If you want to help our teams develop groundbreaking campaigns that will inspire and affect change, and if you want to grow a team of passionate individuals, then this could be the role for you.

The company

Blue State is a purpose-driven agency. We partner with leading causes, brands, and campaigns and create real change.

Led by the most creative and analytical minds from the political, nonprofit, and brand worlds, Blue State is an independent agency and has 150+ employees in the US and London.

• Set a vision for the smart use of data to improve outcomes for our clients.
• Chart a path for team growth, including but not limited to: quality of work, staffing and hiring, cross-team integration, team goals and utilization, and identification of product and project opportunities.
• Foster a team culture grounded in collaboration and enthusiasm.
• Contribute to a portfolio of clients and projects, providing strategic leadership and expertise in driving data strategy across multiple touch points.
• Help pursue new business and maintain the health of existing accounts. Assist with regular development and review of pitches and proposals.
• Develop scalable industry best practices and product offerings for the Analytics Team and across departments.
• Drive cross-client and company-wide innovation as well as strategic, programmatic, and procedural improvements.
• Drive understanding of how analytics programs fit into broader programs, and pursue a commitment to improving ROI for our clients by working closely with other teams to ensure that all pieces are moving together to accomplish client goals.
• Develop and deliver effective and persuasive presentations demonstrating the value of our work for client teams, business development, and partners. Uncover core insights from data.
• Speak publicly on behalf of the company at events, in publication, and in the media.

The team

We are a passionate group of people who are both thinkers and doers. We bring a people-first, data-driven mindset to all of our work. Ultimately, we’re about real impact for real people, partnering with brands, nonprofits, and political organizations to drive progress.

For us, this isn’t just work. Everything we do is connected to something we care about and we’re seeking an individual willing to work tirelessly to create positive change in the world.

What we offer

• Unlimited time-off (inclusive of sick, personal, and vacation days)

• Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible and health savings accounts
• 401K & employer match

We approach in-office working with a hybrid model. On-site presence is welcome for US staff who are within commuting distance of the NY or DC office. Managers retain discretion to require in-person attendance for folks on their discipline or client teams as necessary, including for those whose roles require them to be in person.

The salary range for this position is $125,000-$150,000; compensation will be commensurate with experience.

Some things we're looking for

• 9+ years of experience in digital analytics with direct experience working with CRM data, with a web analytics suite such as Google Analytics, A/B testing solutions such as Optimizely (or equivalent), and data analysis in Excel or Google Sheets. Experience in mass marketing with fundraising, advocacy, or ecommerce preferred. Experience with digital paid media is a plus!
• Extensive experience working with CRMs and/or Salesforce Marketing Cloud, data from paid media, and a web analytics suite such as Google Analytics, A/B testing solutions such as Optimizely (or equivalent).
• You are an expert in SQL, and feel comfortable managing, optimizing, and troubleshooting in a data warehouse environment, such as BigQuery or Snowflake. The ideal candidate will have experience in data modeling, familiarity with ETL processes, and deep expertise in leveraging large datasets to enable strategic decision-making.
• Strong people and team management skills. You are able to identify and solve issues, and escalate when appropriate. You resolve conflicts constructively. You proactively identify and communicate growth goals for yourself and others. You are an exceptional listener. You build teams with a recognizable culture of cooperation.
• Experience with managing people at various stages in their career. You’re a highly skilled coach and mentor. You help your team improve through clear feedback and guidance.
• Excellent communication skills. Ability to interact with all levels of end users, and colleagues.
• Strong collaborator and relationship builder.
• Ability to adapt to new situations, solve problems on the fly, and communicate with those around you. Teamwork and scrappiness required.

• Empathy, communication, respect, and the ability to act as a role model at Blue State.

At Blue State, diversity is a necessity, not a nice-to-have. We encourage those from underrepresented communities — women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, those with disabilities and people at all the intersections in between — to apply. Even if you don’t think your current skill set checks every box, but this role seems to align with your strengths, we want to hear from you.
