About the role

  • The Career Outcomes Manager is responsible for stewarding the story of how BYU-Pathway students move from education into employment, and for helping the organization understand what those outcomes mean.
  • This role focuses on explaining what is happening in student employment outcomes, why those patterns exist, and how Career Development leaders communicate progress, challenges, and impact with clarity and confidence.
  • The Career Outcomes Manager integrates quantitative employment data with qualitative student stories and employer perspectives to surface meaningful patterns, successes, and areas of concern.
  • When outcomes do not align with expectations, this role leads deeper investigation to understand root causes and contributing factors rather than stopping at surface-level metrics.
  • This position translates outcomes into clear narratives, evidence, and learning that can be shared with internal stakeholders and ecclesiastical leaders.
  • The Career Outcomes Manager helps ensure that Career Development decisions, messaging, and strategy are grounded in honest evidence, lived student experience, and a clear understanding of the employment landscape.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree required in a relevant field such as social sciences, education, economics, public policy, business, analytics, or a related discipline.
  • Advanced degree preferred in a field related to research, evaluation, education, workforce development, or policy.
  • Minimum of three years of professional experience in roles involving research, evaluation, analysis, program learning, or strategic decision support.
  • Experience working with education, employment, workforce, or program outcomes strongly preferred.
  • Ability to work confidently with employment outcome data, including job types, wages, and progression over time.
  • Experience interpreting quantitative data to identify patterns, gaps, and areas requiring deeper investigation.
  • Comfort explaining what data does and does not show, including limitations and uncertainty.
  • Skill in collecting and synthesizing qualitative information such as interviews, surveys, written narratives, or case studies.
  • Ability to identify themes and patterns across individual experiences rather than relying on anecdotes.
  • Judgment to surface both positive and challenging findings in a balanced and responsible way.
  • Strong ability to connect quantitative outcomes with qualitative context to explain what is happening and why.
  • Experience translating evidence into clear narratives that resonate with non-technical audiences.
  • Ability to develop stories and examples that accurately reflect underlying data and lived experience.
  • Strong curiosity and critical thinking skills, with a focus on root-cause analysis rather than surface-level reporting.
  • Ability to ask good questions, test assumptions, and pursue clarity when results are unexpected.
  • Comfort working with ambiguity and incomplete information.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to adapt messaging for leadership, operational teams, and ecclesiastical audiences.
  • Experience partnering with leaders and colleagues to inform decisions, shape understanding, and support alignment.
  • Demonstrated judgment in handling sensitive student and employment information.
  • Understanding of confidentiality, consent, and ethical use of data in education and workforce contexts.
  • Willingness to learn new tools, methods, and domains as Career Development evolves.
  • Ability to adjust approach as questions, priorities, and organizational needs change.
