The Organization

Mission

CEH protects people from toxic chemicals by working with communities, consumers, workers, government, and the private sector to demand and support business practices that are safe for public health and the environment.

Vision

All people live, work, learn, and play in healthy environments.

Overview

The Center for Environmental Health (“CEH”) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that protects people from toxic chemicals and promotes business practices that are safe for public health and the environment. We stop corporations from exposing people to toxic chemicals, collaborate with responsible businesses and industry leaders, and are committed to inclusive, community-led solutions that address environmental injustices in low-income communities of color.

Workplace

CEH is an organization of committed, science-driven advocates who work together to keep short-sighted business interests from harming people in the name of profit. We are proud of our work and achieve big wins for people’s health. The organizational culture is one of entrepreneurism and thoughtfully assessed risk taking. CEH believes that to protect the health of all people, we must address the disproportionate health effects of toxic chemicals caused by systemic racism and other social injustices. The movement to eliminate dangerous chemicals must move forward in partnership with Environmental Justice, Reproductive Justice, and other related movements working to address the pressing social justice issues of our day. CEH’s headquarters are in Oakland, and we have staff located in North Carolina’s Triangle Area, Chicago, the Los Angeles area, and Seattle. This position is located in the Oakland office, but we are open to candidates from other locations. All staff are working remotely currently due to the pandemic.

Commitment to JEDI

At CEH, striving for justice, diversity, equity and inclusion (“JEDI”) for all is critical to our mission and values. We know that having a team that is diverse in race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, ability, sexual orientation, age, background, and opinions — and fostering inclusion among that team — is core to achieving our organizational goals. CEH strives to recruit talent from a diverse pool of candidates and ensure that those professionals it hires are sufficiently supported so that they flourish. The organization wants everyone to not only have a seat at the table, but to know that their presence and input makes the organization stronger.

The Organization

Results for America (RFA) is the leading national nonprofit organization helping policymakers at all levels of government harness the power of evidence and data to solve the world’s greatest challenges. Our mission is to make investing in what works the “new normal” so that one day, all government leaders use rigorous evidence and quality data to inform important policy and funding decisions. We believe that data-driven and evidence-based policy decisions could significantly increase the impact of the over $1 trillion that governments spend annually to advance economic mobility and racial equity.

Position Overview

RFA is building a new Impact & Learning Team to lead on data infrastructure management, data analysis, facilitating focused conversations about data and performance, and following through on rigorously measuring impact. RFA desires to effectively ‘roll up’ data it already collects via standards of excellence and create new metrics where needed to ‘draw the dots’ to key population-level outcomes both within and across programs.

One of the key hires on this new team is the Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Director. The MEL Director will work with both program and operational staff to lead a range of activities including data analysis, program codification, addressing learning agenda questions, managing and updating our Theory of Change, supporting continuous improvement, evaluation planning, and cross-organizational learning.

The MEL Director will be the point person for keeping RFA laser-focused on delivering on its ultimate goal of “dollars shifted and lives changed” by convening senior leaders from across the organization in regular evidence-driven, action-oriented “stocktake” conversations about impact and progress.

The MEL Director should be able to conduct formal and informal data analyses with relative speed. Although this individual will not be tasked with the expressed responsibility of leading the adoption and integration of a new data system, e.g., Salesforce, RFA would ideally like to hire someone who has experience leveraging the full functionality and power of an integrated data collection system for organizational intelligence and impact management purposes.

The MEL Director will report to RFA’s Chief Impact Officer.

• Experience in identifying and solving problems collaboratively with leaders across an organization, synthesizing insights from qualitative and quantitative evidence.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate findings from data analyses and evaluations to non-technical audiences.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, including demonstrated ability to build trust and credibility with senior leaders quickly.
