Program Officer, Learning & Impact

Hybrid (New York, NY)

Surdna Foundation

Date Posted: 6/04/2026

About Surdna Foundation

The Surdna Foundation was founded by John E. Andrus in 1917, and its mission is to advance social and racial justice in U.S. communities. The foundation has assets of more than $1 billion, an annual grantmaking budget of over $53 million, and a staff of 24. It is governed by a Board of Directors that includes fifth-generation members of the Andrus family, as well as community members. Surdna pursues its mission by providing grants in the areas of arts and culture, environmental justice, economic inclusion, and youth justice, as well as through its communications, internal operations, and investment practices. In addition, Surdna seeks to achieve three foundation-wide racial equity outcomes: wealth creation, democratic participation, and accountability of institutions. 

The foundation strives to exemplify its core values—justice, equity, inclusion, respect, and humility—in every aspect of its work. Surdna’s staff contribute to an organizational culture of collaboration, curiosity, and bold thinking.

Surdna is a hybrid workplace where 2-3 days per week are spent together collaboratively with other foundation staff and partners.

Learn more about the Surdna Foundation at https://surdna.org/.

The Opportunity

The Learning & Impact Officer is a strategic leader who will help guide learning initiatives and strengthen Surdna’s organizational capacity to learn from our grantmaking, apply lessons to improve effectiveness, and share our experiences to inform the field. This role sits within our Communications & Engagement team—a deliberate placement that reflects our commitment to cross-functional collaboration, synthesis, sense-making, storytelling, and dissemination. Learning is only valuable when it is shared.

The Learning & Impact Officer reports to the VP, Communications & Engagement and works closely with program, grants operations, impact investing, finance and administration teams, grantee partners, and external consultants to ensure that learning informs our decision-making internally and contributes knowledge to grantees and the broader field.

Core Responsibilities

The Learning & Impact Officer will be a thought partner, synthesizer, and storyteller. We are looking for someone who can hold the complexity of a multi-program foundation while helping staff and board find the questions, patterns, and insights that sharpen strategy, strengthen relationships with grantees, align learning with the foundation’s priorities, and advance Surdna’s mission.

This role supports the foundation’s ongoing learning through analysis, evaluation, storytelling, and the delivery of actionable opportunities to strengthen Surdna’s culture of learning. The ideal candidate will be familiar with the equitable evaluation and emergent learning frameworks to drive learning, enhance strategic clarity, and track effectiveness over time.

Learning, Synthesis, and Storytelling (70%)

• Strengthen organizational capacity for learning, grounded in Surdna's commitments to racial justice, trust-based philanthropy, accountability, and rigorous learning from successes and failures

• Identify and synthesize key trends, stories, and insights across programs, grants operations, and impact investing, and make that synthesis actionable

• Illustrate Surdna’s impact with compelling data and stories, using qualitative and quantitative information to capture the foundation’s learning and impact

• Partner with grants management, grantmaking, and impact investing teams to collect, maintain, and analyze data, metrics, and indicators that are low-burden and high-value for grantees, partners, staff, and board

• Support strategy reviews for continuous learning and adaptation, including programmatic strategy reviews and annual i4 (intent, implementation, influence, and impact) assessments, with data analysis and synthesis

• Connect internal learning to external contexts, including field-wide trends, emerging research, and the political and economic environment

• Create high-quality data visualizations, summative reports, and other presentation materials for internal and external learning

• Stay abreast of trends and practices in the philanthropic sector and racial justice field.

Project Management & Dissemination (30%)

• Collaborate with the communications and grantmaking teams to ensure learning is shared — with staff, board, grantees, and the field — through a range of formats and channels

• Lead projects and consultants on assigned projects related to learning

• Develop, support, and maintain internal structures and systems for cross-program sharing; and develop specific tools that anchor a culture of learning, both institution-wide and within each program.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a collaborative, flexible, and continuous learner who is committed to advancing the Surdna Foundation's social justice and racial equity mission. The ideal candidate understands learning as a partnership rather than oversight and brings:

• Superb qualitative and quantitative analytical skills, with the ability to surface the human stories behind the data and translate both into insights that inform strategy and strengthen accountability.

