IDinsight : Associate & Senior Associate (Asie/Afrique) – 11 octobre 2026

Contexte

IDinsight builds a global talent pool for Associate and Senior Associate positions for professionals interested in using data, evidence, research and technology to improve lives at scale. The opportunity is available across IDinsight’s countries of operation in Africa and Asia, with preference for its primary offices in Delhi, Manila, Lusaka, Nairobi, Dakar and Rabat.

This is an evergreen recruitment opportunity, meaning IDinsight is accepting applications continuously rather than recruiting for an immediate vacancy. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and retained in the talent pool for approximately 6–12 months. Candidates are contacted when a suitable position becomes available.
