Job description
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.
This role is mostly remote with the intent to move to hybrid in-office in 2027. Candidates should be located near Washington DC.

Lead client engagements end-to-end, translating client goals around outcomes, evidence, and impact into clear strategic frameworks and actionable recommendations
Guide public-sector clients through changes to funding strategy, decision-making processes, and performance management practices
Manage project plans, timelines, and team members to ensure high-quality delivery under tight deadlines
Produce polished, client-ready deliverables that synthesize analysis into clear insights for senior decision-makers
Client Partnership & Growth
Serve as a trusted advisor to client leaders, anticipating needs and helping clients succeed internally and externally
Facilitate working sessions and discussions with diverse stakeholder groups, including program, policy, and leadership audiences
Identify opportunities to deepen engagements, expand scope, and support account growth
Contribute to the evolution of MM’s offerings for public-sector and government clients
Mentor and manage analysts and data-focused team members, supporting skill development and quality standards
Support proposal development and thought leadership efforts as MM continues to grow its public-sector portfolio