• Curiosity and humility, with a knack for spotting patterns, working with unstructured or incomplete data, and holding complexity in a social and racial justice context where "impact" is often achieved over a long horizon.

• Relational intelligence to build trust across the foundation and with grantees to co-create learning strategies.

• Synthesizing and facilitation instincts that create the conditions to develop a culture of learning, sense-making, and continuous improvement.

• Sector literacy grounded in knowledge of the best practices and tensions around learning and evaluation, grantee burden, and trust-based practices.

In addition, strong candidates will offer:

• At least 8-10 years of experience in strategic learning, evaluation, data journalism, or knowledge management in a philanthropic, nonprofit, or social sector context.

• Demonstrated experience co-designing learning strategies that align with systems change and social justice across diverse teams and functions.

• Strong ability to collect, analyze, and synthesize data, surfacing patterns and insights across a complex portfolio and communicating them clearly to diverse audiences.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to inform and inspire audiences through compelling data visualizations, stories, patterns, and lessons learned.

• Capacity to effectively use research—and support evaluations led by consultants—for learning and strategy development.

• A collaborative, self-directed, and resourceful working style, equally comfortable leading a strategy conversation and building a spreadsheet.

• Experience with Fluxx, Tableau, and data visualization a strong plus.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity, balancing rigor with adaptability, and modeling curiosity.

• A commitment to ethical standards, transparency, and accountability.

• Ability to take the work seriously, but not themselves.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, you will know your work is succeeding when grantees experience Surdna's reporting and metrics as useful for their own work, when program teams can adapt strategies based on what they're learning from the field, and when staff and board engage in substantive learning conversations that explore challenges and emergent opportunities to advance our mission. You will help make learning a part of Surdna’s culture that advances racial justice and strengthens the foundation’s and partners’ effectiveness and accountability.

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for the Program Officer, Learning & Impact is $125,000 - $137,500, commensurate with experience.

This position is a full-time position, and Surdna offers a leading and holistic total compensation package that includes salary and benefits. All full-time staff are eligible for Surdna’s generous benefits package including:

• 100% employer-funded medical, dental, and vision coverage, life insurance, and long- and short-term disability from the first day of employment for individuals and dependents

• Retirement plan with an overall employer contribution of 12% per annum of gross salary, regardless of employee contribution

• Flexible time off policy that empowers staff to take time as needed for rest, self-care, and personal responsibilities

• 8 wellness days per year

• 12 paid holidays, including select extended holiday breaks with foundation-wide closure to encourage restorative time-off

• All employees receive a foundation-issued cell phone

• Home office equipment allowance

• Employer-funded transit contribution of $140/month

• Access to professional development opportunities (capacity and financial support) and tuition reimbursement

• Fully paid parent leave (maternal and paternal) during the new child’s first year (born into the family or adopted)

• Financial relocation support

• To encourage community giving, Surdna matches employee charitable contributions at a 5:1 ratio, with a minimum $100 donation eligible for matching

Remote (Westlake Village, CA)

Conrad N. Hilton Foundation

Date Posted: 5/29/2026

Purpose

The Foundation’s initiatives have invested significantly in research and evaluation (R&E) during S25. SLED and the Communications department aligned on the need for a systematic approach to communicating cross-learning—externally to the field and partners and internally across initiatives—including a thematic approach, a phased pilot structure, and clarified roles and processes.

Objectives

1. Deliver a clear, audience-differentiated SLED R&E communications strategy, including goals, audiences, positioning, thematic focus, and channel approach.

2. Define 4–5 cross-cutting themes for SLED to disseminate over the next 12–18 months. Design an implementable operating model with intake-to-publication workflow, governance and approvals, roles and responsibilities, and decision rules for communication.

