Position Summary

We are seeking a strategic leader and systems thinker to serve as Director, Data Strategy, guiding how our organization defines, measures, learns from, and grows its impact in building vibrant Jewish life across Greater Washington. This cross-functional role works across the organization and in close partnership with senior leadership to ensure data, research, and insights directly inform strategy and decision‑making. The Director will lead the development of an integrated strategy, evaluation, and learning framework — ensuring we systematically gather and use evidence to drive continuous improvement and shape the future of Jewish communal life.

This position sits at the intersection of strategy, learning, data, and community impact — helping our organization stay grounded in evidence, responsive to community needs, and aligned with long‑term growth goals.

Key Responsibilities

Impact & Learning Strategy

  • Lead the design and implementation of an organization‑wide strategy for measuring and understanding impact across initiatives, programs, and investments.
  • Define key success indicators and learning questions that help drive clarity and alignment across the organization.
  • Synthesize data and research from across the broader field, translating insights into actionable strategies that address local challenges and opportunities. Identify when to leverage existing knowledge and when to commission new research or analysis.

Insight Generation & Data Strategy

  • Oversee the collection, integration, and analysis of data from multiple sources — including surveys, community research, program data, and lived experience.
  • Generate strategic insights that shape organizational priorities, identify growth opportunities, and elevate stories of impact.
  • Present data and insights to non‑technical audiences in clear, compelling, and accessible ways — ensuring professional and lay leadership can engage with and act on the findings.
  • Feedback Loops & Continuous Improvement

  • Design and manage learning systems and feedback loops that inform adaptive strategy and continuous improvement across teams.
  • Support program and strategy staff in interpreting data and making data‑informed decisions.
  • Cross‑Sector Collaboration

  • Partner with local organizations, grantees, and community leaders to align around shared metrics, evaluation efforts, and impact goals.
  • Represent the organization in collaborative learning and field‑building efforts.
  • Internal Capacity Building

  • Build the organization’s capacity to use data and insight by coaching staff, leading workshops, and supporting the integration of learning into planning and implementation.
  • Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in data strategy, evaluation, strategic learning, or applied research in nonprofit, philanthropic, or mission‑aligned settings.
  • A MBA or other relevant advanced degree is strongly preferred.
  • Proven experience leading systems for impact measurement and insight generation.
  • Strong technical skills in data analysis and interpretation — including quantitative and qualitative methods.
  • Exceptional ability to translate data into actionable insights and strategic direction.
  • Deep understanding of Jewish communal life, diversity, and values — with a passion for fostering belonging and vibrancy.
  • Organizational Culture and Values

    The Director, Data Strategy will join a team committed to leading with purpose, listening and responding with care, and fostering a culture of learning and collaboration. We value inclusion, transparency, and trust — and seek a colleague who brings curiosity, humility, and a deep respect for diverse perspectives.
