INTRODUCTION

Voluntās (Latin: will, goal, purpose, meaning) is an international consultancy on a mission to redefine how human potential is realized. Operating across fragile, conflict-affected, and transformative regions, Voluntās supports governments, donors, humanitarian actors, and international NGOs to make better, more sustainable decisions.

With clients ranging from UN agencies to civil society and bilateral donors, Voluntās operates at the intersection of policy, purpose, governance, peacebuilding, human rights, and public health. Their reach spans the Middle East, North Africa, East Africa, Eastern Europe, and South Asia, with core offices in Nairobi, Tunis, and Beirut.

Voluntās is now accepting applications for the International Analyst Program, a prestigious and purpose-driven opportunity for early-career professionals to immerse themselves in high-impact international development work.

ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL ANALYST PROGRAM

The International Analyst Program is a 12-month immersive, full-time fellowship designed to develop the next generation of analysts in the humanitarian, development, and social research sectors. Starting on August 1, 2025, this cohort will be based in one of Voluntās’ three operational hubs: Nairobi (Kenya), Beirut (Lebanon), or Tunis (Tunisia).

Participants will:

Be embedded in live projects from day one
Contribute to real-time problem-solving in complex environments
Receive structured mentorship and career guidance from senior consultants
Be exposed to clients, data, and fieldwork across fragile and conflict-affected settings

The program is designed not only to harness and sharpen analytical capabilities, but also to foster ethical leadership, deep purpose alignment, and holistic growth. Many past analysts have successfully transitioned into permanent roles at Voluntās or similar organizations.
