Job description

empowering independents to run, win and serve!

Overview

We are looking for a part-time (20-30 hours/week) data scientist or data analyst to contract with us on building internal reporting dashboards in Tableau for GoodParty.org, where our mission is to make people matter more than money in our democracy.

This role is primarily focused on dashboard development and minor data transformation, supporting various teams across the organization. You will work with an existing data science contractor and collaborate with team leads as key stakeholders. This is a contract position for 4-6 weeks depending on start date, with the potential to extend.

GoodParty.org is on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering independent candidates to run, win, and serve. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to independent candidates to run their campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively.

A majority of eligible voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans nor Democrats represent them. GoodParty.org is the solution. With 3,444 independent candidate wins across 48 states last year, these elected officials come from across the ideological spectrum. They prioritize people over parties and community over corporate interests. In 2024, 40.3 million voters (26% of all voters) cast a ballot for our candidates. We’re not a political party, we’re a platform and a movement.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit ($1B+ in exits, including Flipagram/TikTok and Shopzilla), GoodParty.org is building solutions so we can have a truly representative democracy where society’s biggest problems are solved.

What you’ll do:

1. Develop and refine internal-facing Tableau dashboards based on stakeholder requirements.
2. Perform minor data transformations to ensure data is visualization-ready (may involve direct work in Databricks, PostgreSQL, or dbt).
3. Assist with wireframing dashboard layouts and interpreting metrics.
4. Collaborate with team leads and the data science contractor to align dashboards with organizational goals.
5. Test and iterate on visualizations to optimize usability and insight delivery for cross-functional teams.

Who you are:

1. Strong expertise in Tableau, with a focus on building dashboards and applying data visualization best practices.
2. 3+ years experience as a data analyst or data scientist.
3. Experience with tools like Databricks, PostgreSQL, or dbt for light data transformation tasks.
4. Familiarity with Figma, Balsamiq, or similar wireframing tools for designing dashboard layouts.
5. Comfort with developing and refining internal Tableau dashboards based on stakeholder needs.

Ability to thrive in a part-time contractor role, committing 20-30 hours per week for a minimum of 4 weeks, with potential for extension.

You have familiarity with political/election reporting metrics.

You have worked at a data-driven startup.

You have experience studying, working, or volunteering in politics, political activism, or democracy reform.

You’re sick of sitting on the sidelines watching our democracy fail to meet its potential.

Join us in solving the biggest problem of our time – fixing our democracy – so all other problems can be solved.

We’re a Public Benefit Corporation that prioritizes social impact over making money.

Work where and how you like, on a fully remote team spread across the country.

Join a passionate team with diverse political views focused on one mission.

We’re fully funded for our mission. No stressing over whether the next round of funding will come through. Focus on making an impact. That’s what matters here.

The pay rate for this remote contractor position will be between $45 to $60 per hour. This range reflects the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. The hourly rate will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, seniority, education, qualifications, certifications, and organizational needs.
