Hybrid Public Health Analyst en Impact Genome

Company Background

Impact Genome (“IG”) is a scale-up stage SaaS company that verifies the social impact of government programs, NGOs, and nonprofits. Our sector-first Impact Genome Registry has outcomes and cost benchmarks on 2.2M social programs, which Federal, State, and Local government agencies and Fortune 500 CSR teams use to measure results, research “what works”, and select social programs in which to invest. For social programs, we democratize evaluation, level the playing field, and reduce the burden by making outcomes reporting consistent and reusable. We aim to help decision-makers maximize the impact of every dollar spent on social change, shifting from “giving away money” to “investing in social outcomes.”

Job Overview

 IG is seeking an individual experienced in monitoring & evaluation (M&E) for nonprofits or government to join our team as a Public Health Analyst. This analyst should have prior M&E and/or policy analysis experience in nonprofits or government, with a focus on public health areas such as mental and behavioral health, healthcare access, and reproductive health. 

Our work spans programs in both developed and developing markets. This is a unique position for those interested in scaling the use of impact measurement at the intersection of nonprofit and funder, helping each make data-informed decisions that increase the potential for social change. The Public Health Analyst will use their evaluation expertise to help hundreds of nonprofits (large and small, in an equitable manner) report their annual results, verify and certify their outcomes, and will translate the impact of their programs for donors. The Public Health Analyst will also work with funders to quantify the impact of grant portfolios, surface new/small nonprofits that align with their values, and make funding decisions based on impact data (not overhead). For both, the Public Health Analyst will be an evaluator, advisor, advocate, analyst, and partner; success for this role is helping all users maximize the social impact of every dollar they spend.   

While the Public Health Analyst will not be conducting a formal program evaluation, they will be verifying self-reported nonprofit impact data utilizing Impact Genome’s research-based protocols, so formal knowledge of measurement design and program evaluation is essential. 

This role is mostly remote, with candidates in the Chicago, New York, or Washington, DC area highly preferred. This role offers a hybrid work option, meaning you can both work from home and commute to the nearby office, depending on what's best for you and when it is important for your team to be together. 

Responsibilities 

• Working directly with nonprofits to validate, verify, analyze, and critically interpret their self-reported impact data (a process we call Impact Verification™) with a lens toward equity; to build their capacity to define program outcomes and activities using IG standards; and to earn their trust and advocacy for our approach through responsive and empathetic email/phone/video engagement 
• Preparing and delivering standardized impact data (nonprofit impact scorecards, funder portfolio reports, and custom analyses) to nonprofits and funders, while innovating improvements to how we deliver impact data to increase usefulness for our users 
• Providing critical, objective insight and analysis to nonprofits and funders so they value our thought capital in addition to our data, and to help them maximize how they use IG data to achieve their mission and increase impact 
• Serving as a ‘philanthropic advisor’ to funders who seek assistance in ensuring they are allocating their grant dollars in a way that is equitable while maximizing social change 

• Minimum 3-5 years of experience in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) within a Public Health nonprofit, evaluation firm, or government agency  
• Required experience working with U.S.-based nonprofits and/or funders (as opposed to international)
• Ability to efficiently and accurately categorize the design, rigor, validity, and quality of implementation of a nonprofit’s measurement practices
