Open position: policy analyst will shape policies that advance economic and racial justice

Jul 26, 2022
The Minnesota Budget Project is excited to announce our search for a Policy Analyst, who will create research and data-driven materials, identify and advocate for policy solutions, and collaborate with state and national partners to advance public policies that expand opportunity and economic security to all Minnesotans, particularly Minnesotans with low incomes and Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Minnesotans. This role is critical to our mission to advance policy solutions so that all Minnesotans can thrive, regardless of who they are or where they live.   

This position currently focuses on affordable health care and child care, and could include emerging state and federal issues and other areas reflecting the analyst’s expertise and interests. The Policy Analyst has skill development, peer-to-peer learning, and fellowship opportunities through the national State Priorities Partnership.

Why come work for us?
