Associate, Consulting

Description:Associate, Consulting Washington, DC Our Company 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.ResponsibilitiesAnalysis & Subject-Matter SupportApply subject-matter expertise in areas such as performance measurement, evaluation, data analysis, or impact measurement to client engagementsSupport the development of strategic frameworks, assessments, and recommendations for public-sector clientsConduct quantitative and qualitative analysis related to outcomes, performance, and effectivenessClient DeliverablesProduce clear, accurate, and well-structured client deliverables, including slides, memos, and visualizationsSynthesize complex information into concise insights for diverse public-sector audiencesSupport preparation of materials for client meetings, workshops, and working sessionsProject & Team CollaborationSupport Managers in executing project plans and meeting aggressive timelinesTrack tasks, inputs, and dependencies to ensure smooth project deliveryCollaborate with colleagues across strategy and data-focused rolesLive our core valuesBe Passionate about Social ImpactBe RigorousBe RelatableMaintain a Commercial MindsetChallenge ConventionYOU BRING1–3 years of experience in consulting, professional services, or public sector rolesSubject-matter experience in evaluation, data analysis, impact measurement, financial analysis, or related areasInterest in domestic social policy, grantmaking, or public-sector funding Strong analytical and problem-solving skillsExcellent written, verbal, and presentation skillsHigh attention to detail and ability to manage multiple prioritiesA self-starter orientation: you own things end-to-end, move without being pushed, and thrive when the path isn’t fully pavedQuantitative skills and comfort turning data into clear narratives for non-technical audiencesExperience with AI tools as part of analytical or research workflowsSalary and Benefits$90,000-$100,000 starting salary; Benefits include comprehensive healthcare coverage, flexible vacation policy, hybrid work, 401K, and a collaborative work culture.
