Digital Associate at Grassroots Analytics

In GA’s Digital Department, our team of experts works to democratize fundraising and set new standards for innovation. We can – and do – try something new every day, thanks to the power and scale of our database. In essence, we exist to jumpstart programs whose biggest barrier to success is the status quo. 

Job Description

We’re seeking a Digital Associate with the flexibility, creativity, and collaborative spirit to support both Peer to Peer list rental clients and full-scale programs in our Digital Lab. The right candidate will be a sponge for industry knowledge, soaking up new information, strategy, best practices, and feedback. Most importantly, this person will recognize that their job is to learn. 

To be clear, this role is focused on the power of text and email fundraising, and we’re seeking someone passionate about those. While social media, marketing, and advocacy are phenomenal tools, they are not the core of this job, and this may not be the best fit for someone seeking those career paths.

This is a position designed for growth, both within the core role and as a member of a dynamic, expanding team. If you lean left, want to flip Congress and state houses (and school boards, and…!) blue, and care about how we raise the money to make those wins possible, we want to meet you!

Responsibilities

• Provide program support to multiple full-service Digital Lab programs, contributing to content ideation, production, data tracking and analysis, etc.
• Utilize Grassroots’ progressive donor database to pursue hyper-targeted list-building for both Peer to Peer and full-scale digital clients
• Master email and text campaign production in all relevant platforms 
• Write compelling email and text fundraising content in accordance with best practices
• Maintain internal results trackers 
• Participate in client communications, including weekly calls and creating analytics reports
• Monitor industry developments and learn how to discern trends, opportunities, and impact

Required Qualifications 

• Experience working in an office environment or on a campaign – can be short-term (internships and university work study qualify!)
• Strong writing skills within a range of styles and formats
• Comfort with data tracking and analysis, and sincere excitement to learn more complex applications 
• Openness to feedback, willingness to be wrong, and flexibility to pivot when necessary
• Passion for and belief in the power of digital fundraising to influence our future
• Demonstrated commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusion 

Preferred but not Required Qualifications

• Basic HTML knowledge 
• Experience using CRMs, SMS platforms, and/or donation platforms (ever text-banked for a candidate or set up a donation form for an on-campus fundraiser? That counts!)
• Direct experience in fundraising

The salary range for this position is $55,000 – $59,000 plus benefits, with the possibility of signing and performance bonuses. This is a full-time, in-office position based in our office in the Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Candidates must be willing to work in-office. 

We offer 33 days of PTO + two days for every year with GA; 11 federal holidays; and full office closure between Christmas and New Years. Additional benefits include healthcare, dental, and vision insurance; paid parental leave; mental health and sick days; 401K with employer match; profit sharing; and more.

Applicants should provide a resume and a one-page cover letter that describes the unique value they are prepared to bring to this role.
