Analytical consultant with a strong social science profile

DGI works strategically to strengthen its position as a sports organization and societal actor, both locally and nationally. Knowledge, analysis, evaluation and learning play a central role in qualifying decisions, developing programs and initiatives, and assessing whether what we do creates the desired change.

We are seeking an analysis consultant for the Department of Analysis, Evaluation & Learning. Here you will have a central role in evaluating some of DGI's larger programs and strategic initiatives and become an important professional sparring partner for colleagues across the organization.

About the position

A substantial part of your tasks will be to design and conduct evaluations of DGI's programs and initiatives. You should be proficient in the social science toolbox with particular focus on quantitative methods, and you should be able to move confidently from problem statement and purpose to study design, data collection, analysis, conclusions and communication.

Questionnaire surveys will be an important tool in your work, and you can translate complex issues into relevant questions and measures. At the same time you have a broad methodological understanding and can assess which methods best illuminate the questions the organization needs answers to. You can take a critical stance on methodological choices and are able to adopt different perspectives in analysis and evaluation work. Finally, you can place analyses and evaluations in a strategic context and translate new knowledge into learning, recommendations and decision bases that create value for the organization.

You will become part of a professionally strong and engaged team of five consultants who work with analysis, evaluation and learning across DGI. We help each other in daily work, and you will have good opportunities to influence both your own tasks and our collective professional work.

Your tasks will include, among others

• designing and conducting evaluations of DGI’s programs and strategic initiatives.
• developing and conducting questionnaire surveys and translating problems and strategic goals into relevant evaluation questions and study designs.
• supporting and working with evaluations and follow-up of, among other things, projects, partnerships and municipal agreements.
• working with both quantitative and qualitative methods and combining different data sources when appropriate.
• translating results into clear conclusions and recommendations that can be used for learning, development and strategic decision-making.
• advising and sparring with colleagues and management on analyses, evaluations and investigations.
• collaborating with colleagues with different professional backgrounds and perspectives across DGI.

We imagine

That you have a social science educational background and a strong methodological toolbox. You work systematically with complex problems and can connect analytical thinking to the organization’s needs and strategic focus.

In addition, we would prefer that you

• have experience from a politically led organization
• have experience with questionnaire surveys from design to analysis and interpretation
• have a strong foundation in quantitative methods and experience with qualitative methods
• can translate complex analyses into clear insights and recommendations and produce targeted communication to relevant recipients
• can advise and spar with both colleagues and management

In DGI you will often work with colleagues with other professional starting points than your own. Therefore you must be able to maintain the analytical and methodological professionalism while being curious about other perspectives.

You must be able to explain and translate analytical choices so others can participate, and find good solutions together with colleagues who, for example, bring strong sports-technical or practice-oriented knowledge.

You thrive working across the organization, are curious and proactive, and want to contribute to the development of the department's professional practice, work methods and collaboration interfaces within the organization.

We offer

A meaningful position where you help shape DGI’s work with analysis, evaluation and learning. You will become part of a professionally strong community with engagement, collaboration, a high degree of independence and a high ceiling.

You will be employed at DGI’s National Office with the workplace in Vejle, two minutes’ walk from Vejle Station. The job involves travel activity throughout Denmark as well as the option for remote work and workdays at our regional offices.

In addition to salary, we offer pension, health insurance, good employee conditions, employee association, food and fruit scheme, and the possibility for staff fitness.
