Impact Evaluation Lead: Data-Driven Social Change

Impact Genome; Washington (District of Columbia); Hybrid; USD 81.000 - 99.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Impact Genome seeks an Impact Evaluation Specialist to help lead rigorous outcome measurement for government grant makers and nonprofits. You’ll take part in assessing what programs report, coach on measurement integrity, and publish findings from the Impact Genome Registry across multiple social sectors.

You will work directly with funders, help strengthen theories of change, and contribute to a growing body of evidence that informs investment decisions.

Qualifikationen

• 4+ years of hands-on program evaluation or M&E experience with deep expertise in at least one social sector and meaningful time spent assessing what others report rather than just producing those reports yourself
• Experience working with government funders as you understand how public sector grant makers operate, what they need from evaluation, and how to translate findings into the accountability and investment decisions they make
• The ability to read an evaluation design and immediately know if it holds up (logic models, theories of change, data collection methods, outcome frameworks)
• Fluency in the program models, funding streams, evidence base, and key organizations shaping at least one social sector
• Credibility in front of senior government grant maker audiences and the coaching skills to bring a struggling nonprofit along without losing either one
• A self-starter orientation as you own things end-to-end, move without being pushed, and thrive when the path isn’t fully paved
• Alignment with IG’s core values: Passionate for Social Impact, Rigorous, Relatable, Commercial Minded, and Willingness to Challenge Convention

Aufgaben

• Verify and pressure-test how nonprofits and government programs measure and report outcomes: assessing rigor, feasibility, and comparability across programs using IG’s Impact Verification protocols
• Partner with government grant makers to evaluate grant portfolios, surface what’s working, and sharpen how evidence drives investment decisions
• Turn complex program data into clear, decision-ready intelligence: reports, scorecards, and portfolio analyses that change how government grant makers allocate resources
• Coach and upskill nonprofits and government programs on evaluation design and outcome reporting, raising the measurement bar across sectors over time
• Publish original insights from IG’s dataset: briefs, reports, and presentations that advance how your sector uses evidence
• Contribute to IG’s point of view on the sectors you know best such as how programs are classified, how outcomes are benchmarked, and what the data is telling us that others haven’t seen yet
