"At Cohesion Strategy, we provide ecosystem intelligence, coordination, and evaluation for pluralistic initiatives. We work with foundations, nonprofits, coalitions, networks, and movement leaders who are helping people navigate differences constructively and build stronger, more resilient communities. Because pluralistic change happens across complex systems rather than within individual organizations, our work helps clients understand the broader landscape, align key actors, and generate evidence about what is working."

"Cohesion Strategy is seeking a curious, analytical, and mission-driven Research, Evaluation, and Learning Associate to support both our client-facing evaluation work and our ecosystem intelligence function.

"This is an ideal role for a recent graduate with a Master's degree in Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) or a related field who wants to apply rigorous evaluation and research methods to some of the most pressing questions facing pluralistic initiatives today.

"The Associate will lead much of the day-to-day execution of evaluation and other research-oriented client projects while helping Cohesion Strategy maintain a deep understanding of the broader pluralism ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of evaluation, research, field-building, and strategic learning."

"The Constructive Dialogue Institute (CDI) is a non-partisan, non-profit dedicated to equipping the next generation of Americans with the skills to communicate and collaborate across lines of difference. We work with U.S. colleges and universities by providing co-curricular programming for students, professional development for faculty and staff, and strategic guidance to leadership.
