The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation is a private grant-making foundation based in Omaha, Nebraska. With annual grant-making in excess of $500 million, it is one of the largest private donors supporting sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice, and the largest supporter of this work in the U.S. The Foundation is dedicated to achieving its mission through programming that is both respectful of women’s fertility desires and evidence based. With a core mission of preventing unintended pregnancy and ensuring access to safe abortion in the U.S. and globally, the Foundation works towards a world in which every woman controls her reproduction and all reproductive decisions are treated with dignity and respect. In addition to its work in reproductive health, the Foundation also enables low-income students in Nebraska to attend and succeed in college.

The Research & Evaluation Unit drives learning across the Foundation by providing technical support, guidance, and measurement expertise to the U.S., Global, and College Access and Success Programs. The team includes the Director and one Administrative Assistant, six Senior R&E Officers, two Officers, and four Associates. They have a diverse staff, about half of whom are people of color and about a quarter are LGBTQ+. R&E is eager to bring on board a Research & Evaluation Officer with a primary focus on supporting the work of the U.S. Program. Reporting to a Senior Research & Evaluation Officer, the REO will provide technical guidance and research/evaluation expertise to the U.S. Program team, leverage learning across evaluation studies, facilitate relationships with external evaluation partners and other stakeholders, synthesize evidence and information produced by a broad array of sources, and participate in R&E’s DEIJ team-wide efforts
