We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win. We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free. The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all. ## ABOUT THIS ROLE The Data Manager at the Working Families Party (WFP) ensures that data tools smoothly supercharge our organizing. Every tool has a data side and an organizing side: the Data Manager is responsible for the data side of our tools. They work closely with those responsible for the organizing side to maximize our impact on campaigns and as a movement. Based in the Data Department, this role takes responsibility for the ownership and management of the data systems for WFP’s core organizing software, such as EveryAction, VAN, Votivate, Scale to Win, and Mobilize. This role requires a balance of backend tool administration expertise and frontline stakeholder collaboration skills. They are the primary touchpoint for organizers seeking hands-on data support at the Party. The Data Manager plays a major role in ensuring data integrity for our single sources of truth in a large, multi-state, highly-coalition-oriented organization. They have lead responsibility for quality assurance and quality checks (QA/QC) of our organizing tool data. The Data Manager will draw upon their deep familiarity with the data structures and quirks – both on the user-interface and data table side – from previous campaigns. This person will leverage their expertise writing SQL queries to frequently access data from our BigQuery data warehouse to pull lists and calculate metrics for organizers. This is a highly collaborative role. They are responsible for supporting tool adoption and making technical information accessible through training and documentation. They act as a thought partner to organizers and staff to develop effective data organization systems. They conduct training and prepare standards on the data side of tools so that organizers know how to cleanly generate and upload data in our systems. The Data Manager coordinates with other members of the Data Department; for example, when the Engineering Team needs to create a new sync or data model. The Data Manager proactively engages the Analytics Director and Data Director for prioritization, consults, and progress reporting and bases decisionmaking on wider Party, Department, and Team strategy. ## ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Data Systems Ownership - Serve as an in-house data expert on organizing tools, including EveryAction, Mobilize, VAN, Votivate, and others.
