Washington, United States Hiring Now! Full time
The Foundation

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we're committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

The Team
Our Economic Mobility and Opportunity (EMO) team works with local and state governments and policymakers, small and medium-sized businesses, community and advocacy organizations, funders, and researchers to help increase long-term economic security for people in the U.S. earning low incomes. Our focus population is the 47 million people ages 16 to 64 whose annual incomes are below 200% of the federal poverty level, which translates to $27,180 for an individual and $55,500 for a family of four as of 2022.

The Economic Mobility and Opportunity strategy has three pillars:

* Making Lives Better Now: Work to address the immediate needs of our focus population by supporting the creation and use of tools that help individuals and families access safety net benefits and tax credits as well as connect employers with skilled workers.

* Public Good Creation and Dissemination: We provide tools, insights, and resources to local governments, businesses, and organizations to help them create more opportunities for people living in poverty to achieve economic success.

* Critical Enablers: We collaborate with government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, funders, and others to increase the flow of capital, facilitate learning, and advance shared goals in a way that builds momentum around efforts in our two other focus areas.

Note: This is a 12-month limited-term position. Relocation will not be provided. The application deadline is Sunday, June 23, at 11:59 PM PDT.

Your Role

  • The Program Officer, Employer Engagement is responsible for advancing the execution of an investment plan within EMO's Employer Engagement Body of Work (BOW).

  • A strong candidate will bring to this role a deep understanding of the incentives and perspectives of employers in the labor market, including large, mid-size, and small businesses. You will also need strong relationship management skills to engage and collaborate with a wide variety of partners, high-level grant management skills, and experience with program monitoring and evaluation. In the fall and winter of 2024, you will participate in the foundation's Strategy and Portfolio Review cycles, communicating the Employer Engagement BOW's impact-to-date and strategic path ahead to foundation leadership.
