What we offer
Agency Description
The Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO) provides leadership on issues of economic justice by advancing racial equity and inclusive growth to ensure that all Philadelphians share in the city’s prosperous future and by alleviating the immediate impact of poverty on individuals, families and communities. CEO is Philadelphia’s Community Action Agency (CAA); CAAs are private or public agencies created by the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act and federally designated to receive Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding.
Guiding Principles (We believe…)
Values (How we work)
CEO regularly leverages research to tell the story of our work. Through analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data, we deepen our perspective, and learn as much as we can about the communities we serve. Just as importantly, we use reports to hold our organization’s programming accountable for meeting our goals. Finally, wherever possible we want to bring research findings back to community in accordance with Philadelphia’s vision for equitable engagement.
The primary responsibility of our Qualitative Research and Reporting Manager will be to lead efforts to describe and promote our work, mostly using written reports. The Manager will present our research findings to various audiences, and ensure those communications include extensive detail about our successes and challenges. This position will also be responsible for bringing in broader research context relevant to our empowerment and opportunity programs. The Manager will work to highlight those insights at various stages in our project workflow: writing memos, reports, presentations, and literature reviews. We aim to promote programing and policy change that takes economic inequalities and racism seriously, while also responding as nimbly as possible to the latest internal and external research. In addition to formal research products, the Manager will be responsible for liaising between different stakeholders with investments in these stories about our work. To do this, they will work closely with the Racial Equity team to support community engagement initiatives and ensure we communicate clearly, compassionately, and in ways that promote racial equity. These engagements will be with residents, research subjects, policymakers, and various other audiences.
To illustrate, a special focus will be on one of the city’s newest initiatives, the Neighborhood Community Action Centers. These District-level-offices present an exciting opportunity for CEO staff to gather the stories and narratives from within specific Philadelphia Neighborhoods. This Manager will sit at the nexus of that effort, helping distill these stories for key stakeholders. By bringing these narratives together, their analysis will support honing CEO’s strategy, gathering and disseminating data more efficiently, promoting our policy advocacy work, facilitating grant applications, and ongoing improvement of program implementation.
Reporting to the Director of Research and Evaluation, the Qualitative Research and Reporting Manager will lead the Research team’s qualitative data collection. This Manager will develop systems, procedures, and policies for qualitative data management within the organization. Using Survey Monkey, video/audio recording, and other research tools, the Manager will execute or oversee crucial data collection methods for both grant-funded and city-funded initiatives. This position will distill other people’s research, as well as writing our own reports based on both qualitative and quantitative data. Subject area expertise in anti-poverty initiatives is desired, as well as methodological experience working on qualitative research projects. A successful candidate will be able to accurately contextualize CEO programs based on survey data, focus groups, and 1-1 interviews. Thus, helping to tell stronger and clearer stories about our clients and our work.
