Job description
Mission Measurement (MM) is the world 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. We believe social outcomes can be standardized and measured consistently.
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 are the premier implementors of the IGR with federal, state, and local agencies, working with them to track results, 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: building measurement frameworks, analyzing program portfolios, and translating data into 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 evaluation, data, or social impact, 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. Candidates should be located near Washington, DC.
