We are currently recruiting for two senior consultant based to join EDT’s Research & Consultancy (R&C) team.


Senior Consultants are the engine of strategic growth. They pursue, design, manage and deliver strategic opportunities in our core areas of expertise that help us achieve our charitable mission to transform lives by improving education around the world. They are pro-active in identifying and pursuing new business, they are highly skilled in problem solving and solution design and are adaptable to different contexts, clients and changing circumstances. They are outstanding communicators with excellent writing skills, able to engage and build rapport with clients, partners and other stakeholders in person and remotely. They live and breathe our core methods and contribute to continuously developing and improving them as we learn from our programmes and the wider evidence base.

As a Senior Consultant, with a focus on delivery, you will provide high quality research and consultancy services to donors, governments and charities internationally, as part of an ambitious and dynamic team which sits at the heart of Education Development Trust. You will also play a significant role in shaping the direction and growth of the consultancy business, with opportunities to lead product development, policy and thought leadership initiatives. You must have the skills and experience to work in three of our core markets – UK, AMEA, Africa and Asia.

We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in:

Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

Evidence in Policy and Practice

Teacher professional development

School leadership development

Curriculum design, especially English/Literacy or Mathematics

School improvement and raising school standards at scale, especially in numeracy and literacy

Your background might be in an improvement role in the school sector internationally, you might be leading a medium-large scale donor programme overseas, you might be in a research role in the education sector, or you might be in a business consultancy role with strong transferable skills.

You will have excellent consultancy skills, be as comfortable in a project design role applying research insights, as working in complex delivery teams internationally. Excellent writing skills are essential. You will thrive in a growing team, taking charge of your professional development and applying your skills to new business opportunities internationally. You may be asked to take on line management and development support for more junior colleagues.
