Data & Society is an independent nonprofit research organization studying the social implications of data-centric technologies and automation. We recognize that the same innovative technologies that may benefit society can also be abused to invade privacy, provide new tools of discrimination, foreclose opportunity, and harm individuals and communities. Through original research and inclusive engagement, we work to ensure that empirical evidence and respect for human dignity guide how technology is developed and governed.

The Role

Data & Society is seeking a Senior Researcher, AI Civics who is a subject-matter expert who will serve as a lead contributor on an ambitious, two-year program at Data & Society focused on civic action and community control over AI.

The AI Civics program is a newly-launched effort planning to amplify the tools of civic participation to help the public to directly shape the role that AI plays in society, surfacing civic tools the public can use to exert political power over AI systems and tech platforms at the community level. The program will co-create toolkits and training resources with anchor partner organizations, diffuses these resources through a train-the-trainer model, and builds towards a national civic coalition demanding democratic accountability over AI.

AI-native thinker

You believe AI fundamentally changes how research should be conducted, synthesized, and delivered. You’re already experimenting with AI in your own work and are excited to help define new methodologies rather than simply automate existing ones.

Builder

You thrive in zero-to-one environments. You’re comfortable creating structure from ambiguity, building teams, and establishing entirely new ways of working.

Methodology expert

You’re respected for your research expertise and know when to challenge conventional approaches. You balance methodological rigor with practical business outcomes.

Executive partner

You communicate complex research clearly, influence senior stakeholders, and build trusted relationships across customers, executives, and cross-functional teams.

Bonus

• Experience building or modernizing a research organization through AI-enabled workflows.

• Experience launching a new research practice, consultancy, or service line.

• Public speaking, publishing, or thought leadership within the market research industry.

• Experience working across both agency and client-side research organizations.

• Experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering teams to build research technology.

Inclusivity and Pay

At Maze, we are dedicated to building an equitable, inclusive, and authentic workspace. Unique and diverse perspectives are welcomed, and continuous growth is encouraged. We believe that people are more than their resumes, so if your past experience looks different than the criteria listed, we’d still love to hear from you. We appreciate and celebrate non-traditional life routes and encourage you to apply should you connect with a job description or the Maze culture.

Maze values transparency and it enables us to approach compensation equitably across the world. We are informed by data and regularly check our salary ranges (either United States or Rest of World) against other venture backed companies. Additionally, we are proud of our holistic and generous benefits offerings, included in every compensation package.

Your salary is dependent upon many factors, including years of experience, expertise, etc. During your first interview, you can expect to have an open conversation with your recruiter regarding your compensation expectations.

• $1,500 remote work setup fund to ensure you can set up a productive work space

About Maze

Maze is the user research platform that helps companies build the right products faster by making user insights available at the speed of product development.

In most companies, research demand far exceeds supply. Time, cost, and lack of access to expertise hold teams back. In today’s AI-powered world, anyone can build a product fast. The real challenge? Deeply understanding user needs and building the right product. That’s where Maze comes in.

We believe companies shouldn’t have to choose between building fast and building right. Maze makes research accessible, intuitive, and fast so product teams can put user insights at the center of every decision.

Our platform enables researchers, designers, and product managers to quickly recruit participants, run studies autonomously, and surface insights that actually drive product decisions. Our AI capabilities automate the busywork and add depth and direction to the insights themselves.

That’s why Maze was recently named the #1 user research platform in UX Tools’ Design Tools Survey—and why we’re scaling fast across industries like B2B SaaS, e-Commerce, Financial Services, Retail, and Automotive, supporting world class customers such as Uber, Amazon, Atlassian, Anthropic & more.

Maze is a Series B company backed by top-tier investors (Felicis, Emergence & Amplify). We operate a global remote workforce driven by our core values.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Background and Context

The African Centre for School Leadership (ACSL) was established in 2021 to transform school leadership systems across Africa. The Centre’s mission is to collaborate with governments and regional institutions to provide high-quality, contextualised professional development services, conduct research, and offer policy advice to enhance school leadership, teaching, and student outcomes. By developing school leaders and improving educational practices, ACSL seeks to foster positive changes in the education sector, enhancing learning environments, student well-being, and overall academic quality at national and Pan-African levels. Further details about ACSL can be found on the ACSL website (African Centre for School Leadership).

 

ACSL functions as a coalition of regional and in-country partners implementing donor-funded projects, and four key Pan-African organisations coordinate it: the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), Education Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA), the Forum of African Women Educationalists (FAWE), and VVOB – Education for Development. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, ACSL launched the Foundation Phase Project (2023-2024), which spanned Rwanda, Kenya, and Ghana. This initiative focused on two central themes: the intersection of gender and school leadership and the emerging Ubuntu leadership model. These areas guided the Centre's work in promoting inclusive, innovative, and collaborative school leadership practices across the continent. 

 

ACSL is actively engaged in implementing the Leaders in Teaching (LIT) LEAD pillar across Tanzania, Malawi, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. This initiative focuses on strengthening the leadership capacities of secondary school leaders to foster more effective teaching and learning environments. By 2030, the programme aims to benefit over 14,493 secondary schools, including both public and non-state institutions, in LIT expansion countries and throughout the Pan-African region.  

 

Through targeted School Leadership Professional Development (SLPD), school leaders will be better equipped to support teachers and drive improvements in student learning outcomes. The initiative is expected to affect approximately 4,853,564 students enrolled in secondary education. 

 

The initiatives of ACSL-LIT-Lead concentrate on four key areas:  

    1. Supporting the development and reform of evidence-based policies and frameworks for school leadership. 

    2. Supporting the delivery of professional development programmes for school leaders. 

    3. Researching to generate insights on school leadership effectiveness.  

    4. Promoting communication and advocacy to disseminate lessons and enhance sector coordination.

 

ACSL aims to improve learning outcomes and reduce gender and equity disparities in education through enhanced school leadership practices. 

