Senior Impact Analyst

Senior Analyst – Impact

Smallholder farmers grow most of the world’s coffee and cocoa, yet they remain largely invisible to the supply chains they support and rarely share in the value they create. Enveritas exists to change that.

Enveritas measures and assesses sustainability of production on farms, and builds solutions and interventions to make smallholder agriculture more sustainable and improve farmer livelihoods. Working across more than 20 countries, we combine machine learning, remote sensing, and rigorous fieldwork to understand supply chain sustainability and farmer livelihoods, and use that knowledge to design and run interventions that move the needle. We are remote-first, with hubs in Uganda, New York, and beyond, and a dedicated team drawn from leading consultancies, tech companies, commodity traders, development organizations, and data science.

This is demanding, meaningful work — we’re looking for someone who gets energy from solving hard problems, working towards bold objectives and delivering measurable impact on the ground.

The role

As a Senior Analyst, you will identify, design, and drive interventions that improve outcomes for smallholder farmers and their communities. In practice, that means:

• Researching, analyzing, and quantifying the potential of solutions to sustainability challenges — with rigor, accountability, and a view to practical testing
• Assessing and developing candidate interventions and ideas across precision agriculture, sustainable livelihoods, carbon sequestration, microfinance, and related areas
• Leading the design, launch, and management of programs — piloting, partnering, monitoring, evaluating, and scaling what works
• Spending substantial time at origin, in smallholder communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, or Asia — to stay close to the work and the people it is designed to serve.
• Collaborating across the organization and with external partners and stakeholders to build the credibility and relationships that make change possible

Location

The role is primarily remote, but we expect significant presence at origin, particularly in Latin America,  East-Africa (or potentially SE Asia), in coffee/cocoa producing countries. Homebase at or near origin is preferred but can be discussed.   

What we’re looking for

We’ve hired people from McKinsey, from tech, from trading floors — what they share is intellectual rigor, operational drive, speed of execution and a genuine reason for being in this sector.

You likely have 2-6 years of experience, including:

• At least 2 years in a high-intensity environment: strategy consulting, finance/PE, a VC-backed start-up, or similar — where you’ve worked hard, been held to a high standard, and delivered results under pressure
• A university degree in science or engineering (preferred), and ideally 1–3 additional years of experience in a domain relevant to the role
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills; familiarity with large datasets; some knowledge of basic statistics and the scientific method; comfort with R, Python (including, increasingly, the ability to use AI tools to code and automate analyses). A background in quantitative scientific research is an advantage
• The ability to structure complex problems and communicate them clearly and succinctly — whether in a results deck, a partner meeting, or a conversation in the field

And equally:

• A ruthlessly positive attitude — the kind that lets you aim high, absorb setbacks, and keep moving when things don’t go to plan
• Motivated by the mission, making thedeliberate choice to pursue it
• Genuine appetite for fieldwork and the adaptability it demands

Compensation is competitive for the sustainability sector. We are a multicultural organization, we look to hire employees who reflect the communities we serve and we strongly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to apply.​ We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds that each individual brings.
