JOB OVERVIEW

A global boutique firm specializing in executive search and strategic advisory services is undertaking a multi-country research initiative focused on religious dynamics across Africa. As part of this broader program, the current phase seeks to deliver an in-depth analysis of evangelical sociopolitical dynamics within Ghana. This is a contract, project-based engagement, ideal for a highly analytical and context-aware researcher who can provide nuanced insights into how evangelical movements operate within formal and informal systems of influence, while situating Ghana’s landscape within wider regional trends where relevant. The selected researcher will lead the Ghana-focused component of the project, delivering a comprehensive and well-structured analysis of evangelical organizations and their interaction with governance frameworks, power structures, and digital ecosystems. This role demands a strong blend of academic rigor and practical insight, with the ability to translate complex sociopolitical dynamics into clear, actionable intelligence for an international client.
