We seek the best and brightest equity-focused professionals.
Big Water Consulting shares job opportunities for specific roles below; however, we are continuously looking for top-tier, dedicated professionals with a strong commitment to equity. We encourage candidates proficient in economic and social research, data analysis and visualization, project management, community engagement, training & technical support, strategic planning, program evaluation, public relations within the nonprofit or tribal sectors, and graphic design to send their cover letter and resume/CV to harrison@bigwaterconsulting.net.
Our office staff work hard to help our clients improve the lives of those they serve during business hours, but we also ensure that our office workload allows our staff to maintain a healthy balance of their personal and professional lives. Big Water offers the following benefits to its full-time staff: 401(k) retirement plan, gold plan health insurance (no employee premium payment), transportation subsidy (ORCA card), paid vacation and sick leave, performance bonuses and periodic salary review.

Big Water engages students at the undergraduate and masters levels in its work as part of its over-arching mission to build technical capacity and experience within the community of young professionals interested in working for tribal, nonprofit, government and public interest-focused organizations. In terms of subject matter and complexity, internships range from communications and marketing to data analysis and reporting. We work with interns to assess their skill sets upon entry into the program and periodically assess their learning and growth to ensure that their work is both challenging and interesting.
Given the geographic distribution and cultural diversity of our clients, Big Water interns inevitably broaden their understanding of the world in ways that transcend their basic command of statistical or mapping software, survey design principles and standard data analysis. Due to the complexity of our work and the length of our average projects, we generally engage interns for at least a full semester, or two quarters, and will consider internships that span a full academic year in order to allow the intern to see a larger project through from start to finish.
