Washington, United States Share Our Strength Full time

Since 1984, Share Our Strength has led the fight against hunger and poverty by inspiring and organizing individuals and businesses to share their strengths. Today, through the No Kid Hungry campaign, Share Our Strength is ending childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need. No child should go hungry in America – we’re on our way to making that a reality and we want you to join us. We’re bold, creative, always open to new ideas, and 100% dedicated to our mission. If that sounds like you, we’d like you to consider becoming part of our team.

The Senior Research Manager is responsible for developing, managing, and conducting research and evaluation projects to support Share Our Strength’s programmatic and policy priorities. In the short term, research will primarily focus on understanding the implementation and impact of the new USDA Summer Nutrition for Kids (SUN) Programs. To this end, the Senior Research Manager will collect, synthesize, and articulate opportunities to improve program access and experience. Additionally, the Senior Research Manager will create resources to summarize existing research and help our program partners and external stakeholders understand the implications of it on their work. The Senior Manager will also support other teams with answering research and data questions or supporting their research needs. The Senior Research Manager will support the team’s efforts to develop and cultivate relationships with external researchers to partner on joint research and identify opportunities to make external research more actionable to the field. In carrying out all of the above job responsibilities, the Senior Research Manager will support and center Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, including but not limited to: creating opportunities to incorporate diverse perspectives, considering populations experiencing greater inequities, and implementing equitable and inclusive approaches in research.

This position is preferably based in Washington, DC (Hybrid-2 days per week), but could be fully remote for the right candidate living outside of the DC area 30 miles or more. The position offers a salary range of $81k-$87k. Exact compensation within the stated salary range may vary based on skills, experience, internal equity, and geographical location.

  • Develop tools and methods to gather and synthesize learnings on implementation of program strategies, to identify successes and opportunities for future improvements.
  • Develop and administer surveys.
  • Create research summaries and resources for stakeholders, and disseminate evidence through various channels, translating complex issues to non-research audiences.
  • Review existing research and data sources to keep abreast of current evidence and data. Explain or articulate research evidence or program data to inform strategy and help internal teams (Communications, Funder Support, State Campaigns, or Advocacy teams) know how to use the research and apply the learnings to their work.
  • Manage third-party research initiatives and disseminate findings to develop strategy, inform program and policy implementation, and/or demonstrate impact.
  • Support and cultivate relationships with researchers focused on similar or related programs.
  • Partner with colleagues to support Share Our Strength's work to be a diverse and inclusive organization, and ensuring this value is embedded in the organization and throughout our work.
  • Less than 10% travel.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Master’s degree required, in Public Health, Public Policy or a related field, with a focus on social science research and evaluation preferred.
  • 5-8 years of related work experience.
  • Demonstrated experience in applied research and evaluation design, execution, or oversight.
  • Demonstrated experience gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing qualitative and/or quantitative data for applied purposes. Experience with Excel, SPSS Statistics, Atlas.ti, Condens, or other analytical platforms. Experience with survey platforms a plus.
  • Demonstrated experience articulating and disseminating research to influence policy and/or program recommendations, including tailoring communication approaches to the audience.
  • Experience managing vendors or consultants.
  • Experience, interest, and commitment to centering equity, diversity, and inclusion in carrying out job responsibilities.

COMPREHENSIVE BENEFIT PLAN:
We offer a comprehensive benefits plan which currently includes, but is not limited to, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, retirement, wellness benefits, and paid time off (vacation leave, sick leave, personal leave, holiday, parental leave, bereavement leave, military leave, and jury duty leave).

DIVERSITY:

At Share Our Strength, we value an individual’s diversity of backgrounds, experiences, ideas and perspectives. A hallmark of our history, culture and values has been the organization’s desire to bring together motivated, intelligent, and talented people to work together to find and implement solutions to end hunger and poverty in the U.S. and abroad. We each come to Share Our Strength with a unique background, but together we form a team that yields amazing results. This shared value of encouraging and embracing diversity in our organization fosters a workplace and culture that is highlighted for its innovation, open expression of ideas, and collaboration. With a strong shared commitment to the organization’s mission, and a unique blend of individual strengths, we are all working toward ensuring that every individual can live a healthy and productive life.
