• Mentor our growing research and data teams, especially on project management.

• Contribute to country-level strategic decisions such as which projects to pursue, team development, and how to increase the impact of our research.

As part of Laterite's management team, you will have a voice in project selection, corporate strategy, process improvements, and structuring Laterite’s research agenda. You will serve as role model for the team, actively promoting our organizational culture, and helping us to grow and achieve our mission as an organization.
