What is a Research Analyst at Stand Together?
The Research Analyst at Stand Together plays a pivotal role in driving the organization's mission to break the barriers that hold people back from reaching their full potential. Operating at the intersection of public policy, political strategy, and philanthropic investment, this role is responsible for providing the deep analytical insights that guide high-level decision-making. Whether you are analyzing budget policies, entitlement reforms, or evaluating political landscapes, your research directly influences where and how Stand Together deploys its resources to drive systemic social change.
In this position, you will not simply compile data; you will synthesize complex information into actionable strategies for advocacy, policy reform, and political action. The role demands an intellectual curiosity that spans across diverse issue areas, from economic freedom and educational reform to criminal justice.

Success as a Research Analyst requires a rare combination of rigorous analytical skills and a deep alignment with the organization's core principles. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams of policy experts, political strategists, and communications professionals to translate academic-level research into compelling narratives. For those who want their research to have a direct, tangible impact on the nation's most pressing policy debates, this role offers an unparalleled platform for strategic influence.
