Apply NowOrganization Background
For nearly 60 years, HopeWell has led the charge in how communities can do better for individuals and families who need extra support. Founded in 1964 and formerly known as DARE Family Services, HopeWell’s programs aim to intervene upstream to support families in maintaining custody and prevent losing their children to the foster care system. When necessary, we recruit, license and train loving foster homes who provide a safe place for youth to grow and thrive. For older youth exiting foster care, we provide safe, stable housing to support their launch into adulthood so they can focus on their educational and employment goals. We envision a future where we have eliminated the disparities between youth living in foster care and their non-foster peers, and we act with urgent patience to lead a paradigm shift in which we no longer accept poor outcomes for youth who have experienced foster care.
Additionally, HopeWell offers residential settings and support services for adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Recognizing that no two adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are the same, we match them with environments that provide consistent, nurturing interaction and learning opportunities in a safe, caring home environment. We also work with parenting adults who live on their own to support their capacity to provide safe and loving care to their children.
Collectively, our programs serve and advocate for systemic change on behalf of 1,500 individuals annually across Massachusetts.
The Opportunity
HopeWell seeks a motivated, collaborative, and strategic Director of Data & Program Impact (DDPI) to develop and manage the organization’s data, measurement, and analysis efforts. The DDPI will ensure that HopeWell’s data and program impact efforts advance HopeWell’s mission – to enrich the lives and expand the opportunities of individuals and families in need of love, support, and safe places to grow and thrive. Reporting to the Vice President of Research, Policy, and Learning, this is an exciting opportunity to join a team focused on closing opportunity gaps and impacting meaningful change for youth and families involved in the child welfare system and adults involved in the developmental disabilities system.
The DDPI will serve as a data, measurement, and analysis resource throughout the organization. They will manage routine and consistent data tracking, the development and refinement of program-specific measurement frameworks, and measurement identification/development based on robust and current research relevant to HopeWell’s work. As HopeWell is early in its journey of becoming a data-informed learning organization, the DDPI will play a significant role in building the data infrastructure and supporting the agency culture shifts that will enable HopeWell to measure and make meaning out of our impact.
This position requires someone whose passion for HopeWell’s mission is matched with cogent thought leadership, powerful organizational skills, and an ability to clearly and succinctly connect with others to operationalize data for learning, program improvement, performance management, and increasing positive outcomes and meaningful opportunities for those we support.
The DDPI is a thoughtful and strategic collaborator who will work closely with HopeWell’s Executive Leadership Team broadly, and the VPs of Research, Policy, and Learning and Program Impact and Strategy specifically, to develop and sustain a data- and evidence-informed culture of continuous improvement. While HopeWell has talented staff doing critical work with those we support, our ability to effect systemic change and drive innovation hinges on our ability to demonstrate effectiveness. To that end, we are building our capacity to measure our programmatic efforts and impact and continuously adapt and improve based on what we learn. This is a new position and is one in a series of capacity building hires that will help us reach this goal.
