    Description
    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 is simple: help the world shift from "giving money away" to investing in proven outcomes that create the maximum possible social good.
    Job Overview
    Want to change how the world invests in job readiness and training? Impact Genome is hiring a Workforce Development M&E Specialist to help transform how nonprofits and funders measure and use impact data.
    We're looking for someone creative, ambitious, and entrepreneurial who wants to represent workforce development expertise in the field. You'll dive deep into areas like job-specific skills gap, economic mobility, and unemployment. Along the way, you publish insights from IG's unique dataset, share findings with sector stakeholders, and advise clients one-on-one on how to maximize the impact of every dollar they spend.
    Day to day, you'll help nonprofits report and verify their results in a consistent, trusted way and support funders in evaluating grant portfolios and discovering new organizations. You'll verify outcomes using IG's research-based protocols, translate program results into clear stories for donors, and ensure evaluation is fair and accessible for organizations of all sizes.
    Because this role focuses on U.S. programs, strong knowledge of the U.S. workforce development landscape is essential. If you're excited to use data to drive smarter decisions, shape conversations in workforce development, and spark greater social change, we'd love to have you on our team.
    We offer a flexible hybrid model, combining in-office collaboration with the convenience of working from home. Candidates should be based near Chicago, New York, Toronto, or Washington, DC.
    Responsibilities

    • Work directly with nonprofits to review and verify their reported impact (a process we call Impact VerificationTM) ensuring fairness, clarity, and reusability.
    • Build trust with nonprofits through responsive, empathetic communication by email, phone, and video.
    • Create and deliver impact reports-such as nonprofit scorecards and funder portfolio summaries-and improve how results are shared to make them more useful.
    • Provide clear analysis and practical recommendations that help funders direct their dollars toward programs that drive the greatest impact.
    • Publish insights from IG's dataset and share findings with the broader workforce development field through reports, briefs, or presentations.
    Requirements
    • Entrepreneurial mindset with ambition, flexibility, and the desire to make meaningful contributions to the workforce development sector
    • Direct experience working with U.S. nonprofits and/or funders (domestic focus required)
    • 3-5+ years of experience in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) within a workforce development nonprofit, evaluation firm, or government agency
    • Ability to assess the design, rigor, and quality of nonprofit measurement practices
    • Ability to turn data into concise, digestible, professional reports for clients or public use
    • Comfortable pushing stakeholders to think differently; is both empathetic and persuasive
    • Confident public speaker with experience leading training sessions online or in person
    • Self-starter who owns tasks fully and thrives in a fast-paced environment
    • Alignment with IG's core values: Passionate for Social Impact, Rigorous, Relatable, Commercial Minded, and Willingness to Challenge Convention
    Nice to Have
    • Advanced degree in public policy, economics, evaluation, or related field
    • Familiarity with public sector agency decision-making processes and funding practices
    • Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI) to bring insights to life
    • Experience publishing research, briefs, or articles in workforce development or evaluation fields
    Compensation & Benefits
    • $80,000-$90,000 starting salary with potential for rapid growth
    • Healthcare, including dental and vision
    • Discretionary PTO & vacation
    • 401(k) plan
