• Strong background in quantitative research / econometrics / statistics

• Ability to work with imperfect, real-world data
• 4–6 years in research, data, consulting

Mindset

• You can clearly explain what can and cannot be interpreted
• You understand trade-offs between rigor and reality

• Build measurement systems (not one-off research)
• Work on cross-country impact problems
• High ownership and direct influence on decisions
