The Senior Economist / Evidence and Evaluation Manager will work in a dedicated Impact and Evidence

directorate, working at the heart of Youth Futures Foundation.

You will be central to our ambition to create the largest repository of robust evidence and evaluations of what

works to support young people into good jobs. In the directorate, you will support the Heads of Evaluation, the

Deputy Director and Director to ensure all Youth Futures’ investments are designed to provide robust evidence

of what works. Primarily, you will support the Heads of Evaluation and the Deputy Director in the design of new

impact evaluations and lead on their commissioning and management.

Our priority for this post holder is to work on our What Works Programme 2, which designs and funds impact

evaluations, including (Randomised Controlled Trials and Quasi-Experimental designs) of youth employment

interventions.

The Senior Economist / Evidence and Evaluation Manager will also contribute to the development of our suite

of ‘evaluation architecture’, enhancing our data infrastructure and administrative dataset access, as well as

methodological guidance and standards. These will ensure that, as the What Works Centre for youth

employment, our evidence is as credible and useful as possible
