About the role:

The Data Manager will design, build, and maintain the data infrastructure needed to operationalize Indivisible’s mobilization efforts. Reporting to the Operations Associate Director, this position serves as both a system architect and a hands-on administrator. You will bridge the gap between our mass mobilization tools and our internal operational workflows, ensuring that data moves seamlessly between systems to support data-informed strategy for our actions and campaigns.

This role works closely with the Mobilization Department to ensure our tools (EveryAction, Mobilize) and automated workflows (Airtable, Formstack) are aligned with the department's needs for large-scale actions, rapid response, and distributed events. You will also play a key role in triaging internal support requests and maintaining the integrity of our distributed technology stack.

This position is a good fit for someone with a background in political technology administration who is eager to build scalable systems and deepen their skills in technical operations within a mission-driven environment.

What you'll do:

System Architecture & Workflow Automation - 30%

• Design and build automated workflows connecting our core platforms (EveryAction, Mobilize, Airtable, Formstack).
• Audit current systems to identify bottlenecks and implement scalable solutions for high-volume mobilization moments and national days of action.

Data Hygiene & Database Administration - 25%

• Serve as the primary administrator for EveryAction and Mobilize.
• Execute routine data hygiene audits (de-duping, standardizing tagging), manage user permissions, and troubleshoot synchronization errors to ensure clean data for mobilization tracking.

Reporting & Action Analytics - 15%

• Create and maintain dashboards to provide Directors and Mobilization staff with real-time metrics on event capacity, shift recruitment, and action outcomes.
• Translate raw data into actionable insights for the Mobilization team.

Technical Support & Triage - 10%

• Triage and route internal data support requests via our help desk (Freshdesk), resolving straightforward data issues and troubleshooting integration failures for Mobilization staff.

Training & Documentation - 10%

• Train staff and mobilization leaders on data tools and best practices.
• Create and update "how-to" guides and documentation to empower non-technical staff to utilize data effectively for their events.

Vendor & Project Management - 5%

• Serve as the primary administrator for EveryAction and Mobilize.
• Execute routine data hygiene audits (de-duping, standardizing tagging), manage user permissions, and troubleshoot synchronization errors to ensure clean data for mobilization tracking.

Other duties as assigned - 5%

Qualifications:

• 2-3 years experience as an administrator or power user of political technology such as EveryAction (VAN) and Mobilize.

• Problem-Solving: Strong ability to diagnose technical issues, troubleshoot integration failures, and devise creative solutions for data challenges.
• Communication: Experience explaining technical concepts to non-technical users and translating complex processes into simple documentation.

Qualifications:

• Background in large-scale mobilization, rapid response, or volunteer coordination.
