  • Support program evaluation, including assisting with evaluation design, tool development, data collection, data analysis, and outcomes presentation.
  • Communicate with both local and dispersed project team members to track progress and identify emergent project issues.
  • Regularly advise senior leadership on project status.
  • Conduct post-project evaluations, identify lessons learned, and apply lessons to future initiatives.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
  • At least three to five years of experience in a project management role required, with experience in a mission-driven work setting preferred.
  • Ability to coordinate project teams of various sizes and learning styles and to leverage individual strengths to see projects through to completion in a timely manner.
  • Impeccable organizational skills, with proficiency in and a passion for project management software, spreadsheets, timelines, and workflows.
  • Experience supporting the implementation of project or program evaluations.
  • Flexible work style to accommodate a range of team members and departments, often balancing multiple work streams, priorities, and relationships at once.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills to effectively align expectations among project teams and other stakeholders, including verbal and written communication, active listening, emotional intelligence, and an ability to overcome differences in understanding.
  • Talent for developing clear and polished informational materials (including emails, memos, diagrams, tables, and charts) to effectively convey project details to internal teams and external collaborators.
