Manager, Impact Advisory

The Role

The Manager, Impact Advisory will play a central role in leading and supporting client engagements that help design, launch, or refine community investment strategies focused on advancing equity and opportunity in under-resourced communities. This position sits within Broadstreet’s Impact Team, which is responsible for:

• Impact Advisory Services – helping clients develop fund strategies, conduct market and stakeholder research, evaluate impact, and design and implement impact measurement and management (IMM) systems.
• Internal Impact Management – building and refining Broadstreet’s own IMM systems and supporting the impact reporting and effectiveness of the funds and programs we manage.
• Field-Building Research – designing, leading, and publishing research projects that advance best practices, surface market gaps and needs, and strengthen the broader impact investing and community development ecosystem.

This role is primarily client-facing, focused on delivering high-quality advisory work across a range of engagements. However, it will also offer opportunities to contribute to internal impact management initiatives and to collaborate with other Broadstreet teams on shared client relationships.

• Conduct market scans, stakeholder interviews, and research to evaluate fund viability, community needs, and capital deployment opportunities.
• Develop and present impact theses, theories of change, and investment strategies aligned to client objectives.
• Manage timelines, deliverables, and internal resources to meet client expectations.

Support Fund Design and Measurement Systems

• Translate impact strategies into actionable fund structures, financial products, governance models, and operational processes.
• Develop IMM frameworks, including KPIs, data collection methods, and impact reporting systems.
• Support clients in embedding IMM into their investment decision-making and fund management practices.

Conduct Evaluations and Field-Building Research

• Evaluate fund performance against stated impact goals, identifying insights and improvement opportunities.
• Contribute to field-level research that advances the state of practice in community investment and impact finance.

Support Business Development

• Scope and prepare proposals in response to client needs and strategic opportunities.
• Collaborate with Broadstreet’s Impact team to build the advisory pipeline and strengthen client relationships.
• Represent Broadstreet at industry conferences, working groups, and partner convenings.

Collaborate Across Broadstreet

• Work closely with other teams at Broadstreet to deliver integrated services to clients.
• Provide occasional support to internal impact management projects, such as developing impact theses and IMM systems for new funds under management or enhancing data systems used across funds.

Who We’re Looking For

You are an experienced strategist and project manager who is motivated by the opportunity to help mission-driven investors deploy capital more effectively in underinvested communities. You’re comfortable leading projects, translating ideas into systems and tools, and navigating dynamic client environments. You thrive in collaborative, entrepreneurial settings and are excited to join a growing team working to make community investing more equitable, rigorous, and impactful.

Qualifications

• At least five years of experience in impact advisory, consulting, research, community development finance, or impact investing.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and deliver advisory engagements from start to finish.
• Strong experience with market research, stakeholder analysis, fund design, or IMM system development.
