JOB DESCRIPTION

It takes more than the President to change the country! But most voters won’t know they’ll be voting for important local offices like City Council or School Board until they’re already at the ballot box.

 

Branch Politics is a free, nonpartisan website that walks through voters what's on their unique ballot. We empower hundreds of thousands of voters to quickly and confidently vote for who aligns with their values, for every office on the ballot.

 

We are looking to hire a team of full-time Election Researchers to write informative profiles for candidates on the ballot this November.

 

**What is an Election Researcher? **Researchers get paid to apply their knowledge and passion for policy to write concise, accurate, helpful summaries of candidates' beliefs and platforms around key issues. For some of the larger statewide races, this work is viewed by hundreds of thousands of voters. You can see sample candidate profiles here.

 

Details:

  • Remote Work: This position is fully remote, allowing you to work from anywhere.

  • Start Date: We are looking for candidates who can start immediately—potentially as early as this week!

  • Duration: The contract runs from now until mid-late October.

  • Compensation: $15/hr to start, with potential for pay raises as you progress through different seniority levels.

  • Hours: Flexible working hours and schedules. Researchers can choose when to profile candidates, with a commitment of 40 hours per week.

  • There will be 3-4 meetings each week, each lasting 15-30 minutes that you’ll need to attend.

 

**Get your application in ASAP! **Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority being given to applicants who apply soonest.
