Job description

Overview

Add expected salary to your profile for insights

Support the design, execution, and documentation of R&D programmes on Al and emerging technologies —by operationalising research protocols, coordinating pilot studies, and maintaining evaluation records—so that institutional experiments are credible, auditable, and contribute to sectoral innovation.

The position exists to translate research strategies into practice : administering data collection and analysis, drafting technical briefs, compiling evaluation reports, and ensuring that pilots and sandbox projects follow approved frameworks and deliver evidence-based outputs. In doing so, it provides continuity between experimental design, execution, and reporting, ensuring lessons learned are properly captured and communicated.

Functioning under the direction of the Senior Analyst (R&D Programmes), the role supports cross-functional collaboration with external vendors, academia, and internal divisions by preparing documentation, tracking progress, and maintaining repositories of research artefacts, tools, and outcomes.

Ultimately, the Executive (R&D Programmes) strengthens the Commission\'s innovation pipeline by ensuring that experimental activities are executed systematically, documented rigorously, and aligned with governance guardrails—thereby enabling MCMC to advance credible, scalable, and responsible technology adoption.
