  • Evidence Action has grown quickly and is institutionalizing its operating rhythm.
  • You think systematically about where automation and AI can strengthen a workflow, and where people are essential to it.

Responsibilities

  • Much of what this role will oversee will not exist when you arrive, or exist in an early form to build upon, and you will be expected to design it, staff it, and oversee the maintenance of it rather than carry it indefinitely.
  • How You Will Make an Impact Board Strategy and Executive Management Own board meeting preparation end to end: agenda design, materials, and follow-up tracking.
  • Partner with the CEO on board strategy: how to sequence what comes to the board, how to frame the strategic narrative, and how to manage relationships between meetings.
  • Manage the cadence, purpose, and follow-through of Global Leadership Team meetings to produce decisions and hold their outputs through to completion.
  • Driving and Informing the CEO's Agenda Turn the CEO's priorities into owned, dated, tracked commitments across a global senior team, and drive follow-through without escalating every time.
  • Support the development and maintenance of a clear map of who decides what across executive and director levels, in regions and globally, and surface where that is breaking down.
  • Strategy Implementation and Operating System Support the strategy refresh change management, helping teams navigate shifts in roles, structure and ways of working.
  • Build and maintain a standing progress dashboard so the board, executives and staff see a clear picture of performance over time.
  • Translate strategic direction and operating system into workstreams the team can execute and time-limited special projects, and develop the team into strong generalist strategists.

Requirements

  • A track record of operating with significant autonomy: bringing well-formed proposals forward and driving them to completion, rather than waiting for direction.

  • Experience in sub-Saharan Africa or India is an advantage.
  • Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. for roles based in the U.S.

Compensation

  • Build and run the cadence that keeps strategy alive: quarterly business reviews, annual OKR development and quarterly tracking, KPI reporting, and an annual refresh process.
  • The expected pay range for this role is $125,000 - $165,000 per year.

Benefits

  • Pay and benefits will be commensurate with the role specifications, local statutory requirements, and the cost of labor in the markets where we operate.
