About the Deputy Data Director Position In this moment of growth and opportunity for the Carolina Federation, we are looking to hire a Deputy Data Director to support the growing data management needs for our programmatic work across the state.

We are seeking a Deputy Data Director who would

• be thrilled to help grow innovative political organizations across North Carolina
• fit our culture of courageous leadership and playful camaraderie, and
• share our deep love of people and ferocious commitment to power and transformation.

The Deputy Data Director will work directly with our Data and Digital Director, our statewide Field Director and with the wider organizing staff of the Carolina Federation to support mutli-racial, multi-issue grassroots political power in our state. While our work is deeply relational at its core, we seek to utilize the most effective technical tools and tactics possible to build our membership base and reach voters in our communities. The Deputy Data Director’s primary role is to support this continued integration of our data-driven electoral work with our relational organizing work.

Specifically, the Deputy Data Director will:

• Support the overall data needs of the Carolina Federation including our 2020 field program and our county-level affiliates / chapters.
• Manage voter file access for designated staff and members. This will be done in collaboration with state-level data staff within the NC progressive infrastructure.
• Develop and lead data trainings for county-level affiliates / chapters and for aligned statewide organizations, in collaboration with state-level data staff within the NC progressive infrastructure.
• Providing close data support to the voter contact efforts of the Carolina Federation and closely aligned organizations, including phone banking, texting, relational voter outreach and other voter contact methods.
• Provide administrative support for county-level affiliates / chapters to manage and grow their membership base, including member outreach (CRM, etc.) and integration of member lists with the voter file.
• Field questions and provide VAN and data support to our twenty Carolina Federation field staff, across four counties.
• Support Carolina Federation field program in data tasks including (but not limited to) loading mass text and call lists, loading dialer scripts, and updating volunteer recruitment lists.
