Let’s Build Economies That Work

We’re always looking for people who want to do meaningful, systems-level work. Explore our open roles and join a team building strong communities, shaping markets, and creating lasting economic opportunity.

Our work spans geographies, sectors, and scales, from Brooklyn to Singapore. What makes us different is our focus. We’re not chasing unicorns. We’re building economies where more people can participate and succeed. We don’t dictate solutions. We align the actors, systems, and resources needed for change, working alongside communities to co-create pathways that reflect real needs and shared values.

At SecondMuse, we build economies for good. We believe lasting impact comes from addressing root causes and aligning the systems that drive outcomes. We partner across the full economy with entrepreneurs, capital providers, governments, industry, and communities to unlock economic opportunity and drive systemic change.

Our work spans consulting, entrepreneurial support, and economy-building initiatives designed to mobilize capital, strengthen markets, and support innovation at scale. Over the past decade, we’ve designed and delivered programs in more than 100 countries and 250 cities, supporting diverse entrepreneurs and building more resilient, inclusive economies.
