Manager, Consulting

Mission Measurement (MM) is a recognized leader in measuring social outcomes. We help federal, state, and local government define, analyze, and improve the results of grant investments in education, housing, public health, workforce development, and more. At the center of our work is the Impact Genome Registry, the first-ever database with outcomes and cost benchmarks from over 2.2 million social programs. We help public agencies leverage IGR to track grant performance, uncover "what works," and invest where tax dollars will have the greatest impact. Our goal is to maximize the impact of every dollar spent on social change. Governments spend billions not knowing what works. Help fix that. Mission Measurement seeks a highly capable and entrepreneurial Consulting Manager to support public-sector clients in shifting toward outcomes-focused, evidence-informed approaches to social impact and grantmaking. Managers work directly with federal agencies, state governments, and other funding bodies to help them design strategies, implement the Impact Genome Registry, make better investment decisions, and strengthen the systems and practices that support those decisions over time. This role is a good fit for someone with strong consulting and change management experience, comfort in complex environments, and the ability to translate analytical insight into practical action. You'll lead engagements day-to-day, develop strategic recommendations, and help clients shift how they make decisions - not just what they report. As part of a small, growing team, you'll operate with significant autonomy: building approaches, not just executing them, with direct exposure to senior leadership and clients from the start.
