Job Description

 

Delivery Associates work with leaders in the public sector and impact organizations to solve problems, build consensus and implement policies and programs that impact millions of people. We use a clear methodology to solve problems and help our partners deliver results. We’re successful in part because we master our approach and in part because we are empathetic, resourceful, level-headed, and dedicated to our clients and the people they serve

 

As an Associate, you’ll be supporting Delivery Associates’ team based in the Dominican Republic to advance key priorities for the country, in partnership with international partners and government teams. You will support the management of the multistakeholder coalition, facilitation of problem solving and collaboration across silos, planning and executing stakeholder workshops and bringing pace and focus to routine meetings. You’ll support us to build capacity for data driven decision making to help our partners deliver meaningful, measurable results for the people they serve.

 

Delivery Associates is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We value the cultural and ethnic diversity of our team, and recognize the importance of having professionals with diverse trajectories.

 

Key Responsibilities.

• Day-to-day execution of all activities under each objective
• Supports partners with data analysis and data visualization
• Development of written materials
• Support with problem-solving and routines with partners

 

Skill Sets.

We work closely in diverse, global teams, leaning on each other’s strengths. We don’t expect any one person to do all these things perfectly. Our Associates should be able to:

• Analyze data: Turn raw data into actionable insights and recommendations, whether through Microsoft Excel or other tools.
• Track impact: Support the monitoring and evaluation of programs and projects through clear, thoughtful analysis and data-driven assessments, working with clients to problem solve data collection.
• Manage fast-moving projects: Bring clear structure and planning to day-to-day work and communication.
• Write and present clearly: Support the production of clear written documents and well-structured slides; speak clearly and concisely in remote and in-person settings.
• Build relationships: Build trusted relationships among diverse stakeholders, especially in public sector, nonprofit, advocacy, and philanthropy settings.
• Solve problems: Break down problems and identify root causes before developing hypotheses and solutions.
• Stay focused: Navigate complexity, especially in policy and program implementation, consistently steering large coalitions back to a single-minded focus on priority outcomes.

 

Mindsets.

We work well with people who are:

• Adaptable: Public sector work is dynamic. Our people are, too.
• Analytical: We identify, dissect, and solve complex problems, following the data and evidence.
• Accountable: We are a remote team. We work collaboratively but self-sufficiently; oversight is often minimal, while proactivity is essential.
• Driven: Our work is important, so it’s important we do it well.
• Collaborative: We are flexible, thoughtful and team players.
• Curious: We never stop learning from our clients, colleagues, and partners.
• Inclusive: We embrace all voices and backgrounds; it enriches our work.

 

Profile.

Many of our people have backgrounds in government, philanthropy, think tanks, policy research, and non-profits. Some come from startups and tech. Our Associates generally have already 2-3 years in another organization and often have experience with our major verticals: climate, education, health, government  innovation. But we’ve done this long enough to know that what matters most is your skill set and your mindset. We are open to lots of backgrounds as long as you can show us you’re an analytical thinker, a clear communicator, a team player, and an avid learner.

What we offer:

 

• Exposure to senior leaders in government, nonprofits, NGOs and other social impact organizations
• Opportunity to be part of a growing organization working on transformative projects around the world
• Competitive compensation and benefits
