Objectives and Ethos
Samuel Hall is an independent think tank specialised in field research and social impact.
We provide practicable insights to
challenging issues in the developing world by providing academic-standard research through primary data collection in areas where researchers do not commonly go.
Samuel Hall works with governments, donors, multilateral organisations and INGOs, as well public and private sector entities.
We have worked with more than sixty-five organisations worldwide since 2010 through our offices in Afghanistan, Kenya and Somalia covering Asia and Africa.
We are a rapidly growing research organisation: you will be expected to growth with us and carve out your own spot in the
team. We look for pro-active, creative individuals who can identify opportunities to make their mark, and identify solutions
to problems.
We believe in hiring people who can show their ability to be both strong leaders and reliable followers, who have skills that our team currently lacks and who join us to add value from the very start.
We hire people who can expand our knowledge, and help us reach our social impact objective in their field of expertise.
We work in a fast-paced, demanding and challenging environment: you will need thick skin, passion and dedication!
