Pivot Evaluation is a local organization dedicated to community development.  We provide needs assessment, evaluation and strategic planning services to government agencies and nonprofits.  We hold high evaluation and human subjects’ protections standards.  Pivot works with program staff to develop and manage accountability measures that are realistic and attainable.  Multi-level analyses ensure the evaluation captures unanticipated consequences and follows a ‘big picture’ direction.  Mixed methods form the basis of our approach combined with promoting equity and justice.  Pivot has developed team-based approaches to safeguard project completion and improve our product quality while maintaining client communication and trust.  Our reports pay careful attention to evaluative terms.  Our core values are excellence, collaboration, diversity, and service.  We work hard while playing a part in solving community challenges with our client partners.

Pivot Evaluation is looking for a program evaluator with a master’s degree, especially in one of the social sciences or public health.  We prefer an additional two or more years program evaluation experience and familiarity with the South Valley and/or International District.  Open to alternate pathways to program evaluation.  

Responsibilities include the following:

• Write proposals with team support 

• Design evaluations collaboratively with Pivot team and clients 

• Conduct literature search 

• Plan and manage data collection, including survey instruments, interviews, feedback forms other creative methods for gaining participant information

• Conduct qualitative data analysis

• Conduct quantitative data analysis and statistical tests

• Summarize data in tables, graphs/charts and narrative formats

• Create graphics, charts and creative formats for communicating result simply 

• Write reports with Pivot Team Support. 

• Conduct other activities as needed to support project teams in the organization.

Prefer Full time 35-40 hr per week (though negotiable). Flexible hours; vacation/holiday/sick leave.

$35 per hour to start and negotiable depending on experience. Small but increasing benefits.

Tired of submitting applications to robots? Tired of ridiculous screen procedures unrelated to job skills and knowledge?  Give us a call!  

Curt Mearns, Owner/Senior Evaluator, (505) 550-1527.

NMCAN serves socioeconomically disadvantaged youth who have been involved in foster care or juvenile justice. NMCAN offers financial literacy, economic development, and community building programs. Pivot collaborated with NMCAN to engage stakeholders for inclusion in extensive qualitative data collection including: NMCAN staff, service populations, and partners. Project findings helped NMCAN better understand and articulate the mechanisms of their success while also highlighting opportunities to explore improvements. The evaluation described the relative importance and relational dependency of housing and other socio-economic issues among NMCAN’s service population. Pivot validated NMCAN’s existing approach and discovered evidence for potential program developments to address critical youth housing service gaps.
