Position Summary:
Progressive Turnout Project seeks a Data and Analytics Director passionate about using data and technology to enact political change. We use data and research to inform everything we do. This position will build upon two cycles of programs to inform our voter targeting and data management through the 2020 cycle, and identify opportunities for experiments and research in 2021 and beyond. Overall, we are looking for a creative problem solver to help us measure outcomes, develop new insights, and ultimately achieve greater success.
This position has a dual Data and Analytics focus. On the Data side, you and your team will work primarily with our field staff to create universes, develop data standards, and build and analyze reports. In your Analytics capacity, you will identify research questions and then design and analyze field experiments to improve the efficacy and efficiency of our programs. Given where we are in the 2020 cycle, data management (including VAN administration) will be your primary focus this year, and there will be opportunities to develop a research agenda for 2021 and 2022.
As a senior level manager, the Data and Analytics Director oversees two to four Deputy Data Directors, and is responsible for setting team goals and evaluating department progress. Currently, Deputy Data Directors serve through the cycle, and the Data and Analytics Director is responsible for hiring for future vacancies.
