Lead, Global Assessment and Advisory Services
$150,000 - $160,000
Full-time, permanent
Europe, home-based

For two decades, CEP has led the movement to improve philanthropy through a powerful combination of dispassionate analysis and a passionate commitment to helping funders create a better and more just world.

Today, over 350 foundations around the world have used CEPs assessments and advisory services to gather honest feedback from their stakeholders in an effort to learn how to be even more effective. CEOs and trustees have come to rely on our research for insights into foundation effectiveness on a wide range of topics, from assessing performance to developing strategy to managing stakeholder relationships.

Our highly regarded programming - including our biennial conference - gives foundation leaders an exclusive and unprecedented opportunity to connect with their peers. CEP is based in Cambridge Massachusetts, with a second office in San Francisco, California.

Our fee-for-service assessment and advisory services draw upon two decades of experience to help funders listen to authentic feedback from stakeholders, assess their own work, learn from their engagements, and improve.

Building upon the success that we have achieved in the US and increasingly around the world, we now see great opportunity to further expand our reach globally, with a particular emphasis in Europe. Our aim is to apply what we have learned in partnership with foundations and major donors in pursuit of greater philanthropic effectiveness and a profoundly better world.

We are seeking a dynamic and skilled relationship development lead to take forward the execution of CEPs efforts and expand our global work with a particular emphasis in Europe.

Reporting to the Vice President, Assessment and Advisory Services, the position is responsible for setting the approach to build CEPs fee-for-service assessment and advisory work outside of the US and will be the primary business development engagement leader for CEPs assessment tools with both existing and new clients located outside the US.

Externally, the position builds and maintains relationships with foundation leaders, leads the execution of CEP engagements with funders, represents CEP in meetings, presentations of assessment and advisory project results, and at conferences and speaking engagements. Internally, the post-holder will lead assessment and advisory engagement teams (staffed by US-based analysts) and collaborate with other leaders on the direction and continuous improvement of the Assessment and Advisory Services department.
