Data Analyst

Civic Nation seeks a Data Analyst to provide essential data and analytics support to the 2026 Party at the Polls campaign. This role sits at the intersection of direct voter contact, research, and program operations, helping ensure that the program's outreach is targeted, measurable, and grounded in data. Reporting to the Manager of Analytics & Research, the Data Analyst will support large-scale voter contact efforts, contribute to site prioritization and audience creation, and help ensure the program's learning agenda is executed with rigor. This is a high-impact role for someone who is equally comfortable working in SQL as they are explaining a data insight to a non-technical partner.

This is a full-time temporary position concluding December 15th, 2026.
