Strengthening health and ending the pandemic
Building an economy for all
Tackling climate change and environmental injustice
Advancing racial equity and justice
Restoring social trust in democracy
Responsibilities:
Conduct policy research on a range of topics related to building an economy that works for all.
Generate and conduct new quantitative analyses, interpret relevant qualitative and quantitative research, and develop policy ideas to drive American Progress’ mission and goals.
Write and edit accessible op-eds, articles, briefs, and reports that translate complex policies and analyses into digestible information and policy recommendations for different audiences.
Develop rapid-response materials, including analyses and talking points, on tight deadlines and review and contribute to comment letters, proposed bills and rules, and other relevant policy procedures.
Develop and manage projects independently to meet deadlines.
Interface formally and informally with media, external groups and collaborators, and policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels and their staff.
Work with other policy teams to review and consult on a broad range of policy areas as they intersect with this position’s expertise and collaborate to develop strategies to ensure that products and messages reach target audiences.
Work with Advocacy and Outreach department members to develop messaging strategies and actions for relevant policy areas.
Identify and engage with opportunities to build strong relationships with external collaborators, partners, lawmakers, and other stakeholders.
Perform other duties as assigned.
Requirements and qualifications:
Demonstrate an interest and/or prior experience in workforce development, postsecondary and/or apprenticeship models of training, or employer practices around hiring, recruitment, and retention.
Three to five years of professional experience in policy, government, or nonprofit work is required for the Policy Analyst role; at least five years of experience is required for the Senior Policy Analyst role.
An advanced degree—such as a Master of Arts, Master of Public Policy, Master of Social Work, or Master of Public Health—or equivalent experience in a public policy, social science, or economics discipline or a specialized policy area— including workforce development, housing, education, or equivalent—is preferred but not required.
Flexibility as a teammate, with a willingness to work on a wide variety of policies and issues based on the needs of the team, department, and organization.
Knowledge of and/or strong interest in policymaking and legislative processes.
Ability to form and maintain strong working partnerships with external collaborators and ability to solicit stakeholder input for product and policy development.
Strong ability to manipulate, analyze, and critically interpret data, including large secondary data sets.

Experience or interest in working with federal or state workforce or postsecondary data sets would be beneficial.
Strong writing skills and a proven record of producing written products on a short timeline.
Strong ability to conceptualize problems and develop research questions, analyses, and policy recommendations.
Ability to work well under pressure and meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to initiate projects and balance multiple projects at once.

Organization Overview GreenLight Fund is a national nonprofit that partners with communities to create opportunities for individuals and families to move out of poverty by matching needs with proven programs that drive results.

Organization Overview
GreenLight Fund is a national nonprofit that partners with communities to create opportunities for individuals and families to move out of poverty by matching needs with proven programs that drive results.
Deeply connected to local communities, we facilitate game-changing collaboration, break down barriers and build momentum so individuals and communities move forward, especially those historically impacted by systemic racial and economic inequities.
Each year, in each GreenLight site, we focus on identifying one, critical, unmet community need, and begin to take specific action against that to make real change. We identify and assess programs with successful track records of meeting a similar need elsewhere, and partner with the community to invite in and launch a program with the best local fit. GreenLight makes multi-year, catalytic investments in our portfolio organizations, galvanizes a community of support and facilitates ongoing collaboration to ensure impact. Our impact increases exponentially as we build a growing portfolio of best-in-class organizations making measurable progress each year–all across the GreenLight network.
