Consultant - Report Writer - Impact Measurement & M&E

Role Description

IIX is seeking an experienced Consultant Report Writer with expertise in impact measurement, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and sustainable development reporting. This project-based engagement is designed for a professional capable of synthesizing quantitative and qualitative data into rigorous, well-structured reports that clearly communicate impact to investors, donors, and development partners.

The Consultant will work closely with IIX's Strategic Initiatives and IIX Intelligence™ teams to produce reports that meet the highest standards of clarity, methodological integrity, and stakeholder relevance. This is not a traditional staff role. It requires a highly competent, self-directed writer who can work independently on complex assignments with multiple data sources and deliver polished outputs to tight timelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Impact Measurement & M&E Reports
  • Draft, edit, and finalize impact measurement reports for IIX's investment portfolios and programs, incorporating quantitative data and qualitative narratives.
  • Develop results frameworks, logframes, and theory of change documentation as required.
  • Synthesize M&E findings into accessible reports tailored to diverse audiences, including investors, donors, and government partners.
• Research & Knowledge Products
  • Produce thematic research briefs and sector analyses drawing on IIX's proprietary datasets (IIX Values™, IIX Intelligence™).
  • Write case studies, impact stories, and evidence briefs for publication and external stakeholder engagement.
  • Support the development of client impact reports and organizational publications.
• Quality Assurance & Editorial Support
  • Review and edit technical reports produced by program and research teams for consistency, accuracy, and clarity.
  • Ensure alignment with established impact frameworks such as IRIS+, SDG indicators, GRI, or gender-disaggregated data standards.
  • Support the scoping and development of new ideas and initiatives emerging from the CEO's Office.
  • Help structure early-stage concepts into proposals, frameworks, or workplans ready for internal review or external pitching.
  • Conduct research and analysis to inform the development of new programs, products, or strategic directions across sectors.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in International Development, Economics, Public Policy, Social Sciences, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 4 years of experience in impact measurement, M&E, or development reporting within financial institutions, development organizations, or consulting firms.
• Demonstrated experience producing high-quality reports involving quantitative data analysis and qualitative synthesis.
• Solid understanding of impact measurement frameworks (IRIS+, SDGs, GRI, SRoI, or equivalent).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated experience in one or more of:
  • Impact or evaluation reports.
  • Research or analytical briefs.
  • Grant reporting or donor communications.
  • Strategy or policy documents.
• Proven ability to work as a self-starter with minimal supervision.

Preferred / Desired Qualifications

• Knowledge of gender-lens investing, social inclusion metrics, or climate impact measurement.
• Experience working with MSMEs, blended finance structures, or impact bonds in emerging market contexts.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI) or statistical analysis software.
• Prior experience with DFIs, MDBs, or international development agencies.
