About The Position

The Strategic Impact Manager supports the organization’s ability to learn, adapt, and improve by coordinating impact-related initiatives across programs. The role focuses on ensuring that evaluation, learning, and improvement efforts are well-aligned, well-executed, and connected to decision-making. This is an early-mid manager role within a growing Strategy and Impact function, with scope expected to expand as the organization continues to strengthen its evaluation and learning infrastructure. This position has no direct reports, designed for someone with strong coordination and relationship-building skills who is interested in growing their capacity in evaluation, data-informed learning, and cross-functional leadership over time. The Strategic Impact Manager is expected to build skills in these areas while owning the day-to-day coordination that makes impact work possible. This role emphasizes cross-functional coordination over deep analytics ownership initially, with the expectation that the individual may grow into greater ownership of evaluation design and strategy over time (12–18 months, based on experience and performance).
