The Environment Program at the Hewlett Foundation develops and implements grantmaking strategies that engage multiple sectors, geographies, and philanthropic levers. While program officers on the Environment team each manage distinct grant portfolios, they also operate within a highly matrixed and collaborative structure, affording the ability to contribute to, and support the whole of, the Environment Program’s strategic approach.
For this particular program officer role, the portfolio will focus on achieving deep decarbonization by 2050 across the U.S. economy. The Program Officer is strategic, plans several years out, listens to grantee and other partners’ feedback, and deploys a creative and open mind in managing the portfolio, recognizing there is no one right approach to the work.
