This position is being posted as a blended role and will be filled as a Program Director 1 or Program Director 2 depending on the candidate's qualifications and experience.
The Center for Health Systems Effectiveness (CHSE) at OHSU is a health policy research center focused on actionable, cross-disciplinary, collaborative research.
The Principal State Evaluation Manager (PSEM) to lead CHSE’s large, multi-year state policy research and evaluation contracts. This is a highly visible leadership role for someone with deep expertise in Medicaid policy and evaluation and a track record of strategic stakeholder engagement. This is not a faculty-track position.
The PSEM is accountable for the successful execution of CHSE’s evaluation of Washington State’s Medicaid Transformation Project (MTP), the state’s Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver. The role spans three connected areas: research oversight and delivery, stakeholder relations, and center leadership.
Research oversight and delivery. The PSEM has final decision-making authority over MTP project management and coordinates faculty and quantitative and qualitative research teams across many evaluation components. This includes providing study teams with the direction and information they need, developing and maintaining timelines, and ensuring appropriate staffing in line with the budget and work needs. The PSEM is responsible for bringing all work together into cohesive final products and often writes reports, manuscripts, and presentations directly.
Stakeholder relations. Strong partnerships are essential both to delivering impactful evaluations and to winning future contracts. The PSEM builds and maintains collaborative relationships with state legislative offices and agency leaders at the program, division, and department levels. Throughout the contract lifecycle, the PSEM bridges differences in how researchers and state partners approach methods, priorities, and timelines.
Center leadership. The PSEM works with a high degree of autonomy and serves on CHSE’s Strategic Research Governing Team, which sets the Center’s vision, develops annual objectives and key results (OKRs), guides center-wide resource planning, and shares CHSE’s findings with policy audiences to inform policy change. The PSEM will serve as a staff mentor and may directly supervise staff. The PSEM works with and is supported by CHSE faculty Principal Investigators, quantitative and qualitative analysts, and a regulatory specialist.
CHSE is committed to a welcoming, inclusive work environment that promotes diversity. We put that into practice through distributed leadership, where staff at every level help shape decisions, and a culture of continuous growth built on feedback in all directions.
Classification and salary are both commensurate with experience, education, and internal equity.

Tips for Your Remote Evaluation Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote evaluation manager openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through location-based noise.
Show async communication skills up front
Remote evaluation managers coordinate with program staff, funders, and data teams entirely in writing. Revise your cover letter and resume to highlight written reporting, remote stakeholder updates, and tools like Slack or Asana you've used to keep distributed projects on track.
Build a shareable evaluation portfolio
Compile two or three sanitized evaluation reports, logic models, or data summaries you've produced. Remote hiring managers move fast and a portfolio gives them direct evidence of your analytical and communication quality before the first interview.
Prepare for remote-specific interview questions
Expect questions about how you manage data collection timelines without in-person contact, how you present findings to remote stakeholders, and what tools you use to stay organized. Practice clear, concise verbal answers since remote interviews rely entirely on how you communicate on screen.
Remote Evaluation Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote evaluation manager job?
Target remote-first organizations and distributed teams in education, public health, and social services, where evaluation work is well-suited to async collaboration. Remote employers screen for self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to manage data collection and reporting cycles without in-person oversight. A portfolio of past evaluation reports, logic models, or program assessments gives you a concrete edge over candidates with similar credentials.
Which companies hire remote evaluation managers?
Remote evaluation manager roles are posted by General Motors (GM), Stitch Fix, and Baker Hughes and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first nonprofits, edtech firms, public health contractors, and distributed consulting teams are among the most consistent hirers of this role.
Can you get a remote evaluation manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level evaluation roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage workflows independently from day one. Nonprofits, university research centers, and government contractors occasionally hire junior evaluators remotely. Showing familiarity with evaluation frameworks, data tools like Excel or SPSS, and async project management practices can substitute for direct experience when a formal resume is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote evaluation manager jobs?
Usually, but the field weighs demonstrated skills alongside credentials. Most remote employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in social science, public health, education, or a related field, and many prefer a master's. Candidates who can show hands-on experience designing evaluation plans, analyzing program data, and communicating findings clearly often progress past degree-focused screening, especially at smaller remote-first organizations.
Which industries hire the most remote evaluation managers?
Most remote evaluation manager openings sit in Retail, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams to assess program outcomes across geographies, making remote evaluation work a natural fit.
