at WorkMoney

🏢 About WorkMoney

WorkMoney uniquely focuses on improving financial well-being for hard-working Americans through both direct tools/resources and policy advocacy for economic fairness. This mission-driven organization offers the opportunity to use analytics for social impact, creating a more just economic landscape rather than just corporate profit.

About This Role

This Senior Manager role involves designing impact measurement frameworks across WorkMoney's programs and communications to assess effectiveness and guide strategic decisions. You'll synthesize complex data into actionable insights for leadership, board members, and funders while managing cross-functional data projects that directly support the organization's mission of economic equity.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve meeting with program teams to understand their data needs for impact measurement, then designing SQL queries to analyze program effectiveness across different channels. You'd likely create Tableau dashboards to visualize insights for upcoming leadership presentations while managing timelines for cross-functional analytics projects that support WorkMoney's mission.
