The Associate Analysis &amp; Research Officer will operate in a context where the Global Analysis and System Team is developing several key projects aiming at improving PSP level of insight into fundraising performance and identifying fundraising opportunities to build stronger PSP IG operations. From a technical point of view, the success of projects in which the Associate Analysis &amp; Research Officer will be involved, will highly depend on the quality of the data feeding into the analysis, the improvement of systems and processes in place to transform raw data into fundraising information, and the team’s capacity to formulate and disseminate actionable findings at global and national levels.
