About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.

Employees enjoy full medical coverage, optional dental and vision packages, a 401(k) retirement plan, pet care & Rx discount plans, working from home, up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave for eligible employees, paid holidays, flexible vacation time, professional development, and the supportive environment at The Humane League!

Analyst Institute is looking to fill a Research Manager role on the Research Team. You'll be part of a close-knit, cutting edge team of experts with backgrounds in social, behavioral, and data science working together to both conduct research to support our partners in the progressive movement and translate that research into actionable insight to inform their work.
We’re looking to fill the Research Manager role as soon as possible. We will be accepting applications through October 23rd.
The Role
Research Managers (RMs) act as the principal investigators on our research projects, leading small project teams that are responsible for conducting our research. RMs are project managers who develop, design, and run field experiments, among other types of quantitative research, on a wide variety of subjects: get-out-the vote efforts, voter registration, persuasion, organizing and power-building, and more. RMs work directly with our partner organizations across the progressive movement to think creatively about developing research that can inform their work — which involves taking social science and “translating” it for folks working on the ground.
As an RM, you will get exposure to people and organizations across the progressive movement, develop, implement, and manage complex projects, and work with other talented practitioners across the space. You will be a prominent player in the progressive world, and we will invest in your skills and professional development. If you are a strong project manager with a deep understanding of research design and can communicate technical information to practitioners, this could be a great role for you.
As a Research Manager on the Research Team, you will:
Design research projects, including randomized controlled trials and other types of quantitative research, in partnership with progressive organizations to meet the partner’s research goals.
Communicate the potential benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of various research designs to non-technical partners in order to work together to identify the best research design for the partner’s research goals.
Connect with partner organizations to understand their perspectives and research objectives.
Manage simultaneous projects, often at varying stages of development, from design to implementation to analysis.
Communicate both internally and externally to ensure projects’ success.
Qualifications
The following encompasses many of the skills and experiences we consider for Research Managers, but we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.
You should be someone who has skills/experience in:
Research : Has relevant work or post-graduate education experience conducting all parts of the research process, including research question development, study design, data collection, analysis, and reporting, especially related to social science questions. Has an understanding of statistics and methods of social scientific measurement and causal inference.
Project Management : Able to lead and manage simultaneous, often fast-paced projects with multiple internal and external contributors and partners; highly organized and able to provide day-to-day oversight implementing multiple projects; and able to develop and manage project timelines, ensuring timely completion of project work (our partners often work on tight timelines).
Detail-orientation : Driven to complete high quality work with limited errors.
Communication : Has strong written and verbal communication skills and can communicate with varied audiences including data scientists and progressive practitioners.
Commitment to equity and inclusion : Values diversity, equity, and inclusion and recognizes the role race, gender, and other identities play in political behavior.
Relationship-building : Able to connect with a wide range of people in the progressive community. Collaborates creatively and respectfully with people across cultures and backgrounds.
Public speaking : Is comfortable with running meetings and delivering presentations, including one-on-one and small group settings.
Though not necessary, we are interested in people with the following experiences (please be sure to note these in your resume and/or cover letter):
Advanced knowledge of methods of social scientific measurement, including non-experimental research designs and methodologies.
Experience working with communities of color and other marginalized groups or experience studying racial and ethnic politics.
Experience working or volunteering with political campaigns, community based-organizations, or other progressive groups or similar organizations.
Knowledge about existing research and theory related to political power building, political behavior, or political psychology.
Logistics
Location : Our entire staff works remotely in various states across the U.S., and our internal culture fully supports and integrates remote staff. This position may be asked to travel periodically for in-person trainings, important convenings, and team-building. Willingness to travel is required for this role up to 5% of the time.
Start date : We are looking for this position to start in January 2024, but potentially earlier. This is a full-time, exempt position.
Compensation range : Salary commensurate with experience and skill set, from $70,000 to $90,000.
Benefits : These include 100% premium-covered health care and 99% covered dental and vision care, generous paid time off, 401(k) matching, disability and life insurance, twelve weeks paid parental leave (including for the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child), and professional development stipends for self-directed growth.

