  2. Participate in a hiring process that will identify high-potential individuals with data management and reporting skills who could be great additions to the Democratic campaign space, even if they’ve never worked on a campaign before 

  3. Coordinate closely with key program partner organizations like the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), Democratic National Committee (DNC), and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) to align on guidance and training our program provides to Campaign DigiDems on individual races

  5. Set up Campaign DigiDems for success as they take their next steps towards developing a career in the Democratic campaign ecosystem 

 

This is a great opportunity for someone who is an  expert on executing data strategy on federal campaigns, is passionate about coaching and developing high-potential talent, and eager to help diversify the campaign space – all while helping key races that will determine control of the House, Senate, and White House.
