Join our team - Metgroup

Open Positions

Metropolitan Group is always looking for people who are passionately committed to creating a more just and sustainable world through work at the intersection of social justice, public health, and environment and sustainability. With offices in Washington, D.C. and Portland, OR, we offer opportunities at all levels. We also have a sister company in Mexico City.

We’re all about creating a team and culture where everyone can innovate, create impact, be themselves, have fun, do top-notch work and be 100% focused on creating a more just and sustainable world.

People

If you are energized in an environment of innovators, thought leaders, advocates and activists, we think this could be the place for you. If you are passionate about writing, narrative, creative expression, digging deep to understand cultural context, and bring a growth mindset to your work, you will be in good company. If you geek out on data and research and take creative leaps, you will join a community that values the left and the right brain, and that celebrates analytical and abstract thinking. Members of our team enjoy good coffee and wine, secret hiking trails, performing in musicals, sharing family recipes, and talking about their favorite podcast. We’re always looking to add more hobbies and interests to our team!

Community

Happy hours and coffee chats are the norm in our offices (pre-COVID and now via Zoom). We also host an annual retreat with our entire team, summer picnics, fitness classes, the occasional Pizza Fridays and Office Olympics. We strive to create a supportive community so that MG’ers can form relationships, make time for joy, unlock creativity and celebrate being who we are as people.

Collaboration

We’re team-oriented and thrive in cross collaboration among focus areas, practice areas, offices, clients and practices to best deliver on projects and learn from one another. Building relationships is important to our culture, and we value trust, respect and transparency as a key foundation to long-term success as an organization.

Place

We have designed our offices to be collaborative and engaging spaces with abundant natural light, plenty of spaces for co-creation and for quiet work, easy access to transit, and pedestrian- and bike-friendly locations. We prioritize sustainable design, healthy buildings and accessibility for the places we work.

Our headquarters office in Portland, Oregon—The Public Will Building—is a national historic landmark and LEED Silver designated building where we have an entire floor of community convening and collaboration space for hosting workshops, planning sessions, events and other gatherings to support community-based organizations and advance social change.
