Vacancy | GxD hub, LEAD/IFMR | Research Manager

AI and the digital economy are reshaping work and livelihoods, but without intentional design and evidence, women risk being left out of this transformation. What drives women’s meaningful and sustained participation in the digital economy? Where do systems break down? Are AI solutions designed for women's shared phone contexts and varying capabilities? And what actually works to build gender-equitable digital and AI-enabled work pathways? If these questions excite you, come work with me!

Hiring a Research Manager to join us at the Gender x Digital (GxD) Hub at LEAD at Krea University, Delhi.

As a Research Manager, you will lead and shape rigorous evidence generation at the intersection of gender, AI, and digital systems, informing more inclusive digital policies and platforms in India. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys geeking out over measurement challenges, causal questions, and the nuances of designing evaluations that answer what works, for whom, and why. We welcome applications from researchers with strong mixed-methods expertise, experience designing theory or experiment based evaluations, and a deep commitment to gender equality and digital inclusion.

Must-haves:
• 4+ years of experience in evaluation and applied research
• Ability to manage data quality, lead statistical analysis, and translate findings into clear, compelling reports and briefs
• Strong interest in gender equality, livelihoods, and digital inclusion
• Comfort with ambiguity and a fast-paced environment, as the ecosystem evolves and pivots to new areas of inquiry
