About the role

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.

● 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

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 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
