Program Officer, US Programs- Racial Justice Initiative
Ford Foundation 4.9
Program assistant job in New York, NY
The Ford Foundation's US Programs seek a fixed-term Program Officer to coordinate the Racial Justice Initiative. Now in its fourth year, the five-year Racial Justice Initiative is a cross-program grantmaking and learning initiative that aims to address the crisis of rapidly accelerating regression on racial justice. This initiative aims to advance racial justice and equity through support of efforts to 1) defend against rollbacks to racial equity programs and civil rights protections using policy, legal, communications and narrative approaches, and 2) foster cross-identity solidarity, community building, and belonging in the furtherance of racial justice.
The Program Officer role was intentionally designed as a cross-programmatic role, in which the Program Officer will develop strategy and grant recommendation in partnership with a working group of other program staff representing each of Ford's US Program portfolios, in the interest of ensuring that racial justice is mainstreamed as a commonly held concern rather than confined to a single portfolio.

In addition, the program officer will manage external relationships, track needs and opportunities in the racial justice field and support convenings with grantee-, funder and government partners.
Key responsibilities will include the following and/or similar activities:
Contribute to the ongoing definition and development of the foundation's US Racial Justice Initiative and strategy to scale impact.
Engage with grantees to review opportunities, challenges and advances and encourage collaboration, learning, exchange, and strategic partnerships.

Work closely with other funders and with donor collaboratives to encourage philanthropic contributions and align giving to the racial justice field.
Manage and create strategic learning opportunities to both sustain and deepen US Program's staff's understanding of what it means to embed a racial justice analysis and approach across issues and identities.
Foster a culture of learning - including learning and evaluation activities to guide the evolution of programmatic work - seeking to continually ask hard questions, gather independent and rigorous data and evidence about effectiveness of the Foundation and grantees' strategies, and help adapt practice as needed. Serve as an accessible resource for the field accordingly.
Represent the Foundation and its work in key venues through participation in relevant meetings, public speaking, writing, speeches, briefings, blog posts, and interviews.
Work closely with a grantmaking team of Grants Manager to manage all aspects of grants processing and compliance.
Contribute to the thinking and work of colleagues across the Foundation and the field of grant seekers and philanthropic peers overall.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
