Analytics Lead

The Democratic National Committee’s Tech team is hiring Data Analysts to support analytics needs across DNC programs, with a focus on developing sustainable systems that allow us to optimize these efforts throughout the 2026 election cycle and beyond.

Who we are:

We are a fully remote, distributed team living in 19 states and from a variety of backgrounds. Some of us have worked in political campaigns, others in public sector tech, and others in industry. We value diversity in perspective, lived experience, and the many paths one may take into working in political technology. We believe deeply in the promise of breaking the boom-bust cycle of political tech work and building technology infrastructure that will support campaigns from cycle to cycle and will improve with every iteration.

• We’re looking for Data Analysts to support analytics across various DNC departments, such as the Fundraising and Distributed Organizing teams. This role will focus on using analytics to support program work – including leveraging data to run targeted outreach programs, building and maintaining reporting to track program health, and analyzing program outcomes to optimize program over time. 

• Targeting: Manage targeting and outreach list management.
• Reporting: Build and maintain automated reporting to empower our team with key insights into program performance. Work with engineering teams to consult on data products that can be used to streamline reporting code.
• Strategic Analysis: Perform analysis to understand trends in engagement, areas of program strength, and opportunities for improvement; turn this analysis into actionable insights to optimize where we are focused over time.
• Stakeholder Management: Work with DNC stakeholders to develop and implement data standards to support consistent data entry and storage across data tools.
• Automation: Work with Tech Team stakeholders to develop products that streamline repetitive processes, such as targeting, universe development, and list movement between tools; consult on data products that can be used to streamline reporting code and other system automation.
• Ad Hoc Work: Manage ad hoc data requests from stakeholders, ensuring quick turnaround while maintaining data accuracy and quality.

• You are proficient in SQL and comfortable reasoning about very large datasets.
• You have experience tackling new, messy datasets, and structuring them for quick analysis and insights; you understand the importance of establishing data standards and unifying multiple sources of data to track program progress and optimize work over time.
• You are comfortable communicating the results of analysis to a wide range of stakeholders, including through routine reporting and leveraging data visualization tools like Looker Studio, Looker, Tableau, or Periscope.
• You can turn independent analysis projects into sustainable, documented workflows, and have experience building systems that can be used across teams and are designed with longevity in mind.
• You are curious, collaborative, and humble – ready to work with a diverse, distributed team to solve interesting problems together.

• You have experience using dbt.
• You have experience working with political data like state voter files, election results, or data on voter, volunteer, or donor engagement.
• You have direct experience with voter databases and outreach software such as VAN/ Votebuilder, Scale to Win, or Reach.
• You have an understanding of how to (and how not to) use predictive modeling, such as Turnout and Support scores.
• You have experience doing voter outreach or community organizing, either professionally or as a volunteer – bonus points if you’ve knocked doors, made phone calls, sent text messages, or organized your own friends and family to vote.
