About the Role

To advance Understood's mission and further our impact, we are hiring a Senior Manager, Evaluation and Research, reporting to our Associate Director, Applied Research & Evaluation. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in research or evaluation with a passion for Developmental and Utilization-focused Evaluation.

We work hard to ensure that all we do is evidence-informed, expert-vetted, and effective, because that's what our audience deserves.

This is a hybrid opportunity, which requires three (3) days per week in our office.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop logic models, theories of change, outcomes frameworks, and equity frameworks as part of the evaluation process.
  • Monitor an initiative's progress compared to expectations in real time.
  • Conduct and, as needed, coordinate utilization-focused evaluation using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches.
  • Generate research-based insights that help the team evolve programs and products for increased impact.
  • Support the evaluation of external products and programs from other organizations, including apps, school-based interventions, and non-profit programs.
Requirements
  • Advanced degree in public health, psychology, education, or related field.
  • 4+ years of professional experience in program evaluation and/or research as well as experience working in an applied industry setting outside of academia.
  • Experience leading a full lifecycle evaluation or research project and can speak to the work that you owned.
  • Strong experience collecting, cleaning, and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data.
  • Strong analytical skills and experience with data-driven decision-making.
  • Strong agility in adjusting methods and approaches based on time and resource constraints.
  • Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across all levels and functions of the organization.
  • Comfortability with working in an agile environment.
  • Committed to embodying and being a steward of our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Background in mental health and wellness, especially related to neurodiversity.
  • History of peer-reviewed publishing.
  • Experience in a digital setting.
Compensation and Benefits

The base salary range for this role is minimum $115,000-$135,000 maximum, depending on years of experience and qualifications. We offer a comprehensive benefits package that supports wellness for our team members and their families.
