Chief People and Culture Officer

About the position The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity. CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states. It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and other communities that face systemic barriers to opportunity. CBPP promotes policies to build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term. CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen disparities, and worsen health outcomes. As a member of the executive leadership team, the Chief People and Culture Officer (CPCO) will develop and execute CBPP’s overall people strategy, advance a positive organizational culture, and act as a strategic partner to organizational leaders to align with organizational goals. The CPCO will oversee efforts to drive human resource policies, procedures, and implementation to ensure that the organization can hire and retain talented and diverse staff who are well-prepared to help the organization meet its mission while fostering an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible workplace. The Chief will ensure that staff are supported in their roles and have opportunities for development, creativity, and advancement and that the organization’s culture is welcoming and inclusive, supporting staff engagement, well-being, and success. The Chief will report to the Executive Vice President, Legal Department and Administration and will oversee the People and Culture team of four and the Office Services team of three. The Chief People and Culture Officer will work closely with the Chief Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Officer (CEIBO) in the critical work of ensuring that all staff feel a sense of mattering and belonging.
