Background: PoliOps is a new and quickly growing company dedicated to
helping progressive campaigns and organizations use their data to be
more efficient, effective, and make better strategic decisions. By
making better data available to decision-makers, campaigns and
organizations can unlock new opportunities for positive change.

Job Description: As an analyst at Poliops, you will be responsible
for developing reports and conducting analyses that help our clients
use their internal data for decision-making. This requires
integrating and synthesizing data from a variety of data sources. You
should have a keen understanding of what information needs to be
presented to be useful to a wide variety of users, be it a campaign
manager, an executive director, a field organizer, or a vendor.

A core part of the job is to develop repeatable, automatically updated
reports for our clients. These reports will evolve over time as
Poliops and our clients identify new opportunities for using data. As
an analyst, you will take the lead in designing and creating these
reports for many clients.

Finally, PoliOps is a recent start-up, so you’ll need to be
comfortable taking on new responsibilities not specifically described
in this job description. In particular, you will be asked to help
support our clients using Poliops applications.

Requirements:

• Strong data background with analytics experience
• Know your SQL: there is a time and place for query tools, but you’re
totally comfortable operating in SQL exclusively. If you don’t know
SQL, you need to show a history of being able to rapidly pick up other
technical skills.
• A passion for elegant analytics and progressive ideals
• Must enjoy working closely with others, this isn’t a good job for
analysts who like to work alone

Extra credit provided for experience with:

• Political campaigns. If you’ve been an organizer in the past, even
better!
• Intuit Quickbase
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Experience with a procedural language in manipulating data

Email your resume to resumes@poliops.com with “Analyst” in the subject
line.

With strong client uptake for our services, we are seeking a multi-
talented developer to work on developing new software to integrate
data from multiple sources and make that information actionable for
decision-makers. PoliOps is a new company where you will have to take
the initiative and wear a lot of (technical) hats. In particular,
linking data from disparate sources will require extensive database
work and API usage.

Requirements:

* Solid experience building standards-based multi-tier web
applications
* Know your SQL: database design, optimization and maintenance
* You work best (and usually only) in a framework like Rails or Django
* You don’t leave home without a JavaScript library like jQuery or

tools like Capistrano
* A passion for both elegant software and progressive ideals

member of our development team and collaboration is an extremely
important part of our working style.

on either on your resume or as a separate document.
