    Lead and support technical excellence and innovation in evaluation and research
    Contribute knowledge and expertise in the land, food and agriculture policy area
    Direct projects to support project managers in delivering projects to time and budget
    Manage and mentor staff and project teams, as appropriate
    Lead business development opportunities and build networks and partnerships
    Profile and promote ICF evaluation and research expertise and work

    You will contribute to a diverse range of large and complex consulting projects, directing and managing teams.

    ICF will provide you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills further through excellent training and development support, a structured career pathway, our mentoring programme, communities of practice and line management arrangements.

    You will have:
    A track record in delivering business growth and capacity building
    Proven experience of working with government at senior levels
    Expertise in policy evaluation, research and analysis
    Demonstrable knowledge and interest in land management, agriculture, food chain and environmental policies
