Our collaborative workplace is continuously evolving to ensure all employees feel:
- Comfortable bringing their whole selves to work.
- Confident that they will be treated respectfully.

The work is dynamic and fast-paced. You’ll spend your time investigating data and process issues, building tools in Excel and SQL, and working across departments to help our programs run more effectively.

- Coordinate small-scale compliance, audit, and reconciliation tasks
- Contribute to process documentation and user guides
- Conduct self-directed research for new internal and external initiatives
What You Bring:
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university (required)
- Internship or 1–2 years of professional work experience preferred (not required)
- Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, lookups); basic to intermediate SQL familiarity
- Strong organizational and time management skills — able to manage multiple streams of work independently
- Clear, professional communication skills, both written and verbal
- Intellectual curiosity and a self-starter mindset — you take ownership and ask smart questions
- Willingness to dig into unfamiliar topics and figure them out through research or collaboration
Other Requirements:
- Must be able to work in office, 5 days per week, in one of the following locations: San Antonio, TX; Chicago, IL; or New York, NY
