Job Description:

GoodParty.org is looking for a Sr. Political Researcher/Senior Political Data Scientist/Sr. Data Analyst to join our mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy. In this role, you’ll use data, experiments, and quantitative models to support independent candidates at every level, helping them run smarter, win more often, and serve their communities better. You’ll join a fully remote, fast-growing startup where your work directly shapes the future of our democracy.

Job Responsibility:

  • Develop, test, and refine quantitative models of electoral outcomes, including vote propensity, voter support scoring, and pathways to victory for independent candidates
  • model constituencies and public service outcomes by collecting, imputing, and analyzing public opinion data to help independent candidates and public officials better understand and serve their communities
  • implement and iterate on public opinion measurement methods (e.g., surveys or in-product feedback) to build feedback loops on constituent priorities
  • design and run surveys and political field experiments to understand how independents can best run, win, and serve once in office
  • find opportunities for natural experiments in our product, user, and election result data
  • improve measurements of electoral and public service outcomes
  • identify new data sources and improve the usage of our existing data on campaigns, elections, voting, and constituencies
  • partner with engineering, operations, and product teams to incorporate new datasets and modeling into a scalable data pipeline and internal tools
  • enhance product features for candidates and public officials through the application of political data and modeling best practices, while continuously improving our core political models
  • work independently as a senior member of a small research team to drive measurable results quickly
  • own a cycle of constant model improvement, aiming for steady, measurable accuracy gains and better decision-making week over week
  • reports to the Research Director

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of relevant experience
  • or a master’s degree in a quantitative or social science field (e.g., political science, statistics, economics, public policy, data science) and 3+ years of applied work experience
  • or a PhD with evidence of experience working quickly with concrete deliverables
  • strong background applying data science, statistics, or computation to politics
  • experience with public opinion data: either designing and fielding surveys or analyzing combinations of data sources on public opinion or behavior and imputing data where appropriate
  • experience designing and deploying field experiments, either in the context of a product, campaigns, or governance, or you have a fine sense for identifying natural experiments and opportunities for causal measurement in political data
  • experience with forecasts, predictions, or inferential models about politics
  • hands-on experience with U.S. election data or other types of U.S. political data, and are comfortable working with messy, real-world datasets
  • able to scope questions, choose methods, ship analyses, and iterate independently
  • used a statistical programming language in a previous role (preferably R or Python), are comfortable writing queries in SQL, and have experimented with how cutting-edge AI models can be used to address political data and research questions

Nice to have:

  • Experience working with elected officials or government agencies in a data or modeling intensive role
  • led the design or implementation of real field experiments, ideally through digital products such as apps or web tools
  • experience turning research ideas on the whiteboard into prototypes or minimum viable examples of software that can be scaled by an engineering team and deployed in a product
  • you’re tired of sitting on the sidelines while democracy fails to meet its potential — and you’re ready to act
What we offer:
  • Innovative Bitcoin denominated deferred bonus plan
  • work where and how you like, on a fully remote team spread across the country
  • 100% coverage of health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your dependents
  • unlimited PTO (sick and vacation) policy
