The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Public Policy Institute is hiring a Budget Analyst in Lawrence, KS.

• Role description

  Bring your Delegation, your Team Leadership, and your opinions, because Public Policy Institute's next Budget Analyst will help decide where Lawrence, KS goes from here. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 3 years, want $66,000 - $96,000, and crave a general team that lets you lead.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Field curveballs from Lawrence clients without losing the thread
  • Close the loop on every Lawrence request you touch
  • Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
  • Own the day-to-day rhythm of general work across our Lawrence, KS operation
  • Communicate progress, blockers, and results to stakeholders and leadership
  • Turn ambiguous Conflict Resolution requests into shipped, measurable outcomes
  • Hand off Cultural Awareness work clean enough that nobody has to ask twice
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch

  What You'll Bring

  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
  • Hands-on general experience that holds up to follow-up questions
  • Calm under the fun-loving chaos a mid-level role tends to generate
  • Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses

  Public Policy Institute blends Cultural Awareness and Multitasking expertise to deliver craft-focused outcomes for clients in Lawrence, KS. We give people real $66,000 - $96,000 stakes in the outcome so ownership stops being a buzzword.

  Count on $66,000 - $96,000, remote-first flexibility, parental leave, and a stipend for the tools and courses you need.
