Cleveland Foundation Inc: Director of Treasury & Investments
World Bank Group: Young Professionals
Impact Modeling Analyst - GitLab Foundation
Application Deadline: September 25
Regional Workforce Strategy & Portfolio Manager, U.S. Workforce Development Initiative
Contractor - 6 months with potential for extension pending performance and program needs (3 days/week)
Location: USA – remote, with a strong preference for candidates based in or near the assigned three-state region;
regular travel within the region required. Preference for base in IL, IN, TX, NC, AR or GA.
The Global Environement & Technology Foundation is looking for a consultant to support us on a regional social impact program focused on local workforce development with Caterpillar. The scope really requires a background in local workforce development (this is focused on US, but they'll also be looking for Mexico, India and Brazil experience in future).
Hi GHD folks,
Bridgespan, a leading social impact consulting firm that advises national and global nonprofits, philanthropies, and impact investors, is hiring across our US offices: SF, NY, Boston, and DC.
The Consultant role is targeted for second-year graduate students and recent graduate school alumni and could be a great fit for GHD students interested in consulting and/or strategy work with organizations in a variety of sectors. It’s a fast-paced role with a lot of on-the-job training and exposure to national and global leaders in social impact. If you like GHD group projects, like continuously learning about new organizations, and like conducting analysis in order to advise executive leaders on major strategic decisions, this may be the job for you. Note that while our US offices do sometimes work with global clients (e.g., a nonprofit or philanthropy with headquarters based in the US and working globally) the majority of the client work we staff out of our US offices is with US-focused organizations.
There’s more info here, including links to the applications and a webinar on September 15. The application deadline is September 17 and the start date is summer 2027, when we’ll bring on a cohort of new hires in each US office.
I (Ari Gandolfo - GHD '17) won’t be doing informational interviews, but I will see your application: please make sure to write Global Human Development on your resume. Hoping some of you join Bridgespan, this time or in the future!
