Policy Writer, Measurement and Evaluation
3 days ago
About The Role
- We are seeking a full-time Policy Writer to join our global team. We are looking for someone eager to work with colleagues from across NewGlobe —and M&E more specifically— to produce internal and external reports, and other pedagogically-rich written content for a range of stakeholders, based on the ongoing original research from which the M&E team is conducting continuously.
- Our ideal candidate will have experience of writing technically in the field of education. They will combine excellent writing with a proven ability to understand and interpret research and policy analysis, taking pride in attention to detail. A keen sense of ownership, speedy execution, and determination are a must.
- The M&E Policy Writer should be willing to work in Lagos, Nigeria. The M&E Policy Writer will report to the Senior Research Fellow, M&E.
What You Will Do
- Plan, develop and write a range of reports and other written content based on M&E studies of NewGlobe's pioneering work in the development and implementation of cutting edge pedagogy and education technology.
- Collaborate with data analysts and other team members to understand technical analyses and extract the most compelling facts.
- Provide technical writing and review of project materials in a quick, efficient manner.
- Learn about quantitative research methods and impact evaluations, in a way that helps the writer improve the clarity and accuracy of their outputs.
- Peer-edit and proofread other Policy Writers' work to ensure that high-quality products are being consistently delivered.
- Undertake ad hoc writing projects as necessary.
- Collaborate with NewGlobe's Creative department to create impactful visualisations of the content that Policy Writers produce.
- Liaise with colleagues in a matrixed structure to ensure that you are aware of all relevant programmatic developments that should be included in M&E reports.
- Other duties as required by the Directors and VP of M&E, and C-level executives.
What You Should Have
- A Bachelor's degree in a social science, humanities, literature, writing, editing, copyediting, journalism, science communications, or similar field.
- A graduate degree in either an education or writing-related field is desirable.
- At least 1-2 years of work experience where writing entailed a significant portion of the job responsibilities. Writing experience for an education or development org is a plus.
- Familiarity with quantitative research. At a minimum, the candidate should have a frank openness to learn and develop some expertise in this area, but the ideal candidate will be comfortable interpreting and describing research methods and results.
- Outstanding skills in persuasive writing and the ability to present technical ideas in a concise manner for a nontechnical audience
- Superior written and verbal communication skills, with a keen eye for detail
- Willingness to work with teams whose members are based in different locations around the world, which might require occasional flexibility in scheduling meetings to accommodate different time zones and deadlines
- Proven ability to learn quickly and understand complex topics
- Familiarity with issues related to the education sector a plus
- Proven ability to work independently, as well as part of a team
- Proven ability to prioritise and organise own workload effectively and efficiently and meet deadlines
- A robust, confident, can do attitude.
You're also
- A detailed doer – You have a track record of getting things done. You're organised and responsive. You take ownership of every idea you touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets, engaging others, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task dozens of such projects at once and never lose sight of the details.
- A creative problem-solver – NewGlobe works in often fragile, sometimes volatile low-resource communities and with complex government systems. You need to be flexible and ready to get everything done effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand.
- A self-starter– You are able to work independently, complete tasks on or ahead of schedule, and take the initiative to explore additional improvements and seek new resources.
- A relationship-builder – You excel at meeting new people and turning them into advocates. You communicate in a clear, conscientious, and effective way in both written and oral speech. You have an existing network from prior experience in the country, preferably in the regulatory, education, or business sectors.
- A relentless advocate –The children we serve and teachers we empower never leave your mind. You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them or would be happy to in the future. You would never shrink back from shaking a parent's hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the person was wearing or looked like. Every decision you make considers their benefit, experience, and value.
- A malleable learner –You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive criticism and provide it freely to others. You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where you've missed things or failed today.
- A curious investigator – You ask "why" a lot. You don't just take what you see and accept it. You wonder why it is that way, and are aware that the world we see is created by human choices and actions – and it could be different. You wonder, and see the world as wonderful even when you want to change a part of it that is unjust.
