About the Strategic Initiatives team

The Strategic Initiatives team works with Evidence Action’s Chief of Staff to support Evidence Action’s CEO, Kanika Bahl, as she leverages her time to maximum impact. We take on exciting cross-team, cross-program, and cross-geography projects that have strategic impact for the organization. Our team is responsive and we learn a lot as we “flex” to meet the needs of our rapidly growing organization. Ongoing or previous projects tackled by this team have been mapping-out and upgrading our recruitment and selection systems and processes, coordinating global team work to enter new countries, and creating a new process to prioritize program opportunities for fundraising.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Special projects: lead the development and execution of critical organizational initiatives. These will vary based on shifting priorities but may include:
    • Support the launch of innovative new programs;
    • Supporting priority programmatic needs as they arise, such as coordinating our Global Team support to our largest-ever Safe Water program currently in pilot in India;
    • Strategic recruitment efforts, including sourcing of candidates, interviewing and onboarding;
    • Optimization of internal knowledge management, information sharing, and communications practices to enable a growing matrixed organization.
  • Support Global Leadership Team meetings and conferences and Board-level processes and meetings; including scheduling, agenda and content generation (in coordination with senior leadership), and project management of preparation for Global Leadership Team decision-briefs;
  • Executive-level presentations: create proposals and other materials for Evidence Action internal leadership meetings, team-wide strategic processes, and donor- and partner-facing engagements, pulling in information from across the organization;
  • Management of quarterly and annual objectives and key results (OKRs) processes in coordination with our Chief Operating Officer;
  • Project manage and track organization-wide and cross-functional initiatives that enable strategic “leaps” in organizational performance and readiness for growth, such as investments in new systems and processes;
  • Drive progress on initiatives across a variety of internal and external stakeholders in a highly matrixed environment.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, Public Administration, Public Policy or related degree;
  • 2-4 years of experience in management consulting, internal-facing consultant-type roles, or chief of staff-type roles.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills; proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously, which require inputs from multiple stakeholders;
  • Experience in real time problem solving, as part of smaller cross cutting teams and adept at using an analytical and entrepreneurial approach to trade risks with rewards and support innovation;
  • Experience in effectively communicating with, presenting to, and managing a variety of stakeholders;
  • Advanced executive-level writing and presentation development skills, including exceptional skills in Word and PowerPoint or Google Docs;
  • Ability to develop strategic recommendations based on qualitative and quantitative analysis;
  • Able to work within a matrixed, complex organizational structure;
  • Desire to get hands-dirty and take on priority tasks;
