​Link to More Information
 ​The Ford Foundation’s Gender, Racial and Ethnic Justice (GREJ) thematic area seeks a dynamic, curious and collaborative Program Officer (PO) to help shape and implement the Foundation’s work to advance social justice with a focus on criminal justice reform.  Based in New York, the Program Officer will support the GREJ thematic area strategy and grantmaking, specifically mass incarceration reform, and will work collaboratively with colleagues in other funding institutions to advance GREJ goals.
 
Reporting to the GREJ Director and working with a multidisciplinary team of Program Officers, the PO will be responsible for recommending grants to advance criminal justice reform and play a leading role in shaping specific grants and other initiatives, ensuring all activities are designed to deliver the goals of the thematic strategy. The PO will work collaboratively to develop the Foundation’s grant recommendations, establish and implement a monitoring and evaluation framework and ensure shared learning across programmatic teams. In addition, they will serve as a ‘connector’ of grantees, and work with practitioners, government officials, scholars, NGOs, corporate sector leaders and other donors to leverage positive impact toward common goals.

The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of criminal justice advocacy experience in U.S. social justice contexts and be deeply knowledgeable about mass incarceration and the criminal justice reform movement as well as understand the roles that policy advocacy, organizing, social services and philanthropy play in advancing social change.  Applicants who were formerly incarcerated and/or have conviction histories are encouraged to apply.
