Civitech builds CampaignOS -- the campaign management system that enables campaigns to develop a more complete profile of each of their voters, expand their voting base through voter registration, and manage campaign strategy all from one unified system.
Since our founding in 2019 we’ve built technology that has enabled voter registration efforts led by political campaigns and advocacy organizations that have registered over 500,000 voters.
We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist that is eager to use their time and talents in data analysis to support national voter registration, vote by mail, and turnout efforts that will help candidates from City Council to President in the Fall 2020 election and beyond.
It is important that our team reflects the diversity of the organizations we seek to serve. We strongly encourage women, people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ, and others otherwise underrepresented in the technology sector to apply.
What you will do:
- Develop and manage automated processes that ingest, clean, and standardize large amounts of data from multiple disparate sources to increase the breadth and accuracy of our voter file and voter contact efforts.
- Design and implement Randomized Controlled Trials / cohort studies for various outreach efforts to better understand voter behaviors and the impact of our interventions on voter registration and voter turnout; this research enhances our products and services for our campaign and progressive clients.
- Provide support for client and partner requests and build innovative solutions to address challenges they face, empowering our clients and partners to ultimately win elections up and down the ballot and build a stronger progressive ecosystem.
- Analyze and effectively communicate results from past projects to support client-facing team members and presentations to key stakeholders, informing how future campaigns can run more effective programming and deepening Civitech's knowledge on ecosystem best practices.
- Constantly try to develop better/more efficient methods to support Civitech’s products, users, and voters.
- While your primary role will be as a Senior Data Scientist, you will have opportunities to learn and contribute to projects across the data team, including proposal support, product ideation, and professional development of junior teammates.
