Remote Lab Data Entry Jobs in Woodbridge, VA (NOW HIRING)

Movement Labs is an incubator and consulting firm that uses technology, data, and experimentation to stop fascism and build progressive power. We help progressives win and defeat MAGA extremists through year-round work grounded in research and real-world testing. Our team develops innovative tactics, wins elections, and shifts power for the long term.

About the role

We're looking for a Development Associate or Senior Development Associate to join our Development team through the current election cycle, with the possibility of extension. This is a hands-on, detail-oriented support role: you'll help keep our fundraising operation running by handling the spreadsheet work, data entry, prospect research, list pulls, and grant report drafting that our fundraisers and systems depend on. You'll also help operate some of the automated workflows the team is building - for example, triggering automations that generate briefings for the right people ahead of donor conversations. 

This is a temporary hire for the 2026 election cycle that will run from ASAP to November 13, 2026, with the possibility of extension based on need and performance.

This role is fully remote.
