Job Description
Grassroots Analytics was built with the intention of breaking down barriers to entry for all candidates, no matter their background, net worth, or political history. In GA’s Digital Lab, our team of digital experts works with a select group of upstart, underdog campaigns and causes to democratize fundraising and set new standards for innovation. We can – and do – try something new every day by leveraging our world-class database. In essence, we exist to jumpstart programs whose biggest barrier to success is the status quo.
The Digital Associate will be a sponge for industry knowledge and expertise, soaking up new information, strategy, best practices, and feedback. They will spend each day learning the ropes to deliver exceptional digital programs for clients like Mary Peltola, Maxwell Frost, and Voters of Tomorrow – as well as helping to find and launch the next generation of candidates and causes, too. This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for someone kick-starting a career or looking to broaden their perspective on the full scope of digital.
The Digital Associate will report to the Digital Director.
