About the Role

Are you a self-starter? Do you want to work where you can make an immediate impact? Are you interested in using data science to solve big and important problems in new ways — like helping nonprofits increase participation in vital social services, figuring out how to get families saving for college and retirement, or completely changing the way advocacy organizations talk about their policy platforms?

The Social Science Research and Development team spearheads the effort to solve challenges around survey research and our work is applied to a variety of both domestic and international political clients, non-profit clients, and corporate clients.

You will also actively work with our Applied Data Science teams to help clients make better data-driven decisions, and with our engineering teams to scale new research ideas into production.
