For the past 50 years, we have been making Positive Impact possible. With a team of more than 2,500 employees operating in 90 plus countries and a global network of more than 35,000 technical experts, Palladium has improved - and is committed to continuing to improve - economies, societies and most importantly, people's lives.

• Collaborating with Business Advisers to develop high-quality results chains and monitoring plans for each intervention, including support to business feasibility analyses.
  
• Updating monitoring plans, including expected results with latest information from the field and other sources and ensuring the Management Information System is kept up to date.
  
• Collecting high quality secondary research to support the development of new activities, including for example household statistics and export data.
  
• Designing field surveys and assisting in the collation and clean-up of data from fieldwork, including participating in field work as required.
  
• Supporting the annual aggregation of results by checking information and follow up on missing information.
  
• Supporting completion of risks assessments, due diligence assessments and safeguard checks.
  
• Briefing new business partners on safeguards and mitigation techniques in line with Palladium’s Sustainable Development Policy.
  
• Assisting with the drafting of reports and other information on request.
