What You’ll Do
As part of AmPhil’s Core Consulting Division, an Analyst at AmPhil works within a specific consulting group and provides project execution support to the group’s members to ensure that the firm continues to meet a high standard of excellence in serving its clients and fulfilling its obligations.
Primary activities and responsibilities include:
- Researching qualified individual, foundation, and corporate donor prospects and creating profiles;
- Writing content for communications such as emails, letters, proposals, and brochures;
- Assisting with data entry, clean-up, and analysis;
- Creating, maintaining, and coordinating project schedules and tasks across various internal and external parties to ensure timely project completion;
- Acquiring proficiency in AmPhil systems and Microsoft Office programs and assisting with the formatting and editing of projects on these platforms;
- Developing familiarity with key fundraising concepts, as well as important ideas and figures in AmPhil’s landscape;
- Providing proofing and quality control support;
- Scheduling meetings, taking meeting notes, drafting emails and agendas, and performing other administrative tasks; and
- Contributing to firm culture through strong engagement, communication, collegiality, and conviviality.
What We’re Looking For
- Experienced: The ideal candidate will have at least one year of professional experience. A liberal arts background, some familiarity with nonprofits and fundraising, and experience in Microsoft Office programs are preferred. The ability to spend time in AmPhil’s Philadelphia-area office in Conshohocken on a regular basis is also necessary, as this will primarily be an in-person role.
- Principled: We look for colleagues who are excited about our mission to strengthen civil society; understand and honor the Western tradition; value truth, faith, and self-governance; and understand that humans need virtue to flourish in community.
- Bright: We want to work with people who are intelligent, logical, self-directed, and curious; able to create order from ambiguity and translate theory and strategy into practical action.
- Convivial: We put a premium on humor and good cheer and seek unpretentious, genuine, generous people who are fun to be around.
- Forthright: We value clear, intelligent, engaging communicators who balance warmth and candor as they earn respect and build honest and trusting relationships.
- Diligent: We search for conscientious colleagues who possess the prudence and discipline to work hard, strive for excellence, complete tasks with minimal supervision, and go above and beyond when necessary to help our clients, partners, and firm succeed and grow.
What You’ll Love About AmPhil
Mission: Everything we do is guided by our mission to strengthen civil society and we’re passionate about building strong partnerships with clients engaged in work that supports strong families, virtuous citizens, vibrant communities, durable institutions, and a flourishing nation. Our employees have the opportunity to work in a company that’s in the trenches with its clients in the service of their incredible missions, helping them refine and grow their work and achieve more.
Culture: We genuinely respect, trust, and enjoy working with our colleagues—and it shows. On any given day, you might find us engaged in healthy debate about the principles of a healthy democracy over happy hour, swapping book recommendations, or challenging one another to a salsa-making competition. We strive to model the “art of association” through our culture of vibrant communitarianism and prioritize courtesy, clarity, warmth, and humor in our interactions and decisions. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.
Growth: Our employees are given a high degree of ownership over their work and have significant freedom to execute responsibilities in line with their interests and talents. They have the opportunity to learn continually, stand out quickly, do work they’re proud of, and earn the respect and appreciation of their clients and colleagues. It’s hard work and sometimes chaotic, but exciting and rewarding.
Flexibility: We are a hybrid remote/in-person company and have been from the start. Depending on their roles and preferences, many of our employees have remote flexibility. There are also regular opportunities for in-person interaction. We also understand our staff have lives outside of work. We work hard and expect our colleagues to do the same, but we recognize that while a strong work ethic is supremely important, so also is maintaining a healthy life that does justice to other goods, including those of family, faith, and community.
Competitive Compensation and Benefits: We will pay competitive market rates and have a generous benefits package and holiday/PTO schedule that reflect our commitment to our employees and their families. Benefits and perks include health insurance for employees and their dependents, employer contributions to health savings accounts, a 401(k) retirement program with employer matching, paid parental leave, dependent care spending accounts, a yearly stipend for books and print publications, support for employees’ volunteer board service, and more.
