Washington, DC (901 E)
Senior Officer, Program Planning, Strategy
The Strategy Portfolio within Program
Pew’s program unit consolidates all of the organization’s programmatic activities into one department. Program organizes its work into four portfolios: Environment; Government Performance; Philadelphia and Science Advancement; and Strategy. The goal of the strategy portfolio within Program is to inform critical institutional decisions about Pew’s programs, strengthen the design and implementation of Pew’s work, and generate knowledge that advances Pew’s program objectives. We pursue this goal by (1) enhancing the organization’s efforts to generate ideas for new initiatives and larger bodies of work; (2) applying a wide range of planning approaches to help programs turn ideas into effective action; (3) using evaluation to improve program performance, inform decision-making, and support learning; (4) working with teams across the institution to help ensure Pew’s research meets the organization’s expressed standards for quality; (5) ensuring that staff has access to information that meets their needs to design, implement, and manage high-performing strategies, initiatives, and campaigns; and (6) collaborating with colleagues in preparing a wide range of planning and other types of documents for consideration by Pew’s board of directors.
Planning
Pew’s planning unit, within strategy, works in partnership with program leadership and staff to identify, develop, and refine high-profile initiatives in line with institutional and programmatic needs and priorities, and to coach and support program teams to strengthen their planning and implementation practices. Specifically, in partnership with and support of program leadership, the unit identifies and explores new public policy and research issues in which Pew might play a role; helps develop and improve program designs, strategies, and initiatives to address these issues; and reviews, informs, and strengthens existing strategies and initiatives to meet new or revised objectives.
Position Overview
Using excellent interpersonal, communication, and analytical skills the senior officer delivers planning support to Pew’s environmental work, which currently is comprised of about 15 environmentally-oriented projects and partnerships focused on safeguarding terrestrial and freshwater habitat throughout the world, conserving global marine resources, and addressing key ecosystem threats. The senior officer will assist the project director in carrying out the team’s duties, including providing high-quality consultative guidance with emphasis on ensuring program strategies and plans are rigorous, clear, and innovative. To answer questions that arise as part of planning engagements, the senior officer will take the lead on certain research and analysis activities. The senior officer also will support portfolio teams in developing Annual Reports, which track progress against program objectives, and gleaning insights and lessons learned from annual progress.
