Unite America seeks a Data Analyst, reporting to the Sr. Director of Enterprise Systems & Operations, to serve as the embedded business partner for a fundraising team on all things data, reporting, and lightweight infrastructure.
This role will primarily focus on recurring reports, dashboards, data pulls, data-quality checks, and operational analysis. This person will help fundraising leadership understand pipeline health, campaign performance, revenue forecasts, portfolio movement, and team operating metrics.
About 25% of the role will focus on building and improving practical team infrastructure. That may include ad hoc tools such as a Google Sheets-based event invite tracker, or more durable systems such as expanding an Airtable configuration to support a new fundraising workflow. In all cases, new infrastructure should strengthen the resilience of the fundraising data ecosystem and ensure that important data eventually makes its way into Salesforce.
This is a hands-on analyst role for someone who is strong with messy data, comfortable working in Salesforce, and able to turn ambiguous fundraising needs into reliable reports, workflows, and tools.
Unite America believes that there is strength in diversity and strongly encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds and from across the political and ideological spectrum to apply.
Denver-based candidates are strongly preferred, though exceptional remote candidates will also be considered. Relocation support is available for candidates interested in moving to the Denver area. Remote employees should expect to travel at least four times per year for organizational retreats and meetings.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a non-partisan, philanthropic venture fund that invests in candidates, campaigns, and organizations in order to advance nonpartisan election reforms that will foster a more representative and functional government capable of solving America’s most pressing challenges.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 35+ person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement. The organization has existed in its current form, and with its current primary focus, since 2019; in that time, we have successfully mobilized tens of millions of dollars from scores of philanthropists to candidates and reform campaigns across the country.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country, and an inclusive democracy in which leaders embrace problem-solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, we have a vision of building an organization that reflects diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives, a culture of working across differences toward common goals, and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.

Recent victories where we played a leading or a major supporting role to win: a major anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; a first-of-its-kind,top-four nonpartisan primary system in Alaska that helped elect one of the most ideologically diverse slate of statewide officeholders in recent history; and a ballot initiative in Nevada to implement Alaska-style reforms in that state.
