French is an advantage given our portfolio in Francophone Africa.
• Initiative, ownership, and the early signs of leadership — the capacity to manage your own tasks well and support others as projects scale.

ROLE DESCRIPTION

• We are looking for an organised, analytically minded Associate to play a central role in shaping the proposals and projects that drive our Social Sectors Financing portfolio within the Human Development practice. This is a hybrid role that sits at the intersection of strategy and delivery — well suited to someone who enjoys structuring complex ideas into compelling outputs and holding multidisciplinary teams to a high professional bar.
• The Social Sectors Financing portfolio works on some of the most consequential questions in development: how governments and donors finance health, education, social protection, and nutrition; how scarce public resources can be deployed more effectively; and how new financing instruments can mobilise resources at the scale these challenges demand. Your role is to help us win this work and deliver it well.
• On the business development side, you will support the preparation of proposals, expressions of interest, and concept notes for governments, foundations, UN agencies, and bilateral partners. You will coordinate inputs across technical contributors, help shape narratives and workplans, support budget development, and ensure that submissions are coherent, sharp, and deadline-ready. Strong proposals are won on substance and craft — you will be central to both.
• On the delivery side, you will support the coordination of selected live projects: tracking deliverables and timelines, managing internal workflows, quality-assuring client-facing outputs, and helping ensure that engagements run smoothly from kick-off to close. You will work alongside senior colleagues with deep sectoral expertise and gain genuine exposure to how complex international development projects are actually run.
• This is a role for someone who takes pride in the quality of their work, brings calm under deadline pressure, and wants to build a meaningful career at the intersection of consulting craft and social impact. Beyond the immediate scope, the role offers strong exposure to the commercial and strategic dimensions of consulting — perspective that sets up well for future progression in the practice.

In this role, you will:

• Own the coordination of proposal processes end-to-end — from initial scoping through to submission — for bids to governments, foundations, UN agencies, and bilateral donors across health, education, social protection, and nutrition.
• Draft, structure, and edit proposal content, including technical narratives, workplans, team biographies, and supporting annexes, ensuring submissions are clear, compelling, and tightly aligned to client requirements.
• Support budget development in collaboration with senior colleagues and finance, contributing to commercially sound and donor-compliant submissions.
• Coordinate live projects — tracking deliverables, managing internal workflows, monitoring timelines, and supporting the quality of client-facing outputs.
• Build and maintain the systems that keep a busy portfolio running well: opportunity pipelines, proposal trackers, partner databases, and project documentation.
• Engage constructively with senior colleagues, partners, and clients, representing the practice professionally in coordination conversations.

REQUIREMENTS

• 3–5 years of relevant professional experience in development consulting, advisory, international development, or a similar environment.
• Demonstrated experience contributing to proposal development — drafting technical sections, coordinating inputs, supporting workplans or budgets, or managing submission processes for donor or government bids.
• Strong writing and structuring skills, with the ability to produce clear, well-organised, and persuasive content under deadline pressure.
• Proven ability to coordinate multiple contributors and manage parallel workstreams without dropping the ball.
• High attention to detail and strong organisational instincts.
• Ability to work independently while engaging constructively with senior colleagues across a multidisciplinary team.
• Genuine interest in social sector policy and financing (health, education, social protection, nutrition, or related fields). Deep technical specialisation is not required.
• A Master's degree in public policy, economics, international development, public health, or a related field is desirable but not required. Strong relevant professional experience will be equally valued.

Advantageous

• Experience working with UN agencies, foundations, or bilateral donors.
• Familiarity with donor proposal formats, logical frameworks, and results frameworks.
• Experience supporting project management, including tracking budgets and deliverables.
• Background or strong interest in public health nutrition.
• Working proficiency in French

• We are looking for an A-Grade Management Consultant who doesn’t just advise from the sidelines but gets onto the field to help our Financial Services clients build the future.
• You are a long-term partner to clients. You aren’t just a vibe-checker or a temporary advisor on a single project.  You will be embedded with some of the most interesting players in Financial Services across Africa, such as banks, MFIs, telcos, and Fintechs, helping them navigate complex shifts not just by telling them what’s wrong, but by architecting and deploying what’s right.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Bridge the Gap: Use your bilingual skills to speak both the language of high-level strategy and the gritty reality of operational execution.
• Explore & Innovate: You’ll have the license to explore new concepts, from emerging fintech integrations to radical process overhauls, and figure out how they actually fit the client’s ecosystem.
• Own the Outcome: Success for us isn't measured by a "sign-off" on a deck; it’s measured by deployments, realised ROI, and the long-term health of the client's business.
• Build the Relationship: We don’t do "hit-and-run" consulting. You’ll be cultivating long-term collaborations, becoming the trusted advisor who partners with clients and helps them see the seeds sprout.

Requirements

Genesis consultants carry a balanced combination of powerful intellect, strong technical skills, and a consulting character to match. 

Qualifications and Experience Required

Successful candidates are passionate, self-motivated problem-solvers who value integrity, exhibit ethical behaviour, and are analytical thinkers with an excellent academic record. You’ve likely worked in a Financial Services firm (client-side) and have also gained experience in a fast-paced advisory environment. You know why things break in the real world, and you know how to pitch the fix to the C-suite.

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Economics, Finance, Statistics, Data Science, or a related discipline.
• The Experience: You have 5–8+ years of professional experience, with a proven mix of industry (FS) and consulting exposure.
• The Mindset: You are hands-on by default. You aren't afraid to dive into the data or the workflow to find the friction points.
• The Collaborator: You enjoy the whiteboard phase of a project, but you enjoy the go-live even more.
• The Expertise: You have a genuine interest in the evolution of finance—be it banking, insurance, or wealth management—and you’re always looking for the next opportunity to innovate within it.
• High attention to detail and a meticulous approach to data and analysis.
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• A strong, demonstrable interest in payments systems, digital finance, and digital financial inclusion.
