Position Description

The Center for Cultural Power empowers BIPOC artist disruptors and culture bearers to envision and engineer the safe and equitable future we all aspire to create. Cultural Power resources and connects these leaders to each other and to movements, supporting and training them using tested and scalable narrative and culture strategy models, and amplifying their most impactful work. The Research & Impact Manager will play an integral role in implementing Cultural Power’s new Strategic Plan to create a vibrant, pluralistic cultural future where historically marginalized artists shape narratives that build belonging, solidarity, and a thriving multi-racial democracy. The fellow will work with multiple teams across Cultural Power’s focus areas, including racial, gender, climate, and migrant justice, civic engagement, and health equity. The fellow will serve as an embedded, culturally responsive researcher and work collaboratively with staff across the organization.
