Racial Equity Statement
As a leader of collaborative efforts to mobilize voters, protect voting rights, and win elections, America Votes is committed to advancing racial equity within our organization and across our coalition. We acknowledge the systematic racism that permeates all facets of our society, beginning with the foundational right to vote. America Votes is also engaging with an understanding of the ways gender, sexuality and other forms of oppression intersect with race and how those relationships impact inequities faced by our staff, our partners, and the communities that we engage in our work. America Votes strives to model our commitment to racial equity through our internal and external operations, programs, and partnerships. We acknowledge the inequitable structures that continue to exist and are moving forward with a sustained commitment in time, resources and people to challenge structural racism and work towards creating a reflective organization and democracy.
Position Description
America Votes is looking for a Data Analyst to find and communicate insights to improve our voter contact programs, win elections, and drive progressive change. The ideal candidate is excited about talking to staff across teams to understand their needs and questions, then creating dashboards, graphs, memos and slide decks to share answers. In particular, we're looking for someone with past political experience who loves the work we do supporting states, understands both the data and the program context, and can turn data into not just reports, but recommendations.
This is a permanent, full-time bargaining unit position that reports to the Analytics Director.
Responsibilities

• Dashboards and Reporting: Create reports used by AV staff and partners to make programmatic and strategy decisions; use reports and other tools to proactively highlight trends and insights that inform AV and partner programs.
• Analysis and Writing: Collaborate with internal program staff to translate their needs into analytics questions, investigate those questions using SQL queries and other tools, then communicate your findings in clear, accessible, and actionable ways.
• Continuous Learning: Stay up to date with research and best practices from across the political data space, continually grow your own analytics knowledge, and help national and state staff incorporate new methods into our analysis work.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
Must Haves

• Political experience - At least one cycle of data experience at a political campaign or at a progressive organization, including working with voter files and voter contact data.
• Strong SQL skills - you should have worked in a cloud data warehouse environment before, be comfortable writing queries with complex joins and aggregate functions, and care about writing clean and well-documented code.
• Experience gleaning actionable insights from data - you should be able to dig into data quickly, turn your investigations into recommendations, and communicate the results in presentations, graphs, and written memos.
• Experience creating dashboards - we use Google Data Studio and Hex, but we are platform agnostic for this role; we care that you understand how to communicate clearly in a dashboard, not necessarily that you have used a particular platform before.
• A service-oriented approach to data work that prioritizes collaboration, supporting staff and partners, and building products that center and advance racial equity.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a professional approach to communicating with team members, partners, and vendors.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with Voter Registration, especially site-based programs using BLOCKs.
• More advanced technical skills, including advanced SQL skills, coding in R or Python, or experience using dbt (data build tool) for data transformations.
• More advanced knowledge of analytics and statistical methods such as regressions, predictive modeling, or time series analysis.
• Experience with additional political data sets such as Census data, FEC reports, DDx, and digital or TV advertising data.
• Past experience as a political organizer or field staffer.