Full time
Analyst Institute is looking to fill a Research Manager role on the Research Team. You'll be part of a close-knit, cutting edge team of experts with backgrounds in social, behavioral, and data science working together to both conduct research to support our partners in the progressive movement and translate that research into actionable insight to inform their work.
We’re looking to fill the Research Manager role as soon as possible. We will be accepting applications through October 23rd.
The Role
Research Managers (RMs) act as the principal investigators on our research projects, leading small project teams that are responsible for conducting our research. RMs are project managers who develop, design, and run field experiments, among other types of quantitative research, on a wide variety of subjects: get-out-the vote efforts, voter registration, persuasion, organizing and power-building, and more. RMs work directly with our partner organizations across the progressive movement to think creatively about developing research that can inform their work — which involves taking social science and “translating” it for folks working on the ground.
As an RM, you will get exposure to people and organizations across the progressive movement, develop, implement, and manage complex projects, and work with other talented practitioners across the space. You will be a prominent player in the progressive world, and we will invest in your skills and professional development. If you are a strong project manager with a deep understanding of research design and can communicate technical information to practitioners, this could be a great role for you.
As a Research Manager on the Research Team, you will:
Design research projects, including randomized controlled trials and other types of quantitative research, in partnership with progressive organizations to meet the partner’s research goals.
Communicate the potential benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of various research designs to non-technical partners in order to work together to identify the best research design for the partner’s research goals.
Connect with partner organizations to understand their perspectives and research objectives.
Manage simultaneous projects, often at varying stages of development, from design to implementation to analysis.
Communicate both internally and externally to ensure projects’ success.
Qualifications

You should be someone who has skills/experience in:
Research : Has relevant work or post-graduate education experience conducting all parts of the research process, including research question development, study design, data collection, analysis, and reporting, especially related to social science questions. Has an understanding of statistics and methods of social scientific measurement and causal inference.
Project Management : Able to lead and manage simultaneous, often fast-paced projects with multiple internal and external contributors and partners; highly organized and able to provide day-to-day oversight implementing multiple projects; and able to develop and manage project timelines, ensuring timely completion of project work (our partners often work on tight timelines).
Detail-orientation : Driven to complete high quality work with limited errors.
Communication : Has strong written and verbal communication skills and can communicate with varied audiences including data scientists and progressive practitioners.
Commitment to equity and inclusion : Values diversity, equity, and inclusion and recognizes the role race, gender, and other identities play in political behavior.
Relationship-building : Able to connect with a wide range of people in the progressive community. Collaborates creatively and respectfully with people across cultures and backgrounds.
Public speaking : Is comfortable with running meetings and delivering presentations, including one-on-one and small group settings.
Though not necessary, we are interested in people with the following experiences (please be sure to note these in your resume and/or cover letter):
Advanced knowledge of methods of social scientific measurement, including non-experimental research designs and methodologies.
Experience working with communities of color and other marginalized groups or experience studying racial and ethnic politics.
Experience working or volunteering with political campaigns, community based-organizations, or other progressive groups or similar organizations.
Knowledge about existing research and theory related to political power building, political behavior, or political psychology.
Logistics

This position may be asked to travel periodically for in-person trainings, important convenings, and team-building. Willingness to travel is required for this role up to 5% of the time.
Start date : We are looking for this position to start in January 2024, but potentially earlier. This is a full-time, exempt position.
Compensation range : Salary commensurate with experience and skill set, from $70,000 to $90,000.
Benefits : These include 100% premium-covered health care and 99% covered dental and vision care, generous paid time off, 401(k) matching, disability and life insurance, twelve weeks paid parental leave (including for the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child), and professional development stipends for self-directed growth.

Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Managing Director to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
In our 40 year track record, Corporate Accountability has worked in deep partnership with organizers and activists from around the world to run powerful corporate campaigns. From exposing the abuses of the private water industry in partnership with allies on the ground in Lagos, Nigeria to Flint, Michigan, to standing up to tobacco transnationals for promoting and profiting off of a product that continues to put the health of millions at risk, our long-term strategic campaigns have successfully put people power over profits.
Sound exciting? Well that’s where you come in! We are looking for a Managing Director of the organization, focusing on our campaign work, to ensure we have the biggest possible impact, are rooted in values of equity and justice, and are set up for success in the future. You will be an executive leader within the organization, working alongside our Executive Director and two other Managing Directors. Holding the whole of our campaigns work, you will manage an experienced and diverse team of corporate campaigners, providing strategic direction and management towards campaign success and impact.
Rooted in your experience working in equitable partnership with Global South, frontline, and grassroots communities — and grounded in cultural humility, you will partner with our campaign leadership and teams in the U.S., Latin America, and Africa to directly take on some of the most destructive industries on the planet, building power and leadership for the broader corporate accountability movement. Additionally, you will hold key relationships with allies, thought leaders, and key members of the media, advancing our messaging across platforms. The results of your collective work to dismantle and disrupt the corporate status quo—from the halls of the U.N. to acting in solidarity with communities on the frontlines—will move us toward a world free of corporate abuse, where all people can thrive.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell -- and you have experience working on campaigns that directly challenge corporate power and abuse.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You are a great staff manager, bringing over 5+ years of experience in staff management to the role. You bring out the best in your team and manage staff towards their goals drawing from your experience in designing effective work plans based on available capacity. You also know how to establish structure and clarity of roles and responsibilities within your team, ensuring organizational capacities align with team success. And you have demonstrated attention to cultural humility, successfully working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, geographies, and cultural contexts.
You know what it takes to manage from a place of senior leadership. Simply put, you know how to effectively bridge the gap between your team’s work and success and how that adds up to supporting the overall priorities of the organization. And you know that managing an organization also means navigating changing conditions with grace, making hard decisions, and having hard conversations—and the best way to do so is with openness, fairness, and input from others.
You know that achieving any goal requires a well-considered plan with a timeline. And you’ve got the skills to create plans that are highly efficient, strategic, and creative. You know how to take into consideration the context (political, organizational, etc.) and people involved, and work with what’s available to create the best plan possible. But you don’t keep this valuable skill to yourself: you also have significant experience in supporting others to create plans and processes toward achieving goals, and have a clear sense of how processes and tactics add up to impact.
You’re a skilled facilitator. You can guide a group of diverse participants through a conversation or process that builds on shared goals and works toward strategic outcomes. Drawing from experience in conflict resolution, you know how to navigate and interrupt power dynamics so all participants can engage meaningfully.
You have 10+ years of experience in organizing, and a significant portion of that experience is in corporate campaigning. You also have experience overseeing program budgets and in fundraising for a program. Additional experience in building grassroots people power, organizing, and training is preferred, as well as prior experience working in media.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
In partnership with our Executive Director and two Managing Directors, you will lead and strategize at the organizational management level.
Manage and oversee seasoned campaigners on our Climate , Water , and Tobacco campaigns toward high-functioning and aligned corporate campaigning, grounded in our anti-racist values and commitments, through strategic guidance, progress assessment, feedback loops, and troubleshooting as needed.
Work to build trust, cohesion, and alignment between your staff/team and the organization’s leadership through developing and strengthening internal coordination systems as well as overseeing strong coordination between the campaigns, research, development, and communications teams.
Work in close coordination with our communications team to ensure our corporate campaigns integrate and implement communications campaign strategies and tactics.
Manage relationships with key funders and partner with fundraisers to ensure they have what they need, including external messaging on campaign plans and strategy.
Support team leaders to build a shared understanding of organizational priorities and budgets, providing support across programs you oversee to manage program budgets, while maximizing their strategic impact. Additionally, play a lead role in our annual organizational planning process and ensure campaign plans and goals align behind our annual organizational plans and budgets, mission, and vision.
Build and hold relationships with organizational allies to develop and seize opportunities to build international visibility and solidarity for Corporate Accountability’s campaigns and stand in solidarity with frontline justice struggles around the world.
Facilitate strategic planning meetings, and support campaigns staff as they do so, in partnership with our allies—keeping an eye towards racial equity, and ensuring we have the long-term and short-term vision, strategy, goals, and plans to advance an integrated campaigns agenda.
Represent the organization at ally convenings, campaign events, coalition spaces, and as an organizational spokesperson in the media.
Travel 2 - 4 times each year to represent Corporate Accountability at events such as international treaty meetings or national campaigns events. We will continue to be mindful of global health concerns and continue to center the health and safety of our staff in travel decisions.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
Salary and benefits:
Salary range: $100,535 - $128,715 in alignment with recent updates to our salary and compensation protocols.
Hours: Corporate Accountability’s full-time staff generally work 32 hours per week, with periods of more intensive work that correspond with the ebb and flow nature of campaigns or projects throughout the year. Our core hours are 10 am - 4 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with flexibility to determine your remaining hours of the week in coordination with your supervisor and team. Given the nature of campaigning, rapid response moments, and working with organizers and activists at an international organization, there will be instances where you would need to be available outside of standard business hours.
Our comprehensive benefit package includes: health insurance (with 90% of the premium for all tiers covered by the organization) and dental coverage (with 100% of the individual premium covered by the organization and the option to add dependents at an additional cost); $40/month home office stipend with $250 provided at the time of hire to go towards setting up a home office; FSA for transit, health care, and dependent care; and 401(k) with employer match.
Generous time off policies including one month of personal vacation time, one week of office closure for collective rest, holidays, and unlimited wellness days to prioritize health.
Both internal and external training and leadership development opportunities.
Energetic, collaborative, and social campaign environment.
Location :
Remote based role with the expectation of travel to our campaign headquarters in Boston at least 2-3 times a year.
We are looking for great candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit the job description, but you know you have skills and experiences that are transferable to this position, please apply! Tell us about yourself and why you should be our next Managing Director.
To apply: Visit www.corporateaccountability.org/employment-opportunities. Attach your résumé to the online application and include a cover letter. Please include where you heard about the position. [insert language regarding rolling applications: Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and our current capacity to process applications, we will be responding on a rolling basis and therefore might take between 2 – 4 weeks to respond to your application.

Black, Brown, Indigenous people and people of color, women, nonbinary people, LGBTQ+ and disabled folks are strongly encouraged to apply. Join more than 60 smart and driven staff and interns working in this dynamic organization with a powerful network of members and allies around the world.
