The Nitty Gritty
The backstory on the organization and why they need to hire you!
As the new Senior Associate, Data Analytics at this left-leaning digital services firm, you’ll perform a wide array of projects supporting their entire suite of clients. This will include audience targeting and segmentation, as well as campaign experimentation and optimization. You will work with colleagues to take raw data and develop it into actionable insights.
The Quest

- Develop cutting-edge analytics for end-to-end integration on the most pressing issues in our society. Your work will have a strategic impact on real-world progressive initiatives!
- Study up on the agency’s portfolio of political and corporate clients to gain an understanding of their challenges and strategies. Then dream up ways to use and expand their data sets to develop actionable analyses.
Why You?
How you’ll know if you’re a fit…
You’re better than good with Excel and definitively great with Tableau. Experience with Python is a big advantage. The most important thing is that you have the ability to put your head down and work in an agile and efficient way. You should also have an understanding of marketing trends and a flair for anticipating what new kinds of analysis will benefit your clients.
You’ve handled multiple projects simultaneously in a team environment before, as an analyst or associate at a marketing agency or political environment with a data-first approach.
You need to believe in progressive causes to do the work effectively, so put on your bluest outfit and wade into the weeds with an eager grin.
