Laterite is looking for a new Research Analyst with an understanding of data analysis and a strong motivation to work in social and economic research to join our office in Dar es Salaam. This role combines research design, data analysis, project management support, and fieldwork coordination in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

This position is open exclusively to Tanzanian nationals.

WHO WE ARE

Laterite is a data, research, and analytics firm working on complex development challenges. We partner with universities, global think tanks, international NGOs, multilateral donors, and government ministries. Our clients include the World Bank, TechnoServe, the Mastercard Foundation, and others.

We operate across the Netherlands, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Peru, with 90+ full-time staff and more than 2,000 enumerators. We believe meaningful impact requires being on the ground, building local teams, and establishing long-term trust. Our office culture is collaborative and gives people autonomy to grow into their roles.

THE ENVIRONMENT YOU’RE STEPPING INTO

You will join our Tanzania team in a high-trust environment. We are low on bureaucracy but high on individual accountability. You won’t be micromanaged here—we want you to use your judgment to solve problems, support our fast-paced field teams, and actively improve the systems you work with.

While based in our Dar es Salaam office, you will support Laterite’s Uganda team, contributing to projects in both countries.