Purpose of the Consultancy 

The Centre seeks to engage an African-led consortium of institutions to provide coordinated technical leadership, methodological rigour, and independent analysis to support the design, implementation, synthesis, and cross-study learning across six potential studies. Further details on the studies can be found: ACSL Impact Studies - Concept Note.

The purpose of this engagement is for the consortium of institutions to: 

• Provide independent technical lead for the design and implementation of the ACSL’s six impact studies. 

• Ensure methodological coherence, quality assurance, and alignment with ACSL’s Theory of Change and the outcomes of the ADEA Triennale in 2025 (See the detailed concept note referenced above for more information; pages 35 to 44).  

• Apply contribution-focused, mixed-methods, and Afrocentric analytical approaches across the portfolio. 

• Generate high-quality evidence products to inform learning, policy influence, and the sustainability of the Centre. 

Required Qualifications and Experience 

Given the multi-country scope, cross-cutting thematic focus, and technical complexity of the six interrelated studies, ACSL strongly encourages applications from qualified consortia of organisations rather than single entities. Applicants are therefore encouraged to form consortia that strategically combine complementary expertise. 

 

ACSL requires the consortium to be African-led. The lead institution must be legally registered and headquartered in Africa, with demonstrated experience leading multi-country evaluation portfolios on the continent.  

 

The consortium model should clearly demonstrate: 

• Defined and complementary roles among partners. 

• Clear governance and coordination arrangements. 

• Mechanisms for quality assurance and methodological coherence across studies. 

• Efficient financial management and accountability structures. 

• Designation of a lead institution responsible for overall portfolio coordination and primary contractual engagement. 

 

Additionally, the consortium team collectively should demonstrate: 

• Proven experience in school leadership and/or education systems evaluation, preferably in Africa. 

• Strong expertise in school leadership, professional development, and policy reform. 

• Demonstrated use of mixed-methods, contribution analysis, and systems evaluation. 

• Experience with gender-transformative and equity-focused research. 

• Strong understanding of Afrocentric and contextually grounded leadership models. 

• Ability to manage multi-country, multi-study evaluation portfolios. 
• Excellent analytical writing and knowledge translation skills. 

Scope of Work

ACSL expects the consortium of institutions to possess complementary expertise, where each member leads or co-leads specific studies aligned with its demonstrated core strengths. The consortium must collectively demonstrate the capacity to deliver all six studies and present a clear framework for executing them as a coherent portfolio, including defined approaches to sequencing, methodological alignment, cross-study learning integration, and quality assurance.  

 

Applicants are advised that the methodology presented in the concept note is indicative and may be used as a guiding framework.  

 

Study Coverage: 

1. Study 1: School leadership practice, data use, and learner outcomes (Tanzania). 

2. Study 2: Gender, equity, and social inclusion in school leadership (Pan Africa & Tanzania). 

3. Study 3: Policy and institutionalisation of school leadership professional development (Pan Africa & Tanzania). 

4. Study 4: Effectiveness of school leadership professional development (Pan Africa & Tanzania). 

5. Study 5: Research capacity, blended learning trajectories, and evidence use (Pan Africa & Tanzania). 

6. Study 6: Collaboration, networks, and formative assessment for ACSL Centre establishment (Pan Africa & Tanzania).

• Ensure Afrocentric, gender-responsive, and context-sensitive frameworks are embedded across studies.
• Define clear leadership and technical responsibilities among consortium members for specific studies, while establishing mechanisms for portfolio-level coordination and coherence

 2. Methodological Implementation Support

• Lead the longitudinal, mixed-methods, and contribution-based evaluation approaches through designated lead institutions within the consortium. 

• Embark on network mapping, policy analysis, institutional readiness assessment, and professional development effectiveness analysis. 

• Ensure ethical standards, data protection, and safeguarding protocols are applied. 

• Provide technical oversight to fieldwork coordination (working with partners). 
  

3. Data Analysis and Synthesis

• Analyse quantitative and qualitative data across studies under coordinated leadership arrangements within the consortium. 

• Conduct cross-study triangulation and synthesis. 

• Generate contribution narratives explaining how ACSL interventions influence observed outcomes. 

• Support intersectional analysis (gender, location, disability etc.). 

• Establish internal quality assurance processes to ensure methodological consistency across consortium-led studies. 
  

4. Learning, Adaptation, and Knowledge Translation

• Produce learning briefs and adaptive management insights. 

• Support policy dialogue processes and learning convenings. 

• Collaborate with ACSL to translate findings into policy briefs, practice notes, and advocacy-ready products. 

• Ensure structured cross-learning between consortium members to inform adaptive programme refinement. 

5. Portfolio-Level Integration

• Ensure coherence and complementarity across the six studies. 

• Produce an integrated impact and learning synthesis. 

• Share how the six study outputs will feed into a unified portfolio-wide evidence and learning framework to inform ACSL learning, policy dialogue, and programme adaptation. 

Key Deliverables

• Level of effort will be phased and agreed during inception, with peaks during design, midline reviews, and final synthesis with clear allocation of responsibilities across consortium members. 

 

Reporting and Coordination

• The institution/firm/consortium that is awarded the contract will report to the Senior Research Evaluation and Impact Manager at ESSA, with a dotted line to the ACSL Head of Research. 

• Work will be coordinated closely with ACSL partners (ADEA, ESSA, FAWE, VVOB, Education for Development) and national stakeholders. 

• Agreed timelines for progress updates and learning check-ins will be required. 

• The consortium must demonstrate a clear internal governance structure to ensure effective coordination and accountability.
