We are looking for an Analytics Manager to join our Research Team, managing day-to-day partnerships across the progressive community and internally among data scientists, engineers, and analysts. You will contribute to a rapid cadence of research projects, ensuring results are delivered on time and translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What You'll Do

Serve as the point of contact for a portfolio of clients, building trusted relationships and ensuring research findings are delivered clearly, on time, and with strategic context.
Design and launch surveys that will be taken by hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Manage the fielding of multiple surveys simultaneously to ensure sufficient data collection on time and on budget.
Track timelines and priorities and liaise between data scientists, engineers, and client-facing stakeholders.
Support external outreach efforts, including presentations to clients, political partners, and other vendors and consultants.
Analyze data to answer questions from political strategists and clients.
Build subject matter context and think critically about data to discern real trends versus potential bugs to flag for machine learning data scientists.
Contribute new ideas to the ways we analyze, interpret, and communicate data.
Provide product feedback to engineers to improve tools for internal and external usage.

What We're Looking For

At least 3-4 years professional experience, including internships.
At least 1 year experience in a client or external-facing role.
Comfortable with SQL and relational databases. Can quickly orient themselves to a new dataset, perform exploratory analysis, spot data quality issues, and justify decisions about how to handle imperfect data.
Some background in R or python programming.
Can comfortably explain basic modeling and regression techniques for a non-technical audience.
Strong oral and written communication skills, especially in a remote environment.
Enjoy spending as much of their time interacting with other people as they do writing code.
Desire to work in multi-disciplinary teams with engineers, machine learning data scientists, statisticians and political experts.
Enjoy and have experience working in fast-paced environments turning around a high volume of relatively small projects.
Interested in and passionate about progressive politics; willing to engage with the wider progressive political ecosystem and develop domain knowledge.
Solutions-oriented, have strong attention to detail, and are a creative thinker who isn’t daunted by open-ended research questions.
A kind person and a team player who contributes to a warm working environment.
