Child Sexual Abuse Awareness and Education

About CACTX: 

In the last twenty-five years, CACTX has become the national leader in providing best-practice, evidence-based services to children impacted by abuse, serving nearly 1 million children statewide, through a statewide network of children’s advocacy centers. We have recently scaled our vision to eradicate child sexual abuse and have constructed a theory of change and strategy map and now need to identify high-impact activities to support our organization’s multi-year, multi-generational journey into this work. CACTX is a fast-paced, change-oriented, and optimistic organization that tackles complex social issues with high-impact, nuanced, and systems-level strategies. Our strategies are only successful through strong collaboration with partners. 

About the Strategy Development Principal Role: 

As a collaborative member of the Strategy Development and Evaluation Team, the Strategy Development Principal is responsible for identifying, developing, and executing high-impact, evidence-informed strategies in furtherance of the organization’s vision of eradicating child sexual abuse in Texas.

To achieve this outcome, the Principal will analyze, synthesize, and apply research findings, consult and collaborate with subject matter experts and team members, manage complex projects and timelines, and begin to cultivate strategic partnerships with key stakeholders at the state and federal levels from fields such as education, public relations, public health, criminal justice, and social work.
