About Equitable Facilities Fund (EFF) 

Equitable Facilities Fund (EFF) is a nonprofit social impact fund that’s on a nationwide mission to help high-performing public charter schools spend more money on students and less on the costs of borrowing for their facilities. We offer school leaders simple and much-needed access to low-cost loans combined with support from an expert team that has walked in their shoes.

To date, EFF has invested over $1 billion in schools serving over 120,000 students, providing them with funding to amplify their impact. Equity is at the core of our mission, and we seek to create opportunity for students and communities that have traditionally been denied access to high-quality public schools. If you’re seeking to have a community-level impact on a national scale, apply to join our team!

The Analyst, Data will play a critical role in optimizing EFF’s data practices and amplifying our efforts to ensure all high-impact schools in historically marginalized communities have a pathway to affordable facilities.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent problem-solving skills, enthusiastically approach the sometimes-ambiguous work of a start-up, and contribute to a collaborative, team-oriented culture of excellence.
