KAP 2026-2027 - Operations Associate - Foundation for Economic Education

The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals with a drive to tackle our country’s most pressing challenges in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips associates with the tools, mindsets, and community to succeed as social entrepreneurs—individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice. Associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at one of our many partner organizations the rest of the week. Our curriculum is designed to supercharge your development and equip you for long-term success as you seek to have an impact on the problems that prevent people from realizing their potential.  

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the economic, ethical, and legal principles of a free society. Since its founding in 1946, FEE has been committed to inspiring and educating individuals on the values of personal freedom, entrepreneurship, and sound economic thinking. Through various high-impact programs, digital content, publications, and events, FEE empowers individuals to understand the economic principles that drive prosperity and fosters a society rooted in individual rights and limited government.

About the Role

FEE seeks a detail-oriented, highly motivated Operations Associate to support and execute key internal processes that keep our organization running smoothly. This role focuses on execution excellence: maintaining established systems, ensuring operational consistency, and supporting cross-team coordination.

This role serves as the operational backbone for internal people systems and organizational workflows, ensuring consistent execution, accuracy, and follow-through across core administrative processes.

The ideal candidate is thoughtful and proactive, someone who understands how small details connect to big-picture outcomes and takes pride in getting things right. By keeping existing operations running effectively, this person will help create capacity for new initiatives and continued organizational growth.

The Operations Associate will report to the Strategy and Operations Manager. This is an entry-level, virtual position.
