The role
As a senior consultant Policy Research and Evaluations within the Public Sector team, you will work on complex societal issues for ministries, executive agencies, and other public institutions. You will perform, among other things, policy analyses, evaluation research, and impact analyses, and investigate whether policy achieves its intended effects, which factors explain the results, and what possibilities exist to further improve policy.
What you'll do
- Carrying out policy research and evaluation processes within the public sector.
- Developing research designs, evaluation frameworks, and analytical methods.
- Performing qualitative, quantitative, and financial analyses.
- Investigating the effectiveness, efficiency, and feasibility of policy.
- Drafting and assessing business cases and social cost-benefit analyses (SCBAs).
- Translating research results into clear conclusions and concrete recommendations for clients.
- Advising ministries, executive agencies, and other public institutions on the functioning and improvement of policy.
- Independently executing substantive workstreams and supervising less experienced colleagues.
In practice, you will work together with colleagues on multiple trajectories simultaneously across the entire central government. This includes performing Periodic Reporting, reviews of ALIs (Administrative Law Institutions) or agencies, issues in the field of regulatory burden (reduction), or mapping the impact of government policy in a specific sector.
You combine a strong analytical foundation with a sense for societal and administrative issues. You work independently on projects and sub-projects, develop research designs, perform analyses, and collaborate in research teams. In doing so, you maintain intensive contact with the client, translate research findings into clear conclusions and concrete recommendations, and supervise less experienced colleagues.
How you'll work
- At KPMG we work hybrid, so a combination of both working from home and at the office.
