Organizational Psychologist jobs in Washington

Do you have a passion for organizing people, tasks, and events? Do you excel at coordinating tasks and events so that things run efficiently? Interested in joining a company that is committed to social justice and equity? If you answered yes, then the Office Coordinator role at ORS Impact could be a great fit for you!  

About ORS Impact:  ORS Impact is a consulting firm that helps clients clarify, measure, and align around their social impact outcomes using evaluation, outcomes-based strategy and planning, theory of change, and robust internal MLE systems. We support philanthropies, nonprofits, and government agencies in their most challenging and complex work with our expertise in advocacy and policy change, networks and coalitions, systems change, and initiatives and strategies. 

“Impact” is not just part of our name but a core value for why we do this work. Implicit in this value is the belief that the world can be more equitable, and that accelerating social progress will lead to better lives for everyone.

These statements, however, do not explicitly address the systems of power that grant privilege and access unequally, particularly based on race, but also based on age, sexual orientation, gender, immigration status, or disability. These systems underlie the issues our clients seek to address and can be perpetuated and strengthened even as well-intentioned people seek to make positive social change.

We believe that diversity makes us stronger. We believe that all people are equal and that holding some groups of people down holds all of us down. We believe that these issues are complex and that we will stumble in our efforts. However, the goal of a more just, fair, and inclusive society requires changing how we work together, how we work with clients, and proactively finding ways for our organization to make a difference in the fight for a more equitable world.
