Job description
Mission Measurement (MM) is a recognized leader in measuring social outcomes. We help federal, state, and local government define, analyze, and improve the results of grant investments in education, housing, public health, workforce development, and more.
At the center of our work is the Impact Genome Registry, the first-ever database with outcomes and cost benchmarks from over 2.2 million social programs. We help public agencies leverage IGR to track grant performance, uncover "what works," and invest where tax dollars will have the greatest impact.
Our goal is to maximize the impact of every dollar spent on social change.
Most grantmakers don’t know what is actually working. Help change that.
Mission Measurement seeks an analytically strong Associate to work directly with government clients—including federal agencies, states, and other funding bodies—on outcomes measurement and evidence-informed grantmaking. Associates work alongside Managers and Directors on real client problems: analyzing the efficiency and effectiveness of grant portfolios and changing processes to improve funding decisions. This is a consulting role, not a research or policy position; you’ll move fast, adapt often, and produce polished work for senior audiences.
This role is a good fit if you’re early in your career, bring some subject-matter grounding in social impact or government data, and are energized by ambiguity rather than slowed by it. We’re a small, growing team—you’ll have real ownership of your work from day one and exposure to clients and leadership.
This role is mostly remote with the intent to move in-office in 2027. Candidates should be located near Washington DC.
