Survey Analyst (Contract; Remote)
About Us
UpTogether is a systems change organization that recognizes that poverty is created by systems, rooted in racism and perpetuated by false views of people considered “poor.”
We seek to change policies, systems, and underlying beliefs so that all people in the United States are seen and invested in for their strengths and are able to build power, reinforce their autonomy, and drive their own economic and social mobility.
What We Do
UpTogether collaborates with individuals, families, funders, government agencies and community partners to:
- Invest in families and individuals with limited incomes by providing them with cash they can use however they wish, no strings attached
- Amplify stories to change the narrative and tell the true lived experiences of people facing financial hardship and financially under-resourced communities
- Mobilize around local policies and practices that support and accelerate socioeconomic mobility

The Survey Analyst will be responsible for analyzing survey data and preparing reports in the format of a slide deck with insights and data visualizations.
