Economic Impact and Research Framework Lead

Economic Impact and Research Framework Lead Compensation: Part-time - Bi-weekly paid contract (2–3 months), with potential transition to full-time Start Date: Immediate Organization: The Cybernetic Economic Intelligence Foundation (CEIF) and Moneetize Context The Cybernetic Economic Intelligence Foundation (CEIF) is a nonprofit research organization focused on the design and evaluation of next-generation economic systems, incentive structures, and agent-based coordination. Moneetize is the applied outcome of this research: a consumer-facing agentic operating system delivered through a live, gamified economic platform. The system enables individuals to generate Agent-Based Income (ABI) through structured participation in real economic activity, with the objective of reducing long-term dependence on wages and personal credit while sustaining growth. In March, Moneetize will launch a pilot in partnership with the University of Toronto Fintech Association. This pilot represents the first real-world deployment of the system with live users, real incentives, and observable economic behavior in a non-live and gamified environment. This role exists to ensure the pilot can be evaluated not merely as a product or engagement test, but as an evaluation-ready delivery-infrastructure experiment. The Role We are seeking an Economic Impact and Research Framework Lead to design and operationalize the economic research, feedback, and evaluation architecture for the pilot. Your Primary Responsibility: To ensure that the pilot activity produces defensible, stakeholder-relevant evidence—grounded in delivery mechanics and participation-based income accrual, not speculative claims or engagement metrics alone. You will structure how data, behavior, and outcomes are interpreted in order to develop a qualified theory of impact that can be communicated credibly to product manufacturers and suppliers financial institutions and credit unions social venture and nonprofit partners (e.g. food banks) Core Mandate You are responsible for answering the following question: What economic claims can be responsibly made when income and purchasing power accrue as a structural byproduct of participation—rather than through recurring wage or benefit disbursement—based on observed pilot behavior? This includes framing ABI outcomes using delivery-mechanics language suitable for independent evaluation, such as persistence vs. reset cycles, liquidity stability between disbursements, and administrative and transactional friction, without implying entitlement change, investment exposure, or the creation of new benefits. Your work should support the broader thesis that participation-based delivery systems can mitigate negative externalities of wage- and credit-centric models, broaden economic inclusion without suppressing growth, and improve standards of living through aligned incentives rather than increased debt. Primary Responsibilities Designing the economic research framework for the pilot Defining impact hypotheses, variables, and measurement logic Structuring quantitative and qualitative feedback loops tied to ABI mechanics Establishing baselines, comparisons, and limitations appropriate to a pilot context Working with product, community, and narrative teams to ensure data capture supports evaluation needs Translating pilot outcomes into clear, disciplined narratives suitable for institutional and research audiences Your outputs will directly inform supplier and manufacturer value propositions financial-institution conversations around income stability, credit dependency, and risk social-venture partnerships focused on household resilience the CEIF’s ongoing research agenda Stakeholder-Focused Evaluation Design Your framework should enable credible analysis across three domains: Manufacturers and suppliers Predictability and planning signals Reduced volatility relative to transactional-only models Financial institutions and credit unions Evidence of reduced reliance on personal credit Indicators of income persistence and cash-flow stability Foundations for future participation- or income-linked structures (without premature product claims) Social venture and nonprofit partners Reduced dependency on recurring aid Improved liquidity stability between interventions Increased participation, dignity, and self-sufficiency Candidate Profile This role is well suited for someone with experience in: applied economics or economic research impact evaluation or policy‑adjacent pilots designing research in live, real‑world systems You are comfortable with: imperfect or bounded datasets distinguishing correlation from causation working closely with product, operations, and institutional stakeholders This role is not suited to candidates focused primarily on: ESG or impact storytelling without methodological rigor academic theory disconnected from execution reporting outputs without evaluation design Seniority level Entry level Employment type Contract Job function Finance and Sales Industries Technology, Information and Internet #J-18808-Ljbffr
