The Opportunity
The DNC is investing in an unprecedented scale of in-house national voter contact programs, online engagement and mobilization, and centralized support of on-the-ground state efforts through the 2022 cycle. 

In order to efficiently support these programs, and ensure we have an ability to measure what’s working and optimize outreach over time, we are investing in building out the technological infrastructure & analytics capabilities to keep pace with these scaling volunteer engagement & voter contact efforts. We are seeking a Distributed Organizing Analyst to support targeted volunteer and voter outreach, with a focus on developing sustainable systems that allow us to optimize these outreach efforts throughout the 2022 election cycle.

Who We Are
We are a fully remote, distributed team living in 19 states and from a variety of backgrounds. Some of us have worked in political campaigns, others in public sector tech, and others in industry. We value diversity in perspective, lived experience, and the many paths one may take into working in political technology. We believe deeply in the promise of breaking the boom-bust cycle of political tech work and building technology infrastructure that will support campaigns from cycle to cycle and will improve with every iteration.

Who You Are
We’re looking for an Analyst to support the DNC’s national organizing program. This role will focus on supporting volunteer engagement and outreach efforts of the distributed organizing team – including leveraging data to run targeted outreach programs and analyzing program outcomes to optimize outreach over time. 

In this position you will…

    • Manage targeting and outreach list management for the national distributed organizing team, with a specific focus on optimizing volunteer management and engagement.
    • Work with Tech Team stakeholders to develop products that streamline repetitive processes, such as targeting, voter contact universe development, and list movement between tools; consult on data products that can be used to streamline reporting code and other system automation.
    • Perform analysis to understand trends in volunteer engagement, areas of program strength, and opportunities for improvement; turn this analysis into actionable insights to optimize where the distributed program is focused over time.
    • Work with Organizing Team leadership to develop and implement data standards to support consistent data entry and storage across Distributed Organizing tools.

Some things that might make you right for this role:

    • Good candidates might check many of these boxes, but don’t let this list stop you from applying:

    • You are proficient in SQL and comfortable reasoning about very large datasets.
    • You have experience working with political data like state voter files, election results, or data on voter, volunteer, or donor engagement.
    • You have experience tackling new, messy datasets, and structuring them for quick analysis and insights; you understand the importance of establishing data standards and unifying multiple sources of data to track program progress and optimize work over time.
    • You are comfortable communicating the results of analysis to a wide range of stakeholders, including through routine reporting and leveraging data visualization tools like Google Data Studio, Looker, Tableau, or Periscope.
    • You can turn independent analysis projects into sustainable, documented workflows, and have experience building systems that can be used across teams and are designed with longevity in mind.
    • You are curious, collaborative, and humble – ready to work with a diverse, distributed team to solve interesting problems together.
    • You have experience doing voter outreach or community organizing, either professionally or as a volunteer – bonus points if you’ve knocked doors, made phone calls, sent text messages, or organized your own friends and family to vote.
Salary: The salary for the Distributed Organizing Analyst position is $75,000 - 90,000 on an annualized basis, commensurate with experience and qualifications. This position is not eligible for overtime wages. This is a cycle based position with an end date of November 15, 2022.
