Stanford Impact Labs

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Stanford Impact Labs is looking for an Impact & Learning Manager to join its Investments team as we work to put social science to work for society. SIL is aiming to reshape how Research and Development (R&D) can make progress on the world’s most pressing social challenges, but blazing a new trail requires knowing where we’re headed and how we’ll know when we get there. The Impact & Learning Manager will play a critical role in using data & evidence to drive SIL’s investment strategy, while building out and executing on a nimble approach to impact measurement. This role reports to the Director of Investments & Accountability at a unique time for our investments — as our portfolio of investments in teams matures and the social science we’ve funded is beginning to be put to use. You’ll be tasked with understanding the extent to which SIL’s investments are on track to significantly improve people’s lives at scale.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD and come with experience at the intersection of advanced research methods, meta-science, science of scaling, or related fields and bring a commitment to impact with a rigorous yet practical mindset.
