Full Job Description

The Opportunity

As Centers enters its next phase of growth, we are intentionally evolving from a strong program implementation organization into a recognized leader in innovation, measurable impact, and community influence. To support this evolution, we are creating a senior leadership position responsible for aligning program strategy, evaluation, organizational learning, and continuous improvement across the agency.

The Senior Director of Program Strategy & Impact will help ensure that Centers not only delivers high-quality services, but continually adapts, improves, and demonstrates measurable results for the children, youth, and families we serve.

Role Summary

The Senior Director of Program Strategy & Impact serves as a key member of the leadership team, responsible for advancing program excellence across the organization. This role integrates strategic program development, performance measurement, evaluation, community engagement, and continuous quality improvement to ensure that Centers maximizes its impact and remains responsive to emerging community needs.

Working closely with program leaders, the Senior Director will help the organization move beyond compliance and reporting toward a culture where data informs decisions, innovation drives growth, and programs continually evolve to strengthen outcomes for children, youth, and families.

Key Areas of Focus

Program Strategy & Development

Identify opportunities to strengthen and expand programs aligned with community needs and organizational priorities
Monitor emerging trends, best practices, and funding opportunities

Foster innovation and crossprogram collaboration

Impact Measurement & Evaluation

Develop and oversee organizationwide performance measures and outcome frameworks
Define and track key performance indicators across all programs
Ensure data integrity, consistency, and accessibility
Build dashboards and reporting tools that support decisionmaking

Continuous Quality Improvement

Establish feedback loops that strengthen program performance
Lead organizationwide continuous quality improvement efforts
Promote a culture of learning, accountability, and innovation
Support program leaders in using data to improve outcomes

Community Engagement & Strategic Partnerships

Convene community conversations, forums, and learning opportunities
Build and maintain strategic partnerships that enhance programs and impact
Increase organizational visibility and thought leadership
Represent Centers in community and sectorwide initiatives

Organizational Learning & Capacity Building

Strengthen staff capacity around strategic thinking, performance measurement, and evaluation
Support leaders in translating insights into action
Promote organizational learning and knowledge sharing
Serve as a strategic advisor to the CEO and leadership team

What Success Looks Like

Leadership has clear visibility into program performance and outcomes
Programs continuously evolve based on community need, evidence, and opportunity
Data informs decisions rather than simply fulfilling compliance requirements
Centers is recognized as a convener, innovator, and thought leader on the South Side
Staff embrace a culture of learning, accountability, and continuous improvement
Strategic partnerships contribute to greater impact and visibility

Ideal Profile

Experienced leader with a background in program strategy, evaluation, organizational effectiveness, or continuous improvement
Strong systems thinker who can connect data, people, programs, and community impact
Experience leading crossfunctional initiatives and organizational change
Skilled relationship builder with a collaborative leadership style
Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels
Passionate about equity, community impact, and continuous learning

Special Consideration

This role represents a significant investment in Centers’ future. The Senior Director of Program Strategy & Impact will help shape how the organization grows, learns, and measures success—strengthening both our community influence and our measurable impact. The successful candidate will have a unique opportunity to build systems, drive innovation, and help position Centers as a model for excellence across the nonprofit sector.
