[YEP-DC] Job Posting: Research Associate at Whiteboard Advisors

Whiteboard Advisors is a strategy and consulting firm that focuses on education research, communications, and advocacy. We conduct complex policy and market research, develop and implement creative communications strategies, and partner with the most successful organizations and entrepreneurs to take ideas to market and make an impact.

 

Our team members have been on both sides of the policy and implementation experience. We have:

  • Held leadership positions within state and federal agencies, Congress, and the White House;
  • Advised foundations and corporations on their strategies and corporate social responsibility initiatives;
  • Counseled investors, corporations, and government leaders on the latest developments in federal, state, and local policy and politics; and
  • Assisted government agencies with deploying non-profit and for-profit solutions that address public policy needs.

We are currently looking to fill an entry-level position that supports a variety of research and advocacy efforts, and manages the administrative portfolio for the firm's executive leadership. The position provides a unique opportunity to learn the tools of the trade in close proximity to our senior staff. The ideal applicant will: 

  • Be comfortable with working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment;
  • Be able to juggle shifting priorities and needs;
  • Possess strong communication, writing, and research skills;
  • Have an acute attention to detail; and  
  • Be able to learn and adapt quickly.

Excellent people skills and good humor are always a plus! Displaying interest, experience, or academic focus in education, policy, or entrepreneurship are all advantages, but we are open to hearing from qualified applicants of all backgrounds.


If interested, please submit a resume and cover letter to Ben Watsky (watsky@whiteboardadvisors.com). We look forward to hearing from you!
