A few administrative items and some edujobs and opportunities – including a great job at WestEd and several at Bellwether.
First, just a reminder you can get Eduwonk posts by email via Substack – it’s the same content as here, just in your inbox.
WestEd is hiring for a Senior Education Finance Associate.
As a Senior Education Finance Associate in the Strategic Resource Planning and Implementation content area, you will support schools, districts, and state education agencies across the country to more efficiently, effectively, and equitably leverage the resources available to them. In a time when education is seeing both unprecedented levels of federal funding and unprecedented student need, you will engage with cabinet-level education leaders to transform resource allocation processes within K-12 systems, encourage a system-wide commitment to equity-centered funding, and advise on decisions that would broaden all students’ opportunities for success. This position will leverage deep knowledge of school finance and funding streams and education policy to support clients with systems change and strategic allocation of resources to support the needs of students and schools.
Serving as a project leader for multiple projects, the Senior Education Finance Associate will be asked to contribute to four key team functions: consulting/technical assistance for district, regional, and state education leaders; tool and resource development; project management; and knowledge building and dissemination.

Will help your hiring team or full team appreciate some differences between the branches, skills vets have that you may not realize, and how vets can add to your team in different ways.
