Research / Senior Research Manager, Weather Data Systems (Weather Initiative)

Precision Development (PxD) is seeking a dynamic, creative, and self-motivated Research / Senior Research Manager, Weather Data Systems to join a high-performing team in India working on our weather initiative - a high-profile, fast-growing area of PxD's work with significant potential for impact and visibility. In this role, you will help design, test, evaluate, and scale evidence-based weather solutions for smallholder farmers, working closely with researchers, government partners, and cross-functional teams. We're looking for a proactive self-starter with strong research management skills, excellent stakeholder engagement abilities, and a passion for generating actionable evidence to improve program outcomes. While anchored in research and iterative learning, the role will work fluidly across programmatic, service delivery, and research functions - ensuring insights are embedded into program implementation, operational decision-making, and government-facing engagements. We're hiring for this role at either the Research Manager or Senior Research Manager level, determined based on the candidate's years of experience, demonstrated seniority, and scope of past responsibilities. This role suits someone who understands both the research side (what makes a forecast actionable) and the technical side (how to build a system that reliably gets it there), and who wants to build infrastructure rather than run a single one-off analysis.
