At Just Results, we identify growth opportunities in high potential markets, and structure performance-based contracts to achieve them. We offer guaranteed products in three areas: improving the investment climate, agricultural value chains, and youth employment.A start-up led by experienced leaders from the international development community, we seek to work directly for governments and business leaders in emerging markets. We also offer economic analysis and product development support to donors and implementing organizations. Our team is a global, invitation-only network of trusted development experts who have themselves achieved tangible results in one or more of the areas above. As Director of Data and Quantitative Research, I lead data collection and analysis, build analytical and predictive models, and ensure that our recommendations and interventions are supported by robust frameworks. I also conduct economic analysis (including labor market assessments, etc), participate in technical field work related to investment climate and youth employment, manage proposal writing, and participate in other business development activities.
