Higher Heights Leadership Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, and its sister organization, Higher Heights for America (Higher Heights) are the leading national organizations providing Black women with a political home exclusively dedicated to harnessing their power to expand Black women’s elected representation and voting participation and advance progressive policies. 
Higher Heights was founded by Black women for Black women’s political growth and equity, with a winning plan for building collective political power and expanding Black women’s elected leadership. Higher Heights’ mission includes: 
- Investing in the next generation of political leaders. 
- Organizing and mobilizing the power of Black women voters through its #BlackWomenVote campaign. 
- Creating an environment for Black women to vote, run, win, and lead, through online training, research, cultural-shifting communications work, and digital campaigns.

**THE ROLE:  **
The Data Manager(s) will assist the Vice President of Institutional Development as well as other cross-departmental executives.