3. Provide practical tools, such as templates, briefs, and tagging taxonomy guidance, to enable consistent execution and reduce workload for SLED and Communications teams.

4. Establish a 2026 pilot operating approach with 2–3 themes to validate the workflow and refine for scaling beginning in 2027.

Scope of Work

A. Discovery and Alignment

• Review existing materials (e.g., R&E tracker structure, representative R&E products, current learning site structure) and synthesize implications for communications.

• Conduct stakeholder interviews / working discussions with SLED, the Communications department, and initiatives to confirm intent, constraints, and decision-makers.

• Facilitate a working session to answer key design questions (priority audiences, desired audience actions, criteria for what merits external comms, and how internal learning comms fits).

• Document agreed upon assumptions, open questions, and decisions needed to proceed.

B. Strategy Development

SLED

• Develop an audience map (primary/secondary audiences) and articulate intended audience actions (e.g., adopt a practice, share evidence, inform policy, apply learning).

• Define SLED’s R&E communications positioning and narrative frame (what SLED will be known for in evidence/learning dissemination).

• Identify and describe 4–5 cross-cutting themes and how each theme will be communicated (core message, proof points, audiences, best-fit channels).

• Recommend a structure and internal process for a Comms Resource Hub that houses qualitative and quantitative assets—such as statistics, quotes, case studies, and key findings—to support efficient storytelling.

Communications Department

• Recommend channels, digital platforms, media, events, and content formats by audience and objective (with lightweight guidance on cadence and sequencing).

• Translate strategy into a brief “playbook” that staff can use without ongoing consultant support.

C. Workflow, Governance, and Decision Rules

• Develop a thematic pipeline management approach that enables SLED to plan, prioritize, and manage communications across related bodies of work.

• Define intake expectations and lead times (e.g., when and how Learning and Evaluation Officers (LEOs) flag upcoming reports; target lead time such as ~60 days prior to expected report receipt).

• Create decision rules to triage products into comms pathways (e.g., full brief vs short summary vs internal-only vs no comms), including minimum quality/utility thresholds.

• Propose a governance and approvals model (who reviews what, in what order, and turnaround time targets), including cross-initiative coordination where needed.

• Define a recurring cadence for planning and prioritization (e.g., monthly pipeline review) and how decisions will be made.

D. Tools, Templates, and Infrastructure Alignment

• Provide recommendations for a learning site structure that supports thematic navigation and timely publication (not purely archival), including where SLED/Initiative “point of view” content lives.

• Develop a toolkit of templates: Create practical tools—such as content briefs and “so what” synthesis outlines and publication priority checklist. Products to be developed using existing Airtable and other existing Foundation tools.

• Provide recommended taxonomy and tagging guidance: Establish a system for categorizing and tagging R&E products by theme, including CNHF strategic communications framework, which helps organize the tracker and supports the communications pipeline.

• Implement initial taxonomy coding of existing R&E resources

• Define minimum metadata standards for each R&E product to enable triage and reuse (e.g., topic/theme tags, audience, sector, key takeaways, limitations, publishability).

• Identify core metrics for tracking progress toward goal of increased access to and dissemination of research and evaluation products.

E. Pilot Operating Model (Lightweight)

• Support selection of 2–3 pilot themes for 2026 based on what is already available and what is in the pipeline.

• Develop a lightweight editorial approach (key messages, priority audiences, recommended outputs by type, and a realistic cadence) for each pilot theme.

• Run the workflow end-to-end to validate decision rules, timing, and approvals (focus is on process proofing for 1 fully implemented pilot theme).

• Facilitate a retrospective with SLED and the Communications department and refine the strategy playbook and workflow artifacts for scale.

Deliverables

1. Discovery readout: stakeholder synthesis, key decisions, and constraints. SLED R&E communications strategy deck or memo: audiences, objectives, positioning/narrative, thematic framework (4–5 themes), and channel/format recommendations.

