Data Manager

The Working Families Party is hiring a full-time, remote Data Manager within its Data Department. The party is a progressive political organization that recruits, trains and backs candidates and runs campaigns across multiple states. This role handles the data side of the party's main organizing platforms, so that the software gives organizers accurate and usable information.

The Data Manager acts as the in-house authority on platforms like EveryAction, Mobilize, VAN, Votivate and Scale to Win, and handles their data upkeep. Responsibilities include building templates, workflows and written guides that organizers can follow to enter, change and pull records, running quality checks, reviewing permissions and naming standards, and maintaining the endorsement and elected-official databases. The role is the main point of contact for data tickets, trains organizers, sets up connections between tools through APIs, and writes BigQuery SQL to produce lists and metrics. Creating reports and charts that guide electoral and membership work is also expected. The person coordinates with the Analytics Director, the Data Director and engineers when new data syncs or models are needed.

Applicants need at least two years working in data or organizing roles for campaigns or movement groups, plus practical experience administering electoral software. Solid SQL and BigQuery skills, comfort with Google Sheets or Airtable in advanced organizing, and familiarity with national voter files such as TargetSmart, Catalist or L2 are expected. Experience with visualization platforms like Google Data Studio or Hex is valued. Meticulous detail work, a service-oriented outlook and the capacity to design systems that serve several teams at once are also important.

Pay ranges from $64,900 to $109,000, depending on location and experience. The position is a bargaining unit role in a unionized workplace represented by Workers United. Benefits include paid time off, medical, dental and vision coverage, life coverage, FSA access, retirement options, professional development funding and remote-work support. Applicants must already be authorized to work in the US, since the party is unable to sponsor visas.
