Mixed Methods Research and Evaluation Manager - Ukraine, London or remote

Please note: This position is contingent on funding being secured. The successful candidate for this role must be a market researcher with at least three years of experience of quantitative and qualitative research. Introducing Zinc Network For over fifteen years, Zinc Network has been helping clients navigate complex challenges at the intersection of security, technology, and behaviour change. Working in partnership with a global network of media, communities, and influencers, we help clients understand the most complex issues, design behavioural interventions, create compelling campaigns, activate trusted grassroots networks, and evaluate impact. That’s what we do today for governments, NGOs, and private sector partners working on some of the toughest briefs: protecting children online, strengthening democratic resilience, and championing purpose-driven technologies and organisations. We’re now building Kora — our AI-powered platform that systematises this expertise into scalable technology, making interventions faster and more cost-effective whilst enabling clients and grassroots partners to design and deliver them independently. The world is becoming increasingly complex — with accelerating technology, evolving security threats, and shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics. That’s where you’ll find Zinc: tackling the trickiest challenges where these forces collide and driving impact on the issues that matter most.
