About the Organisation

We tailor the best methodologies to partner needs and constraints to fuse evidence with action. We serve governments, NGOs, foundations and social businesses across Africa and Asia in all major program areas, including health, education, agriculture, livelihoods, finance, energy and governance.
Key Responsibilities
You will support AI transformations within IDinsight and for external clients. Your work could be 100% internal or 100% external at any given time. Your work will include:
Minimum Requirements
We're looking for a combination of consulting expertise, technical capability, product thinking, and entrepreneurial drive. We value demonstrated ability over traditional credentials.
- Commitment to IDinsight's[ values and mission](https://www.idinsight.org/about-us/our-values/).
- 2-6 years in consulting, product operations, or digital transformation: Track record of supporting complex projects and delivering high-quality results.
- AI Power User: You are "AI native" in your work. You use LLMs daily to accelerate your output. You have a strong grasp of prompting strategies, context building, and the limitations (hallucinations, bias) of current models.
- Experience with hands-on AI implementation: Experience building and integrating no-code AI agents (e.g., CustomGPTs, Projects, Gems, etc.) and low-code automations (using tools like Zapier, Make, or n8n) that augment or automate workflows.
- Change Management: Experience supporting organizational change or technology adoption. Strong intuition that tools don't create impact unless people use them. Experience facilitating training, managing attitudes, or helping teams navigate new ways of working.
- Product Thinking: Experience conducting user research, translating fuzzy problems into clear solutions, defining problem statements, and validating assumptions through interviews and data.
- Communication & facilitation: Strong writing and presentation-building skills. Ability to distill technical concepts for non-technical audiences. Experience facilitating workshops or training sessions.
- Analytical Rigor: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to measure impact through data. Comfortable with advanced Excel/Google Sheets or SQL/R/Python.
- Experience living and working in low-income country settings.
- Experience working within social sector organizations, especially nonprofits, research organizations, consulting organizations, or foundations.
- Ability to collaborate with technical teams building AI solutions and agents.
- Knowledge of agile/lean methodologies and rapid experimentation frameworks.
