Community Science Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Community Science:
Want to use research, data, strategy, and community engagement to help build healthier, more just, and equitable communities? So do we.
Community Science is a national consulting firm that partners with foundations, nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations to help build healthy, just, and equitable communities. We partner with clients to use research, evaluation, strategy, organizational effectiveness, capacity building, and community engagement to understand complex challenges, strengthen systems, and co-create practical solutions that help clients understand what's happening, why it matters, and what to do next.
Our work spans topics like youth engagement, health equity, economic and community development, systems change, philanthropy, and organizational effectiveness and capacity building. Every project starts with listening. We work alongside clients, communities, and stakeholders to understand complex challenges and co-create practical solutions that lead to meaningful change.
We're a fully remote team of curious, collaborative consultants who care deeply about quality, continuous learning, and making a meaningful difference. We ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, learn from one another, and believe great consulting is as much about relationships and judgment as it is about research and data.
If you're looking for a place where you'll continue learning, contribute to meaningful work, and help clients create lasting change, we'd love to meet you.
Community Science is a wholly owned subsidiary of BCT Partners. Together, we combine Community Science's expertise in research, evaluation, and community engagement with BCT Partners' broader national consulting capabilities to help clients create meaningful change.
