WHO WE ARE

NewGlobe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems — the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services, NewGlobe delivers rapid and dramatic improvements in learning outcomes at state and nationwide scale. Through impactful partnerships and programmes, NewGlobe ensures that all children have access to an education that helps them reach their full potential and lays the foundation for growth and prosperity.
NewGlobe leverages more than a decade of experience and demonstrated impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement — all grounded in learning science. This ensures every teacher is empowered to deliver transformational learning, and every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Every day, NewGlobe supports governments in solving challenges once seen as intractable. In doing so, it enables a generation to grow up with the knowledge and skills to lead more fulfilled lives while building economic prosperity for themselves, their communities, and the world. NewGlobe’s high-touch, intensive professional development programmes, combined with integrated school management, teacher support, and assessment software, enable schools to succeed. The organization works within national curricula and syllabi, ensuring children are empowered to learn their history and master local content, while remaining globally competitive in mathematics and languages. The science of behaviour change and the science of learning form the foundation of all programming.
NewGlobe works with urgency — because youth quickly becomes adulthood — and with relentlessness, because real improvement demands constant problem-solving. It is honoured to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems. NewGlobe’s work is wide-ranging and deeply meaningful. It will challenge you to use your full mind and heart each day. We need bright minds who want to build a new, more equitable globe to join us.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a full-time Vice President of Research, Measurement and Evaluation to join our team—someone eager to conduct impactful research, share their expertise, and build on NewGlobe’s strong tradition of evaluation excellence.
NewGlobe’s data and analysis function is expansive, serving students across thousands of schools in eight countries and growing. Data and analytics are core to our ability to learn as an organization. To improve teaching and learning at scale, we must deliver high-quality, actionable data to decision-makers at every level. We are therefore committed to cultivating exceptional talent—individuals who can produce, interpret, and apply data to drive continuous improvement across our network of schools.
The Vice President of Research, Measurement and Evaluation will lead a high-performing team of directors, managers, writers, and analysts across two primary functions: the Research arm, which conducts rigorous studies on instructional and operational performance, and the Data Analytics arm, which provides real-time insights to inform school- and system-level decisions. This position reports to the Chief Academic Officer.
This is a high-profile leadership role. As such, we expect the Vice President of Research, Measurement and Evaluation to contribute to the global dialogue on education by publishing and presenting NewGlobe’s findings to a range of audiences—including elected officials, policymakers, civil society and NGO leaders, researchers, and the broader public. The Vice President will also represent NewGlobe within professional networks focused on improving teaching and learning in public education systems.
A core responsibility of the Vice President of Research, Measurement and Evaluation is to continuously grow and support the capacity of the team. This includes supporting managers, writers and analysts in designing and refining data collection tools, protocols, visualizations, and reporting products. The Vice President will guide all aspects of this work, from technical review and project management to professional development and stakeholder engagement. By building capacity across the team, the Vice President helps ensure that Research, Measurement and Evaluation continues to drive meaningful improvement across NewGlobe.
The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, bring emotional intelligence and sound judgment to complex situations, and foster a sense of clarity and calm in a fast-paced environment.
The Vice President of Research, Measurement and Evaluation should be willing to work from our Cambridge, MA office. We will also consider candidates based in Washington, DC; Lagos; Kigali; or Nairobi. Given the global nature of the role, significant international travel is expected.
