Senior Strategy Officer, US Program; three

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation‑paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities.

As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

The foundation’s U.S. Program works with partners to help ensure that people navigating U.S. education systems and job markets can develop the knowledge, skills, and agency they need to thrive in their communities. As the division advances its long‑term ambitions, strong strategy, planning, portfolio management, and cross‑team coordination are essential to translating priorities into impact. 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:

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.

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.

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.
