About Reformers Academy: Reformers Academy (RA) recruits, trains, and deploys policy-interested professionals into positions of influence in the healthcare arena, equipping them to empower individuals and families and fight for the future of the next generation, our economy, and the American Dream.

As a new and growing organization, we have built a policy training academy for working professionals who want to focus on healthcare policy. We are looking for a passionate, talented, and hard-working professional committed to this mission to join our team.

Our core values are:

· Invested in people -

· Partnership-focused

· Intent on continuous improvement and challenging the status quo

· Practice-oriented

About the Outreach and Alumni Support Manager:

We are looking for an individual who loves to build connections to further the mission of our organization and help with the behind-the-scenes work to make that possible.

As a talent development organization, we are on the hunt for top talent from every corner of this country and that takes work. We need someone who wants to pursue new relationships in state capitols, at think tanks and advocacy organizations, and in DC. We are looking for someone who loves the challenge of galvanizing others to be part of our mission of placing talent in key positions to influence policy.

This role will directly support our Director of Admissions and Outreach, as well as our Fellows Engagement Manager. Responsibilities will include scheduling calls with alumni and outside organizations, managing the logistics of up to 300 fellowship admissions interviews per year, helping with the administration of fellowship sessions during our Spring and Fall training windows, and assisting with the delivery of high-quality support for Reformers Academy alumni (newsletters, events, online community, etc.).

In the course of this work, the Outreach, Admissions, and Alumni Support Manager will grow their own personal network significantly and have the opportunity to interact with leading reformers around the country.

Compensation:

Based on experience, range between $60,000-$70,000 as an independent contractor.

Reformers Academy Core Values:

Invested in People First

We believe transformative change occurs when talented and strategic policy practitioners (inside and outside of government) drive it. That’s why we’re in the talent development business. We enjoy helping people find rewarding policy careers, where they can make a difference in the most important policy frontiers of our time.

Partnership-Focused

Reformers Academy is movement-minded, meaning we seek to broaden and strengthen the pool of talent available to serve in key government roles (at the state and federal levels) and aligned reform organizations, such as think tanks and advocacy groups. We recognize that when we develop talent well and guide someone into an education or health policy career, it is as beneficial to the movement they are entering as it is to the person him/herself. As such, we work daily to find ways that we can support – and not compete with – like-minded partners.

Intent on Continuous Improvement and Challenging the Status Quo

We are unashamed to say that our healthcare and education systems are routinely failing the very people they are supposed to support. Most students in America do not read or write on grade level. In recent years, in many places, student learning has regressed or shown no improvement. In health care, costs continue to rise dramatically as government intervention in healthcare increases and too many patients lack timely access to high-quality healthcare. Things aren’t working well and must get better. Both the healthcare and education systems are dominated by legacy structures and players that do not easily innovate and are generally resistant to being held accountable for student or patient outcomes.

At Reformers Academy, we view the existing power structures in the healthcare and education systems with skepticism and encourage participants to be disruptive thinkers – challenging current norms and envisioning better paths forward. Together, education and healthcare spending accounts for the lion’s share of state-level budgets. Healthcare costs consume an ever-larger share of family budgets as well. Taxpayers have a right to expect better results for the money being invested in these arenas.

As an organization, we are also introspective, regularly refining our methods and programming to continually improve and deliver the best possible outcomes for the people and organizations we support and serve.

Practice-Oriented

Our aim is to educate changemakers who can skillfully operate and navigate the realities of the American political system and government structures. Our instruction merges theory, history, and practice to ensure our fellows graduate with the knowledge and skills they need to be effective advocates and public servants.

We also don’t tell our participants what to think; instead, we provide a firm policy foundation underneath their feet, which gives them the knowledge and confidence to think more creatively, innovate, and more effectively drive change.

Duties:

As directed, reach out to policy leaders inside and outside of government to raise awareness about Reformers Academy’s fellowship programs.

Assist with the administration of the fellowships when needed (mostly virtual training, plus one in-person fly-in weekend each Spring and Fall).

Assist with the administration of continuing education sessions and the drafting/delivery of alumni newsletters for both academies.

Assist with the management of Reformers Academy’s database infrastructure, which allows us to provide high-quality support to our graduates and connect them with the right open positions in government and aligned organizations.

Assist in the scheduling and execution of admissions interviews of applicants to our academies and career conversations with fellows and graduates.

Participate in the Fall or Spring cohort of ERA and/or HRA with the other fellows to gain foundational policy knowledge and changemaker skills.

If interested in education policy, participate in the KAP-run Education Policy Concentration group.

Requirements:

Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

Excellent interpersonal skills

Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Docs. Additional proficiency in Airtable, Basecamp, Constant Contact and Mighty Network is helpful

Ability to travel minimally
