Description BACKGROUND Tulsa For You and Me: a collection of talent and economic development programs dedicated to building a vibrant and inclusive city through a booming economic landscape. Operated under the stewardship of the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF), our affiliated programs include nationally recognized and innovative organizations like Tulsa Remote, Tulsa Innovation Labs (TIL), inTulsa, Build In Tulsa, Atlas School, Campus Tulsa, and Tulsa Service Year. The Integrated Strategies group is composed of several expert teams dedicated to fostering cross-program collaboration, driving operational excellence, and equipping Tulsa for You programs with the tools, insights, and best practices to drive tangible results. This role will sit within the Integrated Strategies Research, Analytics, and Data (RAD) team. Our North Star goal is both ambitious and clear: to attract and build 20,000 jobs in high-growth industry clusters by the year 2033. A cornerstone of this mission is our commitment to ensuring that at least one-third of these opportunities are accessible to Tulsans from historically underrepresented communities. This is an extension of our broader vision for a more equitable, innovative, and vibrant Tulsa, where a strong state of economic health provides the basis for equal opportunity. Led by Tulsa Innovation Labs (TIL), one of our renowned programs, Tulsa was recently awarded Tech Hubs funding by the Economic Development Agency to develop Tulsa’s Autonomous Systems industry.
