Data Manager

The great swing state of Wisconsin often feels like the center of the political and public policy universe, especially during an election year. Major outcomes from abortion rights to voting access often ride on just how many Wisconsinites decide to stay home or show up at the polls. A lot of pressure, right? 

Luckily, Wisconsin has a super power: it’s young voters. Over 300,000 college students call Wisconsin home – when we organize on campuses, students vote. 

Building on work started during the April 2023 Supreme Court Election, we’re building a scrappy and innovative organization that will organize and inspire  thousands of college students to vote in the 2024 elections. 

 

What Will You Do?

We are looking for a Data Manager who knows that conventional campaign data systems often fall short of reaching young voters. We seek someone who is passionate about reaching young voters wherever they are, with the creativity and discipline to adapt conventional data best practices for a universe built by and for young people. 

The Data Manager will work closely with the State Director and Organizing Director to:

  • Work collaboratively across departments to develop metrics, effective reporting, and data tools
  • Oversee the planning, development, and maintenance of automated and manual reports and dashboards that assist with tracking program metrics and progress
  • Identify gaps, opportunities, and concerns based on incoming data
  • Work with campaign leadership and table partners to develop voter contact universes
  • Work to develop, maintain, and improve the campaign’s data infrastructure
  • Administer and support VAN and other voter contact tools 
  • All other duties as assigned

 

Who Are You?

A successful candidate for this role will have: 

  • At least one cycle of campaign experience in a data role
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, attention to detail, responsiveness, and a passion for the work
  • Proficiency with VAN, including experience with VAN as an administrator (e.g., managing user profiles and scripts, creating targets, and utilizing and interpreting scores)
  • Intermediate or advanced experience with Excel and/or Google Sheets is required
  • Proficiency with SQL strongly preferred
  • Proficiency with Google Data Studios, Tableau, and/or other data visualization platforms is a plus
  • Prior staff management experience is a plus

Job Details: Compensation for this role starts at $5,500/month plus benefits. This is a full time role with a target start date in March and end date of January 2025. 

 

To Apply: Please submit your resume and a brief statement of interest (150-200 words) to jobs@wiscoproject.org. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

 

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, veteran status or any other protected category under local, state or federal law.

This position will be based at one of Wisconsin’s universities and requires a significant amount of in-person work.  

 

This is not a conventional organizing position. You will be asked to think outside the box, and be gritty-as-hell to build a startup that empowers young people for many elections to come.

 

Responsibilities Include:

  • Draft plans for your campus program in the upcoming cycle and assist in shaping the overall vision for the organization in 2024.
  • Recruit, train, and manage a team of students volunteers and interns who will mobilize their peers and create a movement on campus
  • Manage fun and engaging events to educate students about the upcoming elections and empower them to organize their peers.

  • All other duties as assigned.

 

Who Are You?

  • Have a passion for progressive politics and inspiring young people to get involved
  • Be excited to think outside the box and to ideate and innovate to find the most exciting and effective GOTV tactics. 
  • Be eager to talk to as many students as possible (and be comfortable talking to a lot of strangers/potential volunteers).
  • Be scrappy and flexible; able to manage several tasks simultaneously.
  • Be a self-starter, exceptionally well-organized, and have strong time management skills.
  • Have a driver’s license and access to a reliable car.
  • Be able to work weekends and irregular hours as required.
  • Be located near or be willing to relocate to one of our focus campuses.
  • Previous experience organizing for an electoral campaign is a plus; previous experience with campus organizing is a bigger plus. Neither are required.
