About the role:
This role sits with our Inclusive Growth and Climate Change (IGCC) practice, which recognises that the threats posed by climate change are global and have the potential to reverse hard-fought development gains. The Analyst role provides support across the whole project portfolio including desk-based research, business development and project delivery.

- Searching for potential team members using various online tools
Project Delivery:
- Document reviews and coding of interview notes and other data
- Supporting document management and filing
- Supporting data analysis (e.g. coding qual data / analysis of data in Excel)

- Support to Project Managers with discreet technical tasks.
- Proof reading and formatting
Practice Support
- Provide general, research and analytical support to the Practice including supporting the Practice Leadership team in key recurring resourcing and commercial tasks, and the Practice Partners with meeting scheduling