2. Theme one-pagers (4–5): for each theme—core message, target audiences, proof points, example assets, and recommended distribution approach.

3. Operating model package: workflow map, governance/approvals model, decision rules, and meeting cadence.

4. RACI and ways-of-working: roles across SLED, the Communications department, and Initiative teams; handoffs and turnaround targets.

5. Templates/toolkit: intake form, content brief template, “so what” synthesis outline,

   review checklist, and post-publication tracking fields.

6. Socialization sessions: facilitation of 3 interactive sessions to familiarize program department staff, including Initiatives, with relevant workflows (e.g., research production to publication) and templates (e.g., intake form, “so what” synthesis outline)

7. Implementation support + closeout package: facilitation/coaching during early adoption (e.g., pipeline meetings and theme/editorial working sessions), light-touch refinements to workflow artifacts/templates based on early use, and a final retrospective + closeout readout (presentation and short memo with recommendations for scaling in 2027).

Success Measures

Success will be measured by completion of strategy outputs and evidence of adoption of the workflow and tools during the pilot period.

• Strategy completed and usable: Strategy memo/deck and theme one-pagers delivered, reviewed, and approved by SLED and the Communications department by the agreed milestone date.

• Clear decision rules adopted: Intake criteria and triage pathways documented and used in at least one live pipeline review.

• Workflow adoption: Standing cadence established (e.g., monthly pipeline review) with documented decisions, owners, and next steps for at least 3 consecutive cycles during the implementation support period (September–November 2026).

• Cycle-time improvements: Agree on clear time targets for each step (e.g., how many days it should take to go from first draft to final approval) and meet those targets for pilot items during the proof-of-concept period.

• Pipeline health: A defined share of upcoming R&E products is flagged in advance (per agreed lead time), tagged to themes, and have minimum metadata fields completed.

• Pilot validates operating model: 2–3 pilot themes run through the workflow with a retrospective that results in concrete process/tool refinements.

• Stakeholder satisfaction: SLED and the Communications department report that the strategy and tools reduce ambiguity and effort, and enable consistent publishing decisions.

Out of Scope (Unless Separately Contracted)

• High-volume content production (e.g., ongoing drafting of briefs, op-eds, web pages, or social copy). Note: The scope does include early implementation support (facilitation/coaching and refinement of workflow artifacts/templates), but not ongoing production work.

• Graphic design, web development, or publishing support (beyond recommendations and workflow alignment).

• Media relations, public relations (PR) pitching, or spokesperson training.

• Comprehensive analytics implementation (beyond defining recommended success measures and what to track).

Timeline (July 2026–January 2027)

• July 2026 (Discovery + decisions): Review existing materials; conduct stakeholder interviews; facilitate working session(s); confirm priority audiences, intended audience actions, decision-makers, constraints, and initial governance assumptions; deliver discovery readout.

• August 2026 (Strategy + themes, draft): Develop audience map and positioning/narrative frame; draft 4–5 cross-cutting themes and initial theme one-pagers; draft channel/format recommendations and strategy playbook (one-page).

• September 2026 (Operating model + toolkit, finalize): Map intake-to-publication workflow; finalize governance/approvals model, decision rules, cadence, and ways-of-working; produce workflow artifacts (RACI/SLAs) and templates/toolkit; confirm minimum metadata standards and tracker tagging guidance; provide learning site structure recommendations.

• October–December 2026 (Early implementation support): Support initial adoption of the operating model by facilitating up to 3 pipeline review sessions and up to 3 theme/editorial working sessions; coach SLED and the Communications department on applying decision rules, lead times, and templates; provide light-touch troubleshooting and refinements to workflow artifacts/templates based on early use (focus remains on implementation support rather than high-volume content production).

• January 2027 (Final review + closeout): Facilitate a final retrospective; deliver a short implementation learning memo (what worked, what needs adjustment, and recommendations for scaling in 2027); present final strategy + operating model package; complete handoff and closeout.

Roles and Collaboration
