London, United Kingdom Verian Group Full time

Senior Director – Quantitative Impact Evaluation Hub Lead London, Westminster – Hybrid working available
Full/part-time
Permanent

Verian (formerly Kantar Public) is one of the leading social research, evaluation, and advisory agencies in the UK . We have over 150 specialist researchers and evaluators, and an office in the heart of Westminster. We advise clients on public policy design, ground-breaking behaviour change programmes, and provide national statistics and longitudinal data.

Policy and programme evaluation is one of the fastest expanding areas in social research today. There is an increasing focus within the UK government on more and better evaluation, including impact evaluation. As one of the top two providers of evaluations to the UK government, Verian already has a wide portfolio of national evaluation studies covering a wide range of policy areas, including housing (e.g. infrastructure, support housing, and homelessness), crime (e.g drugs, anti-social behaviour, and violence against women and girls), education (e.g. with pupils, parents and adult learners), energy and climate change.


Joining as a Senior Director, you will be leading the Quantitative Impact Evaluation (QIE) Hub within the Evaluation Practice at Verian UK. The QIE Hub leads on the acquisition and delivery of impact evaluations based on mixed-methods theory-based approaches, experimental or quasi-experimental designs and analytical methods including: randomised controlled trials, matching, synthetic control method, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity design, interrupted time series, and other econometric techniques for assessing causality.

One of our core competitive advantages is our ability to combine methodological expertise and industry-leading primary data collection capabilities, with client and sector understanding. This enables us to deliver robust, impactful, policy-relevant work. As the QIE Hub lead you will lead and contribute to impact evaluations in close collaboration with policy specialists and our dedicated research methods team (who specialise in quantitative research design and analysis).

You will be showcasing our impact evaluation work externally, whilst also building capacity internally.
