We are currently helping our client, USAFacts, with a search for a Managing Editor to join their growing team. USAFacts is a non-profit, non-partisan civic initiative privately founded and funded by Steve Ballmer. The aim is to give the American public free access to comprehensive, contextual, and unbiased government data. USAFacts aggregates data on spending, revenue, and outcomes from over 70 different government sources, spanning the federal, state, and local levels. USAFacts also publishes an annual "10-K Report” modeled on the form public companies file with the SEC, as well as an Annual Report that a shareholder would receive. The initiative encourages fact-based debate and civic engagement which we believe is essential to our democracy.
