Impact Evaluation Specialist

Apply Job Type Full-time, Contract Description Impact Evaluation Specialist Washington DC · Hybrid Impact Genome COMPANY BACKGROUND Impact Genome (IG) is a fast-growing SaaS company on a mission to change how the world measures social change. We verify the real-world impact of government programs, NGOs, and nonprofits, helping them prove what works and why. At the center of our work is the Impact Genome Registry, the first-ever database with outcomes and cost benchmarks from over 2.2 million social programs. Federal, state, and local agencies, as well as Fortune 500 companies, use it to track results, uncover “what works,” and invest where their dollars will have the greatest impact. For nonprofits, we make evaluation fair, consistent, and less burdensome, so they can spend more time creating change and less time on reporting. Our mission: help the world shift from “giving money away” to investing in proven outcomes that create the maximum possible social good.

You can spot a weak theory of change, and you know how to bring organizations along without losing their trust. You’ll work directly with government grant makers to evaluate grant portfolios, coach nonprofits and government programs on measurement and reporting integrity, and publish new learnings from the Impact Genome Registry. Over time, you’ll deepen IG’s point of view in the areas where your expertise is strongest. We work across a wide range of social sectors. Candidates with deep expertise in any of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply: Workforce Development & Skills Training: job readiness, skills gap, economic mobility, and employment outcomes Financial Inclusion: from financial access to long-term financial resilience Housing & Homelessness: from temporary shelter to permanent housing solutions Public Health: including mental health, reproductive health, addiction, healthcare access, and patient advocacy Education: including early childhood, K–12, post-secondary, and education policy Environment: climate resilience and adaptation, environmental justice, clean energy access, conservation, pollution reduction, and community sustainability Transportation: public transit access, mobility for underserved communities, infrastructure equity, and transportation safety Agriculture: food security, sustainable farming, rural economic development, farmworker support, and food access If you want a role where your…
