  • Conduct voter file matching analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of outreach efforts.
  • Build and maintain Looker Studio dashboards that provide accessible, decision-useful insights for internal teams and partners.
  • Generate ongoing reports during GOTV periods to monitor performance and surface actionable insights.
  • Produce a comprehensive post-GOTV analysis summarizing outcomes, learnings, and recommendations.
  • Translate complex data into clear narratives and visualizations for internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Collaborate with internal staff to define required data inputs and ensure alignment between data collection and measurement goals.
  • Identify trends, gaps, and opportunities to improve future GOTV strategies and data practices.
  • Support ad hoc analysis requests and data inquiries from internal teams as needed.

What We're Looking For
  • Commitment to social justice. Accelerate Change is a mission-driven organization focused on social change and social justice, with a focus on communities of color. You have a demonstrated commitment to this work and you'd like to be part of a team of people who do, too.
  • 3+ years experience with key responsibilities: We're looking for someone who has at least 3 years of hands-on experience with data systems management, BigQuery, Looker Studio, and statistical models. Experience with voter file matching and civic engagement metrics is a plus.
  • Creative Problem-Solver: Creative thinking to find innovative solutions to data challenges
  • Excellent Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills for understanding project requirements and collaborating with team members
  • Excellent Time Management: Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and meet deadlines consistently

Compensation
This is a 4-month, freelance opportunity with the potential to renew. The compensation range is $70 - $95 per hour, depending on experience. The number of hours per week will vary, but we estimate roughly between 10 to 20 hours per week.
