Current Opportunity

You will build hands-on skills in compiling, analyzing and visualizing data from corporate systems, and gain experience engaging with GGGI staff, government counterparts and resource partners and documenting stakeholder consultations. Along the way, you will see how evaluation evidence supports organizational learning, accountability and decision-making, all while working in a collaborative, multicultural team.
