Role Summary
The Tony Blair Institute is recruiting an Analyst to provide research, analytical, and delivery support to TBI's embedded advisory teams working across Government of Rwanda institutions and the Country Director's Office. This is a generalist, entry-level role: the Analyst will be assigned to a specific project area based on Country Office and project team needs — which may span trade, investment, tourism, public finance, skills development, or other areas of Government priority — and will work closely with the Advisor or Manager leading that workstream, as well as the Country Director's Office.
No prior sector specialisation is required. The Analyst will bring strong foundational skills in research, data analysis, data, coordination, together with a can-do attitude, and will be expected to build sector-specific knowledge quickly on the job. This role suits an intellectually curious, structured, delivery-oriented early-career professional with a genuine willingness to learn, looking to build a career in government advisory or public sector delivery.
