Washington, United States Groundwork Collaborative Full time

**Associate Director, Economic Analysis**

**Reports to**: Director of Policy and Research

**Location**:Washington, DC

**Department**: Policy and Research

**Status**: Full time; exempt

Launched in 2018, the Groundwork Collaborative is driven by the idea that We Are The Economy: when all of us are doing well, that is when our economy thrives. We fight for progressive economic policy and narrative change that builds accountable public power, breaks up concentrations of private power, and affirmatively centers people too long left out of prosperity. We understand that taken together, these actions will lead to a stronger and more resilient economy.

Groundwork’s unique structure - part strategic communications, part think tank, and part issue advocacy organization - allows us to drive narrative and policy change with credibility, expertise, and impact. We work across four core audiences - the media, policymakers, economic experts, and grasstops leaders - and use targeted policy campaigns and timely research and messaging to advance a truly inclusive economic worldview.

We’re savvy, strategic thinkers who know how to spot an opportunity to advance our worldview and influence national economic policy debates, identify new audiences for Groundwork’s resources, and support and amplify the great work our partners are already doing so we’re all better aligned to achieve our common goals. We’re fearless in our approach to narrative change and are focused more on how to make the right economic messages popular tomorrow than we are on the poll-tested messages of today.

Groundwork Collaborative is searching for an Associate Director, Economic Analysis.

**Position Summary**

The Associate Director will serve as Groundwork’s lead data analyst and in-house authority on fiscal and monetary trends and economic research. The AD will help us learn and understand developments within the tax debate, inflation and pricing, the labor market, corporate profits, GDP and growth, and other topics. Reporting to the Director of Policy and Research, the Associate Director will leverage their facility with economic analysis to unearth stories about the state of the economy, translating data into meaningful insights. The AD will conduct original and timely research to intervene in economic debates, producing incisive reports and other written products to enhance Groundwork’s impact and reach. As a lead internal advisor, the Associate Director will also clarify technical and academic debates around the economy, ensuring Groundwork is always at the forefront of economic discourse. Finally, the AD will support the Director in policy engagements with peer organizations and on Capitol Hill.

- Represent Groundwork at conferences, on Capitol Hill, and other public speaking venues and engagements.
- Identify and maintain relationships with policy experts and academic researchers who can serve as co-authors, partners, reviewers, and validators;
- Perform other duties as assigned.
