Help build the future of Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) at Human Economics
Human Economics is growing and we’re looking for an exceptional MEL leader to help shape what comes next.
This is a rare opportunity to join a values-led consultancy at a formative stage of growth and, working closely with the CEO, play a foundational role in building and leading our MEL practice.
As one of our first senior external hires, you’ll have the autonomy, influence and platform to create something meaningful: shaping strategy, winning exciting work, building a team, and embedding a genuinely human approach to evaluation and learning.
We believe MEL should help organisations learn, adapt and improve. That means combining methodological excellence with clarity, empathy and practical insight, producing work that clients genuinely value and use.
If you’re excited by the idea of building a high-quality, impactful MEL practice delivering high quality evaluations and the opportunity to help shape the wider company, within a collaborative, purpose-driven consultancy, we’d love to hear from you.

Since launching in 2019, we’ve built a strong reputation for thoughtful, high-quality work and trusted long-term partnerships. Having grown organically through an associate-led model, we are now entering an exciting new phase as we build our permanent team and scale our work.
You’ll join a collaborative senior leadership team and play a central role in shaping both our MEL offer and the future direction of the company itself.
The role

We’re now looking for a senior MEL expert to take this practice to the next stage -defining the offer, developing our MEL strategy, leading delivery, developing client relationships, winning new work, and building a team over time.
This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You’ll combine leadership, business development and thought leadership with direct involvement in delivering high-quality evaluations and learning frameworks.
