Researcher (Contract)

Civitech is a public benefit corporation dedicated to creating a fairer and more equitable democracy by building the tools and infrastructure needed to increase civic participation, empower Democratic candidates to win, and support the success of progressive causes. Since its founding in 2019, over 500 partners -- a range of nonprofit organizations, national political committees, and individual campaigns -- have utilized Civitech’s tools to reach tens of millions of voters to help create a more equitable and progressive democracy. Researchers, who can be based anywhere in the U.S., are responsible for researching a wide range of topics, including elections at all levels from national races to local special districts (such as the Illinois Metropolitan Water Reclamation District), candidates for selected elections (including their experience, qualifications, incumbent status, and issue stances), elected positions (such as the roles and responsibilities of offices like the Bergen County Clerk, eligibility requirements, and how to run for a position), and current office holders, including their years in office. It is important that our team reflects the diversity of the organizations we seek to serve. We strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and those otherwise underrepresented in the technology sector to apply.
