Senior Research Analyst

About Us: Triangle is dedicated to bridging the gap between policy making, empirical research, and the media to yield enduring outcomes for our clients, create a fulfilling environment for our team, and make a positive impact on the communities where we operate. By merging empirical inquiry with effective communication, Triangle develops clear, concise, and evidence-based solutions for the organizations we collaborate with. Through this holistic approach, Triangle strives to shift the ownership of decision-making, enabling people to have a more significant influence on the policy and development that shape their lives.

If this environment aligns with what you've been seeking, we would be delighted to hear from you.
