Top Five Reasons to Work at the Analyst Institute 

The Analyst Institute helps progressive change­-makers win big fights, by figuring out what really works in politics and social justice organizing. We're a great team to join. Here's why. 

1. You'll have impact, and know it.  The Analyst Institute may be a rigorous research institute, but we don't care about knowledge for its own sake. We're in a privileged position between data analytics and the frontlines, and we combine the best of both to have real­ world impact. 

2. Learn lots, and quickly.  The Analyst Institute runs dozens of research projects at a time, and the Director of Analytics will touch all those projects. So you'll get to drink from a firehose of learnings, and build your expertise in the field. 

3. Center of a powerful hub.  In addition to doing our own original research, we convene a powerful community of progressive innovators fighting the good fight alongside us. So you'll have a first­-hand view of the latest developments in the field. 

4. Get to know the progressive movement.  From racial justice to labor to the environment to LGBT rights to electoral campaigns and everything in between, you'll have broad of exposure to many progressive issues and campaigns. If you're not a one­ issue person, you'll feel at home here. 

5. Brilliant co­workers who have your back.  We're not a huge team, but we're a strong team. We're all in this for the same reason – to make progressive change – so we build each other up, support each other, and put our mission above our egos. We're friendly nerds.

          Right now, we're looking for a Political Data Analyst, an entry-level job at the heart of the Analyst Institute's work. You'll be part of a close-knit and capable team, working to apply your love of data and politics to some of the biggest campaigns and elections in the world. Your co-workers, clients and partners will be among the best in the business. If you're passionate about data, statistics, and technology, and if you believe political activism can make change for the better, we want to talk to you.

As an Analyst, you can expect to be involved in AI's many fields of research. You'll prepare and analyze experiments with a direct impact on the success of campaigns. You'll work with nearly 10 years of past experimental results to draw broad lessons for the progressive community, and help communicate the results to decision makers. If you're technically inclined, you can even help build the tools we use in our day-to-day work - the Analytics team is responsible for the technology and systems behind all of AI's efforts. 

Depending on the candidate, this position can be entry-level or more senior (up to mid-level).
