THE COMPANY
Movement Labs (Formerly Resistance Labs) is the leading peer-to-peer text political consultancy supporting progressives and grassroots activists nationwide. Our clients span both establishment and movement efforts, from senior Democratic Congressional leadership to Black Lives Matter. We sent over 150 million texts and were an important tool used in many of the critical wins of 2020's elections.
Movement Labs uses new technology and an army of volunteers to build power for progressives. As a social enterprise, we invest profits from our operations to fund new social welfare organizations or work pro-bono for critical grassroots initiatives. For instance, we have incubated Contest Every Race, a partnership with Democratic state Parties that has recruited over 2,000 candidates to run against otherwise uncontested Republicans far down ballot, with a 54% win rate.
In 2021 our incubated programs will address the growing threat of radicalization on the far right, assess the turnout impact of scalable neighborhood and relational organizing strategies, prepare to win key 2022 races and more. We have twice won competitive funding from New Media Ventures and twice won the Analyst Institute's "Expy" award for experimental leadership in progressive politics.
At Movement Labs, our full team is 100% focused on maximizing our impact, with a nimble, no drama culture. We treat our team as family and put our employees first, offering strong benefits, unlimited paid time off, flexible hours, and career advancement.
DIRECTOR OF KNOWLEDGE
Through experimentation and analysis, the Director of Knowledge will lead a small team improving tactics and providing causal proof for data-oriented (especially SMS-focused) programs.
The Director of Knowledge will select, design and conduct experiments and analysis - including A/B testing, randomized control trials, and machine learning analysis of large data sets. This knowledge will support fundraising for newly incubated programs that fill key gaps in the movement ecosystem. You will draft communications to be disseminated to leading progressive and Democratic partners. Finally, synthesizing performance metrics into actionable insights across all channels, your work will improve Resistance Labs' client services that span the DCCC to Black Lives Matter.
The Director of Knowledge is a key position for the future and growth of Resistance Labs, working directly with the founding CEO to design experiments and with the Deputy Director to coordinate the execution of experiments. You will also work closely with the Communications, Fundraising, and Sales teams to drive the rapid scaling of effective experimental analysis. You will manage a highly capable quantitative political science Phd with data engineering skills.
A successful candidate will have a strategic mindset to design experiments based on short- and long-term political goals as well as strong analytic/programming skills and significant experience with testing.
