Job Opportunity – Silicon Valley Community Foundation

Research and Policy Manager

The research and policy manager will work with the director of research and policy in developing and executing projects focused on school quality and education reform, with a particular focus on low-income and other underserved groups of students. Through data analysis, research, and publications, the manager’s work will seek to develop stronger accountability between the public schools and the larger community. All of the work of the research and policy team is designed to help parents and their allies leverage reform, so the target audience often has little technical expertise. The research and policy manager will also work with the director of research and policy designing the policy work of the organization, with the goal of making clear the high-leverage reforms that will drive improvements in student achievement.
