ABOUT THIRD SECTOR CAPITAL PARTNERS, INC.
Third Sector leads governments, high-performing nonprofits, and private funders in building evidence-based initiatives that address society's most persistent challenges. As experts in innovative public-private contracting and financing strategies, Third Sector is an architect and builder of the nation's most promising Pay for Success (PFS) projects. These projects are rewriting the book on how governments contract for social services: funding programs that work to measurably improve the lives of people most in need while saving taxpayer dollars.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Boston and San Francisco, Third Sector is supported through philanthropic and government sources, including a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Social Innovation Fund.
OUR ORGANIZATION AT-A-GLANCE:
- We manage the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' $27 million Juvenile Justice Pay for Success Initiative – the largest PFS contract in the country.
- We helped launch the nation's first county-level PFS project in Cuyahoga County, OH (Cleveland), as the government advisor and transaction coordinator.
- Our team's work has been published or cited in the Economist, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and employees have presented at a variety of conferences including the White House, Harvard Business School, and international events like SOCAP.
ABOUT THE SOCIAL INNOVATION FUND
Third Sector is a proud grantee of the Corporation for National and Community Service's Social Innovation Fund program. The Social Innovation Fund, a key White House initiative, combines public and private resources to grow the impact of innovative, community-based solutions that have compelling evidence of improving the lives of people in low-income communities throughout the United States.
Our goal for this three-year, $1.9 million dollar grant is to accelerate the development of PFS projects across multiple levels of government nationwide and to share lessons learned with a broad community of stakeholders to increase adoption of evidence-based policymaking. To achieve this we will hold an annual competition to select Sub-Recipients – high-performing, high-potential social initiatives – that are positioned to scale with financial and capacity-building support derived from this fund.
ABOUT THE ROLE: SOCIAL INNOVATION FUND DIRECTOR
As the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) Director you will quarterback all aspects of Third Sector's Innovation Fund Grant, including Sub-Recipient selection through our transparent competition model, federal compliance and reporting, and delivery of services to Sub-Recipients.
As the knowledge center and main driver of our SIF activities, your impeccable project management skills will be essential in successfully managing and coordinating our internal team with external stakeholders on SIF projects, a key element of our business.
Your natural working habitat is in a fast-paced, dynamic, and rigorous environment where you're expected to take initiative to deliver results. You always hold your work to high ethical standards and – above all else – you're motivated by a belief that Pay for Success initiatives will accelerate America towards a performance-driven social sector.
