Impact investing is an exciting and rapidly growing industry powered by investors who are determined to generate positive social and environmental impact alongside financial returns. One of the central tenets of impact investing is the practice of impact measurement and management (IMM). Through this practice, investors define specific impact performance objectives for an investment portfolio and gather and use data about the social and environmental performance of the investments in order to maximize their positive impacts. Driving a sophisticated, high integrity, and practical practice of IMM among investors has been a core GIIN function since the organization’s founding in 2009. Our IMM work has included the development of IRIS+, a system for investors to use in measuring and optimizing impact performance, numerous guidance pieces, resources, thought leadership, and engagement with a myriad of industry stakeholder communities to influence the trajectory of discussions and practice in the broader financial industry.
We are now seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic Associate to contribute to the further development and success of the GIIN’s IMM offerings. The ideal candidate will be passionate about creating positive impact and excited to work in a dynamic, fast-paced market.

LOCATION: This position will be based in our New York City office with significant remote work flexibility offered through the GIIN’s hybrid in-person/remote work model. Candidates must possess valid authorization to work in the United States that does not require employment visa sponsorship.
COMPENSATION: The GIIN is committed to pay equity. The salary range for this role is between $48,000- $60,000, with exact salary depending on experience, with an excellent benefits package.
We aim to offer competitive salaries and benefits and are committed to equity, trust, and transparency in compensation. Basing compensation on someone’s willingness and ability to negotiate or on their prior salary leads to wide inequities and bias in how people are paid, particularly for groups experiencing historical oppression. Therefore, we do not ask for prior pay history from our candidates and our offer-making process is negotiation-free for salaries and benefits.
We determine the best possible salary offer based on relevant experience and extent to which candidates demonstrate the competencies for the role during the entire hiring process. The GIIN also uses our annual performance evaluation process at the end of each year to determine raises and promotions.
