ECMC Foundation is a Los Angeles-based, nationally focused foundation dedicated to improving higher education for career success among underserved populations through evidence-based innovation. The Foundation makes investments across three strategic priorities: removing barriers to postsecondary completion; building the capacity of institutions, systems, and organizations; and transforming the postsecondary ecosystem. It employs a spectrum of funding structures, including strategic grantmaking and program-related investments, to support both nonprofit and for-profit ventures. The Learning and Evaluation Officer will be part of a collaborative team that provides actionable information to inform decision-making about the Foundation's strategy. This role will engage in strategic discussions to identify goals for prioritized initiatives and measure progress towards these goals.

The ECMC Foundation team observes a hybrid work model, working in-office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with quarterly all-staff in-person meetings in Los Angeles. This position will be located in one of the office locations: Minneapolis, MN, Washington D.C. metro area, or Los Angeles, CA. Additionally, Learning and Evaluation Officers will travel domestically up to 25% of the time.
