A non-partisan, nonprofit think tank providing independent research and analysis of state budget and economic policies with an equity lens, the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) seeks an experienced leader and policy changemaker in the search for their next president. This is an opportunity to lead one of the country’s most innovative state-level economic think tanks in providing the research, analysis, and advocacy to achieve critical policy advances across the Commonwealth.

Areas of Responsibility: 

MassBudget provides research, analysis, and advocacy to help others to access, understand, and interpret complex policy choices and outcomes, as well as the leverage points that impact communities. The organization plays a vital role in producing the highest standard of economic research and advocating for such research to inform progressive state policy solutions to create an equitable, thriving Commonwealth for all. MassBudget has been credited with providing the research and analysis necessary for the achievement of critical policy advances. These policy victories have included raising the Massachusetts minimum wage; establishing Paid Family and Medical Leave and Earned Paid Sick Time; fairer corporate taxes that have netted substantial revenue for vital state programs; boosting take-home pay for low-income families through Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) increases; the nation’s most progressive K-12 education funding bill with the 2019 Student Opportunity Act; and the 2022 Fair Share Amendment (or “Millionaires’ Tax”), which is estimated to bring over $2 billion to education and transportation needs across the Commonwealth.

Skills/Experience: 

MassBudget seeks an experienced and collaborative leader who is both a strategist and an implementer. The ideal candidate will bring a strong command of economic, social, and fiscal policy, and a deep understanding of how these policy areas are interconnected with issues of racial justice, economic security and inclusion, and an inclusive democracy. They will have excellent managerial skills and will be an engaged and effective communicator, with an impressive record of cultivating relationships and authentic partnerships at the legislative and community levels. A highly relational and people-centered leader, MassBudget’s next president must be very emotionally intelligent and capable of inspiring and working effectively with staff, board members, and a diverse array of external partners and constituents. They will bring strong strategic, operational, and fundraising leadership, and will be a cohesive and collaborative team leader who values and amplifies the collective strength of the MassBudget team.

Compensation/Benefits: 

Compensation for this position will be competitive and negotiated in good faith, with a salary range estimated at $165,000 to $175,000.

About Us
Mission: 

MassBudget is a leading think tank advancing equitable policy solutions that create an inclusive, thriving Commonwealth.

Programs: 

MassBudget has provided the research, analysis and advocacy necessary for the achievement of critical policy advances including: passage of the Fair Share Amendment, which is estimated to bring in approximately $2 billion dollars to education and transportation needs annually, boosting take-home pay for low-income families through Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) increases, improving the Child and Family Tax Credit, and playing a substantial role in the passage of the nation’s most progressive K-12 education funding bill – the 2019 Student Opportunity Act.

MassBudget, with partners and policymakers, works to advance racial and economic equity in the Commonwealth by helping to:

1 Fix our upside-down tax system so we can invest in a way that tackles systemic racism and classism.

2 Create an antiracist state budget by investing in quality education, affordable housing and health care, improved transportation, and vibrant communities.

3 Guarantee economic security for all by directly combating the extreme and unsustainable levels of inequality the Commonwealth is facing.

4 Build an inclusive democracy by providing research and training on the state budget and taxes, so everyone can be informed and united in creating needed change.
