United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Senior Evaluator – Evaluator

Over the next four years, the Programme Evaluation Lead will help to deliver the Evaluation and Learning (E&L) contract for the UK’s Cross-Governmental Prosperity Fund (PF).

Programme evaluation teams will typically comprise a Programme Evaluation Lead (team leader), one or more Principal Evaluators, and one or more Senior Evaluators or Evaluators. Both Senior Evaluators and Evaluators will report to the Programme Evaluation Lead. Reporting on some work tasks may also be delegated by the PEL to a Principal Evaluator.
