Zinc Network seeks a full-time Mixed Methods Research and Evaluation Manager for a three-month contract scheduled between early November and early February.

The position is anticipated to be based in Moldova, though applications are open globally provided the applicant holds the correct right to work in their resident country.

The employer operates with a commitment to maintaining a diverse workforce representing various professional and cultural backgrounds.
