Job description

Status: Full time; non-exempt
Location: Washington D.C. This is a hybrid workplace, with Mondays and Wednesdays in the office and three days remote, as well as the occasional need to work in person for events and special projects
Salary: $80,000-$90,000
About Groundwork:
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.
