The Associate works across the team to support various projects, working groups, and technical assistance.

If you also have a deep interest in nonprofit work and the passion to champion mission-driven vision and values, we'd love to hear from you. You will thrive in NEEP's collaborative and fast-paced work environment and will respect and uphold our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.
A Day in the Life of This Role
In this role, you will support stakeholder engagement, facilitation, and management, as well as research, analysis, and report development for the Policy and Programs team. This will include assisting with the planning and coordination of working groups, and preparing presentations and reports to increase the visibility and understanding of NEEP's strategies, activities, and results. Additionally, this position will conduct research and analysis to support strategy development, track relevant programs, technologies, policies, and market developments as well as coordinate across the organization on these activities. The Associate should also be willing to be flexible and work on tasks across a variety of project areas. This position will report to a Senior Manager on the Policy and Programs team.

At this point, we hope you're feeling excited about this job opportunity. Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We're eager to meet people who believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just candidates who check all the boxes. We want people to feel comfortable expressing their true selves and to come, stay, and do their best work here.
