Prevail is a new foundation dedicated to pursuing bold goals. We set a social change goal, find philanthropists who have a similar vision, raise a pooled fund, and then make grants. Rather than choosing a general issue area (e.g., education), each pooled fund chooses a simple, targeted goal. Provided $55M in funding to date, to support 27 partners across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Helped partners to strengthen foundational learning outcomes for over 3 million children. Hired 35+ mission-driven team members. Executed dozens of in-field projects to help support key functions for our implementing partners.

Research Director
Prevail Fund
Role Description Prevail Fund is looking for a leader to build and lead our Research team as we scale. Research is core to what Prevail does - it drives how we assess new philanthropic opportunities, strengthen our existing Education Fund, and make decisions as we launch new funds over the coming years. We're looking for someone who can lead and develop this team to ensure we have world-class research capacity as Prevail scales. If you're a research leader who enjoys building high-performing teams, loves diving into new sectors, and wants to use those skills to mobilize significant philanthropic capital towards some of the world's most important problems - we'd love to hear from you. Working closely with David and Andrew, you'll lead Prevail's Research function - setting the vision and direction for the team, while remaining hands-on in the work itself. You'll work with a team of researchers conducting high-quality, actionable research that spans our Education Fund, our New Initiatives pipeline, and future funds as Prevail grows. This is not an academic role, nor a pure people-management role; you will both develop a strong research team and drive analytical work yourself, producing practical recommendations that Prevail can launch as ambitious, well-funded programs. - Set the vision and strategy for Prevail's Research function. - Lead and develop the Research team. - Drive Prevail's strategy for assessing new philanthropic opportunities. - Build and own complex quantitative and qualitative models. - Identify, diligence, and evaluate high-impact interventions. - Synthesize and translate evidence into crisp, transparent outputs. - Answer operational and programmatic questions when evaluating new opportunities. Qualifications - 9+ years experience in conducting research to drive decision-making. - 4+ years leading, mentoring, and managing other researchers. - Experience with implementing organizations in global development is a strong asset, but not required. - Ability to conduct goal-oriented research and structure the most efficient analytical path. - Clear tracking and outlining of key conclusions throughout the research process. - Integration of quantitative and qualitative data from diverse fields. - Creative communication skills to develop outputs that motivate diverse audiences. Requirements - Research experience. - Leadership experience. - Action orientation. - Transparent thinking. - Synthesis skills. Benefits - Full time, permanent contract. - Drive real impact by mobilizing philanthropic capital that will impact millions of lives. - Flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in a timezone between -6 UTC (US Central Time) and +3 UTC (EAT). - Competitive salary based on experience, skills, and location. - Meaningful benefits including health insurance and wellness benefits. - Growth opportunities with strong manager support and targeted feedback. - Flexible leave policy, including 25 days PTO, plus public holidays. Company Description Prevail is a new foundation dedicated to catalyzing large-scale social change by supporting private philanthropists and field implementers to pursue more ambitious and impactful goals. We work with private philanthropists to fund specific initiatives for 10-12 years. Rather than diversifying across multiple causes, we prioritize goal-driven investments in proven solutions with the potential to reshape global norms. - Our first fund aims to improve foundational education for over 27.5 million children across 11 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. - Prevail provides patient capital to implementers, primarily in the form of grants that grow over time as our partner organizations scale. - In our first three years, we've made significant progress against our ambitious fundraising targets. - Partnered with 30+ organizations across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. - Hired 35+ mission-driven team members globally. - Run dozens of execution projects to strengthen key functions for our partners.
