It is important to us that you use your application materials to clearly highlight ways in which your background and experience align with Bellwether’s core values, including our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as viewpoint diversity.

Bellwether is committed to providing equal opportunities.

Use your ability to develop innovative solutions to seemingly intractable problems and your policy expertise, project leadership, and people management skills to ensure young people achieve outcomes that lead to fulfilling lives and flourishing communities.

Senior Associate Partners at Bellwether bring a nuanced understanding of relevant issues in education, a keen strategic lens, strong analytical and writing capabilities, a strong network in the field of education, a sense of curiosity coupled with an ability to engage across lines of difference, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Content expertise paired with entrepreneurialism is particularly important given that Senior Associate Partners contribute to business development and the financial sustainability of the organization as well as the day-to-day management of Policy projects and teams. Senior Associate Partners are members of Bellwether’s leadership team and support Bellwether’s growth and functioning — both internally and externally. Given the national scope of Bellwether’s work and the organization’s flexible working style, professionals are able to work where they have built their lives. Approximately 20%-30% travel may be required.

Senior Associate Partners are education policy generalists who are called upon to manage projects covering a diversity of education topics. For this Senior Associate Partner role, we are specifically seeking individuals with a background in postsecondary finance and pathways policy, particularly at the state level. These content areas include, but are not limited to, policies governing the funding for public two- and four-year institutions of higher education. This role will work closely with Bellwether team members focused on postsecondary and pathways policy issues to lead and manage existing work primarily within these topic areas, with the remaining portion of the role focused on sourcing new opportunities to further our work and partnerships in this space and other core responsibilities of a Senior Associate Partner. 

About This Position

Bellwether’s Policy and Evaluation team undertakes both field-facing work, such as published reports and resources, and client engagements, in which we work with education organizations to help them answer their most pressing questions. The Senior Associate Partner may lead project teams to serve clients and the field, manage projects in collaboration with a project lead or adviser, provide direction to project analysts, serve as a team leader (often leading the development and managing the performance of individual team members as well as owning specific team initiatives on an ad hoc basis), contribute to business development (see below), and (specific to this SAP role) provide leadership and management of work focused on postsecondary finance and pathways issues.

In this context, the Senior Associate Partner’s primary responsibilities and dutieswill be to:

• Serve as project lead and/or project manager for a portfolio of Bellwether’s education policy work, sustaining and growing its best-in-class advising work and field-facing presence. In particular, this role will have a significant focus on postsecondary finance and pathways issues. Relevant topics include:
• State Postsecondary Finance — State funding policies supporting two- and four-year public institutions, including perspectives on opportunities for improvement to current state approaches in service of goals around student and institutional equity, adequacy, and value. 
• State Financial Aid — Policies and programs providing assistance to help students address the costs of postsecondary attendance, including perspectives on opportunities to address the diverse and changing needs of postsecondary students.
• Postsecondary Quality and Improvement — State approaches to ensuring quality across higher education institutions and programs, including perspectives on opportunities to facilitate improvement.
• Postsecondary Student Success — Approaches to identifying and supporting student success in meeting goals for academic progress, the completion of degrees and credentials, and entry into career.
• Transitions to Postsecondary Pathways — Policies related to early postsecondary opportunities such as dual enrollment or transfer between higher education institutions. 
• Short-Term Credentials — Policies related to non-degree training, credentials, and professional certifications offered at higher education institutions and other settings such as employment sites.
• Advise senior client executives and build strong ownership across client teams.
• Represent Bellwether externally (as appropriate to expertise), including, but not limited to, speaking at conferences, participating on panels, and writing. 
• Support business and client development efforts, initially serving as a co-seller with other members of the leadership team with the expectation of growing more self-directed business development over time. This may include projects cross-staffed with Bellwether’s Evaluation and Strategic Advising practices. 
• Supervise and manage members of the Policy team and provide coaching, professional development, and mentorship of staff members at various levels. 
• Advance Bellwether’s organizational priorities and contribute to the execution of its strategic plan, including facilitating ongoing cross-organization efforts to continue growing our depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise in postsecondary education-related topics, a priority defined in our current strategic plan. 
• Develop, sustain, and enhance relationships with senior executives, funders, and other leaders in the field. Cultivate a culture in which Bellwether’s team and work benefit from the open exchange of questions and ideas in the service of thoughtful, relevant analyses that advance excellent and equitable outcomes. 
• Integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into work with clients and in leadership of teams. 

The successful Senior Associate Partner candidate brings a sophisticated, deep understanding of the overall education policy landscape. They have expertise and a strong interest in postsecondary finance and pathways policy issues but may also have general or deep expertise in other education policy areas, such as early childhood or K-12 education. This leader possesses excellent written and verbal communication skills as well as a strong analytic toolkit. In addition, this candidate has a well-rounded interpersonal skill set with the capacity to cultivate and build strong senior client relationships, work effectively in a team environment, lead iterative processes that enable joint problem-solving and inclusive decision-making with clients and teams, and mentor and support the professional development of team members. Colleagues who thrive at Bellwether are entrepreneurial, self-directed, empirical, and curious. They welcome the opportunity to grapple honestly with competing ideas and perspectives, anchoring in a commitment to civil discourse and respect for others and grounding in facts and evidence. They maintain an open mind and willingness to adapt perspectives and mindsets in response to new or updated information, and they champion the idea that a range of perspectives is critical in the pursuit of the best possible solutions to promote equity and excellence in educational opportunities and outcomes. 

