Strategy, Planning and Management serves as a critical capability across U.S. Program, helping teams translate strategy into execution, strengthen portfolio and investment decision-making, connect work across organizational boundaries, and create the planning, governance, and operating practices needed to deliver results.
We are hiring for multiple Senior Strategy Officer opportunities aligned with this role profile across several teams within the U.S. Program. The core capabilities and qualifications are consistent, while the specific portfolio, partners, and areas of emphasis will vary by team.
As a Senior Strategy Officer, you will serve as a strategic and operational thought partner to senior leaders and colleagues, helping shape and refine strategy, translate priorities into coordinated action, and strengthen execution. They bring together strategy, planning, analysis, portfolio management, and stakeholder coordination to help teams make high-quality decisions and deliver against their goals. Working across organizational boundaries, Senior Strategy Officers synthesize complex information, identify connections and tradeoffs, and develop the plans, processes, analyses, and decision-support tools that enable leaders and teams to move from strategy to results.
Depending on team placement, you may lead discrete strategy projects, structure complex and ambiguous problems, develop evidence-based recommendations, and guide strategy development and execution planning.
The three teams hiring Senior Strategy Officers are:
•
Advocacy & System Improvement: The role of this team is to enable systems to adopt and sustain effective practices, and to change how systems operate so those practices become standard, scalable, and durable. In this context, the solutions our colleagues develop and deliver are more likely to reach more learners, driving collective progress towards our shared goals.
•
Data & AI: Supporting portfolios focused on unlocking the potential of data and artificial intelligence to improve educational and economic outcomes. The work may emphasize portfolio strategy, cross-team and partner coordination, learning, and connecting Data & AI priorities across U.S. Program.
•
Office of the President: Supporting division-wide strategy implementation, planning, governance, and organizational coherence. The work emphasizes cross-team synthesis, strategic planning, decision support, equitable investing improvement, and initiatives that span multiple U.S. Program teams.
As part of the interview process, we will assess candidates based on both their interests and the evolving needs of these teams. If you have a strong preference for a particular team or area of work, please indicate it in your cover letter.
