The Bloomberg Center for Government Excellence at Johns Hopkins University (GovEx or the Center) seeks to hire a Senior Advisor to join our team of government, data, and performance practice experts to support senior government leaders across the United States, Canada, and Latin America to use data to get better results for residents.
Senior Advisors play a critical role in our organization, as the staff who directly interact with city leaders. Senior Advisors deliver world class coaching and technical assistance, facilitate training and workshops, collaborate on the design of new learning opportunities for city teams, and support cities to create enduring organizational impact through data.

GovEx is dedicated to supporting governments in leveraging the power of data to identify, understand, and dismantle legacies of structural and entrenched racism.
