    VACANCY – SENIOR QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH SPECIALIST

    MicroSave intends to recruit a Quantitative Specialist to join its consulting team in India or Kenya.

    The Specialist will be working on the Agent Network Accelerator Program (ANA), which is the largest research programme in the world looking at digital finance (mobile money and agent banking) from the supply-side. The programme is funded by the Gates Foundation and more recently the United Nations and focuses work on eleven key markets across Africa and Asia. The research conducted is primarily business analytics for the leading banks and telecoms in the industry. The ANA dataset is the first systematic attempt to derive quantitative benchmarks that help providers navigate the cost and complexity of building and managing a sustainable cash-in/cash-out (CICO) agent network across a broad geography. ANA aims to increase global understanding of how to build and manage successful CICO networks in some of the hardest operating environments in the world. The ANA project will analyse more than 25 agent networks in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Pakistan, (and likely Zambia, Senegal, and Benin as well) two to three times, over a period of 4 years. The research is then disseminated through The Helix Institute for Digital Finance.

    PLEASE NOTE THIS POSITION IS STILL OPEN - February, 2015
