Through experimentation and analysis, the Director of Knowledge will lead a small team improving tactics and providing causal proof for data-oriented (especially SMS-focused) programs.
The Director of Knowledge will select, design and conduct experiments and analysis – including A/B testing, randomized control trials, and machine learning analysis of large data sets. This knowledge will support fundraising for newly incubated programs that fill key gaps in the movement ecosystem. You will draft communications to be disseminated to leading progressive and Democratic partners. Finally, synthesizing performance metrics into actionable insights across all channels, your work will improve Movement Labs’ client services that span the DCCC to Black Lives Matter.
The Director of Knowledge is a key position for the future and growth of Movement Labs, working directly with the founding CEO to design experiments and with the Deputy Director to coordinate the execution of experiments. You will also work closely with the Communications, Fundraising, and Sales teams to drive the rapid scaling of effective experimental analysis. You will manage a highly capable quantitative political science PhD with data engineering skills.
A successful candidate will have a strategic mindset to design experiments based on short- and long-term political goals as well as strong analytic/programming skills and significant experience with testing.
