Junior Consultant: Project Management Talent Pool Application

Role overview

This is a contract-based, remote position supporting project coordination, research, reporting, and analysis across Kaya Development's current and future consultancy assignments. Day to day, the role spans project-planning assistance, deliverable tracking, document preparation, stakeholder communication, desk research, and proposal development.

It is an entry point into project management and development consulting — a chance to work on assignments delivered for international organizations, government agencies, and private-sector clients.

• Support monitoring, evaluation, and learning tasks
• Help ensure project delivery meets client expectations

Candidate profile

We are looking for curious, reliable, detail-oriented people who are comfortable working in a remote setting.

An interest in international development, project management, institutional capacity building, or humanitarian programming is strongly encouraged.

Required skills & languages

• Excellent English proficiency (strongly preferred)
• Turkish knowledge (preferred)
• Spanish, German, French, or Italian (advantageous)
• Proficiency with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Familiarity with Google Workspace, Teams, Zoom, Trello, and Notion

Independent consultants are responsible for managing their own tax, insurance, and statutory obligations.
