- Contribute to reports or other internal or external materials.
- Work with internal and external stakeholders to facilitate funding for opportunities.
- Interact with UHNW donors as an expert, answering detailed questions about research.
Requirements

- Domain knowledge in a relevant topic (e.g., development economics, public health, cost-effectiveness analysis).
- Transferable skills from fields such as medicine, finance, or hard sciences are also considered.
- Comfort expressing views numerically and working with quantitative frameworks.
- Ability to understand and build quantitative models.
- Ability to express nuanced evidence and complex concepts clearly.

- Conscientiousness and prioritization skills.
- Good judgment in project duration and report content.
- Ability to work well with others, communicate honestly and directly, and be open to feedback.
