Job Description:
The FoundationWe are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty,
disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple
premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or
circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive
lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity
of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an
exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which
include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no
premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave,
foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and
opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a
workplace, we're committed to creating an environment for you to
thrive both personally and professionally.The TeamThe foundation's
U.S. Program (USP) works to ensure that people navigating U.S.
education systems and job markets can develop the knowledge,
skills, and agency needed to thrive in their communities such that
race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status are no longer
predictors of educational attainment and economic mobility and
security. Our mission is to work with partners to:1. Generate
insights by using data, research, and evidence to illuminate
inequities in education, workforce, and social systems and evaluate
potential solutions;2. Accelerate innovation of digitally enabled
solutions and high-impact practices and supports that help
educators and community leaders eliminate disparities;3. Strengthen
capacity of institutions, intermediaries, and leaders to implement
these solutions, practices, and supports in their contexts to
further test and prove their effectiveness and impact;4. Improve
enabling conditions, including data infrastructure, policy, and
funding, so that proven solutions, practices, and supports can
scale to ensure equitable outcomes; and5. Engage partners to ensure
that community voices, student voices, and other key stakeholder
voices are included, heard, and incorporated into our work.Our
mission reflects our belief in the power of evidence, data,
technology, and innovation as essential and high-potential inputs
to support educators and system leaders to deliver equitable impact
for students and communities. USP works on five goals:1. Increased
kindergarten readiness and school and life success;2. Increased
academic and socio-emotional outcomes for K-12 students, with a
focus on mathematics, to ensure they are on track for high-school
graduation and college preparedness;3. Increased successful
transitions for K-12 students between high school and postsecondary
systems;4. Increased completions of quality, affordable
postsecondary credentials that offer value through economic
mobility and security; and5. Increased outcomes for adults
experiencing poverty with regards to economic success, power and
autonomy, and being valued in their communities.The vision for the
foundation's US education work is to ensure that all students in
the US have access to educational opportunities, from Pre-K to
postsecondary, that enable them to develop the knowledge, skills,
and agency needed thrive as adults and contribute to their
communities. Within K-12 education, the foundation focuses on math
and - given the opportunity gaps - specifically focuses on
increasing the number of Black and Latino students and students
from low-income backgrounds ("priority students") who are prepared
for and complete Algebra 1 by the 9th grade, so they can be ready
and able to progress through higher level math in high school and
beyond. The foundation aims to improve math education in this
country by increasing the quality of instructional materials so
that they are more motivating and engaging for students -
particularly priority students - and ensuring that teachers have
high-quality supports to use those materials well. Our investments
reach nationally, but we also focus within four states: California,
Florida, New York, and Texas given the large populations of
priority students in those states.Application Deadline: Friday, May
