Description

Stanford Impact Labs:

Stanford Impact Labs (SIL)—a major new initiative at Stanford University—invests in highly-motivated teams of researchers and practitioners from government, business, nonprofit organizations, and philanthropy.

These teams—impact labs—work together on complex social problems.

With our support, they can develop, test, and scale new solutions to social problems that affect millions of people worldwide.


The Innovation & Partnerships team works closely with the Investments & Accountability team at SIL to support funded research teams and their external partners through workshops, direct coaching, the facilitation of innovation processes, and building sustained partnerships with organizations in the public and social impact sector that can help teams scale their insights.

This team also works closely with Stanford University's Office of Community Engagement to deepen the university's place-based approaches to address critical issues in the region in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.


ABOUT THE ROLE
Stanford Impact Labs seeks a Partnerships Program Manager to: 1) develop and execute strategies that help SIL and our impact labs strengthen partnership-based approaches to advance social impact; and 2) deliver training and coaching to impact labs on partnership strategies and community engagement practices with an equity lens.


Reporting to the Director of Innovation & Partnerships, this role will be responsible for the day-to-day planning, coordination, and implementation of partnership-based strategies and programming at Stanford Impact Labs.

They will collaborate as a thought partner with the Innovation & Partnerships Director — and alongside other colleagues at SIL — and will be responsible for giving detailed attention to partnerships-based strategies to bridge SIL scholars and funded research teams with enabling partners to advance social impact locally, nationally, and globally.


The Partnerships Program Manager's responsibilities include:

Partnership development and management


Develop and maintain a portfolio of institutional and individual relationships for SIL to strengthen our ability to partner equitably with communities to put social science to work for society.


  • Develop pathways for SIL, our scholars, and our impact labs to learn from those in social movement leaders/coalitions, government agencies and their associations, nonprofit organizations, and social impact leaders in the private sector.
  • Work closely with the Office of Community Engagement to build out a sustainable universitywide approach to placebased, enterprise efforts to address the racial wealth gap in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
  • Organize and facilitate an emerging collaborative of public and private colleges and universities acting collectively using the anchor mission framework to advance health equity and racial justice in the region.
  • Support maintenance of a database of referral organizations and potential enabling and scaling partners for SIL funded labs' research insights and evidencebased interventions
  • Work closely with the Communications & Outreach team at SIL to implement a recurring communications plan to keep external stakeholders informed and aware of SIL's thought leadership in putting social science to use for society.
  • Attend conferences and convenings to stay abreast of social impact trends affecting historically marginalized populations, particularly within SIL's thematic windows: health equity, democracy and polarization, economic opportunity, and racial justice.

Training and coaching on partnerships and community engagement practices


Working closely with the rest of the Innovation & Partnerships team, design and deliver capacity building offerings to scholars and impact labs on best practices in partnership development and management, community engagement practices with a community power-building lens, and collaborations that advance equity in social science research.


  • Facilitate virtual and inperson workshops for scholars and impact labs.
  • Deliver coaching to advise scholars, research teams, and practitioner partners.
  • Foster a sense of belonging, trust, and respect with scholars, research teams, and practitioner partners through active listening, empathy, and validation of diverse perspectives.