Qualifications 

• An understanding of the educational challenges and disparities facing underserved students in the United States, and a specific interest in postsecondary finance and pathways issues. 
• Expertise across multiple postsecondary finance and pathways topics as described above and ideally demonstrated across multiple roles of increasing seniority.

• Ability to model a high degree of reflection and self-awareness, build trusted relationships across lines of difference, and seek out and respond to perspectives different from one’s own.
• Comfort with representing an organization externally at convenings and in public-facing writing.
• Experience fostering client relationships, including:

About the Evaluation Subteam 

Truly effective organizations need access to quality information about what’s working, why, and for whom to guide strategic and operational decisions to accelerate and enhance their impact.

Because evaluating purpose-driven work can be a vulnerable process, we serve as trusted collaborators along the way. Our approach is grounded in developing mutual trust and offering ongoing, customized support across a range of services, including:

• Evaluations: We offer both short- and long-term program evaluations, including experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and descriptive research.

We typically use mixed-methods approaches that integrate quantitative and qualitative sources of evidence.
• Capacity Building: We build and strengthen organizations’ internal capacity to measure and evaluate their impact to inform continuous improvement and communicate results to key stakeholders. Services include refining logic models; developing and supporting implementation of evaluation plans; developing a research agenda; and creating dashboards and reports to enable insight and facilitate decision-making for stakeholders, including funders.
• Tailored Research: We offer rigorous and tailored research services to inform planning, implementation, and communications. Services include survey research to gather perspectives on sector-wide or client-specific questions; literature reviews to synthesize relevant, actionable research findings and support evidence-based decision-making; and social network analysis to provide insights on the strength, quality, and changes of relationships within a group of individuals or organizations over time.

About the Position

Over the course of a summer, the Evaluation intern will work on one to two substantive primary projects matched to their skills and interests. Interns typically provide both quantitative and qualitative research support to Bellwether staff — this might include writing memos, research summaries, briefings, and blog posts on a range of education topics; quantitative or qualitative data analysis; and contributing to client products, evaluation reports, or publications. 

Interns will work closely with the internship coordinators and project managers to develop individually tailored goals for their time on the Evaluation team and at Bellwether.

About Bellwether 

We are a national nonprofit that exists to transform education to ensure that systemically marginalized young people achieve outcomes that lead to fulfilling lives and flourishing communities. We work hand-in-hand with a diverse range of education organizations to accelerate their impact, inform and influence policy and program design, and share what we learn along the way. 

Our Evaluation team is one arm of Bellwether’s broader Policy and Evaluation (P&E) practice. The P&E team provides high-quality analysis, advising, evaluation, and support services to help organizations and leaders at every level of the system better understand how policies affect and inform their work, so they can create better results for students, especially those with the least access to opportunities. Our Evaluation team brings a wide range of training, coursework, and experience in designing, conducting, and supporting research at all levels of the ESSA evidence pyramid (e.g., experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and descriptive). We typically deploy a mixed-methods approach to our designs to customize each project to the client and the questions they seek to answer. Our evaluation assignments tend to cluster into the following categories: program evaluation, survey research, and evaluation capacity-building.

Our team members have experience as evaluators, analysts, and researchers at the federal, state, and local levels and expertise spanning a wide variety of issues. Bellwether staff members have served in roles at the White House, the U.S. Department of Education, and state education agencies, and as senior leaders in school districts and charter networks.

*Bellwether’s Evaluation Equity Commitments 

Too often, evaluation perpetuates systemic inequity. Our intention is to leverage evaluation as a tool in service of equity.

We have committed to centering equity in every part of our work, including how we show up as individuals and as a team, how we design and do our work, and how we interact with clients, communities, and the field. Our commitments to this end include: 

• Identify and interrupt bias. We consciously reflect on how our individual and team identities intersect with our work. We build structured opportunities for identifying (and, when necessary, interrupting) bias and the ways our beliefs, mindsets, and behavior may help or harm our pursuit of equity.
• Acknowledge power and positionality.We acknowledge that evaluation is not a neutral activity and understand that we hold a position of power as evaluators. We explicitly name the assumptions, values, and context in which our perspectives and recommendations are grounded. We cultivate decision-making practices that prioritize inclusivity and equity and look for opportunities to share power and address power imbalances.
• Use inclusive methods and approaches.We prioritize the use of methods and approaches that are responsive to community contexts and incorporate expanded definitions of truth, knowledge, and evidence. We elevate and center the perspectives and experiences of systemically marginalized individuals and communities in our research, analysis, insights, and recommendations.
• Acknowledge the past, understand the present, and design for the future.We help our partners and clients examine how past and present systemic drivers of inequity at the local and national level affect their strategy and results. We also support them in leveraging equitable evaluation to reimagine systems and structures in ways that accelerate their impact.
