- Provide cross support to regional teams.
- Develop and deliver training events on public institutions and government analytics as well as on various topics linked to governance, public institutions, and governance data.
- Review and provide succinct comments on CPFs, CCDRs, and corporate proposals, requiring a strong sense of key governance and institutional issues to raise in a strategic manner.
- Master's or Ph.D. degree in Economics, Public Policy, Political Science or similar field, with at least 5 years of experience.
- Hands-on experience with reform processes, political economy analytics and change management at the country level.
- Proven experience with climate change governance, understanding 'governance in sectors' and working across sectoral boundaries.
- Experience working with governance data.
- Strong track record of research and publications in the area of governance and institutions.
- Analytical and quantitative skills for policy, economic and financial analysis. Experience/knowledge of data analytical tools (e.g., Stata, python, R).
- Experience with mentoring junior staff and managing task teams in a collaborative way.
- Experience of designing and delivering training events for staff and for client counterparts.
- Strong integrative capacities: i.e., ability to situate public sector governance and Institutional strengthening activities within a coherent strategic framework and economic development narrative and to engage with other GPs constructively.
- Ability to juggle numerous competing demands and priorities, respond quickly to country and management requests, and set priorities for self and others.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English; ability to communicate in another main language (Spanish, French, Arabic) would be a plus.
