About The Team:

The Strategic Analytics Team at BlueLabs drives high quality, innovative research and analysis across BlueLabs’ client sectors, including commercial, political, and non-profit clients, to inform data-driven decisions and strategy. Team members analyze and interpret data, provide strategic program insight, drive innovation across sectors, and collaborate closely with both our client and technical teams.  

About The Role:

Fellows will be provided a chance to work directly with data scientists, strategists, analysts, and client leads on meaningful, hands-on work, while being guided and supported by their manager. Fellows will also be expected to complete a capstone project as part of their program with BlueLabs.

The Strategic Analytics Fellow will learn the ins and outs of the progressive analytics consulting space. They will gain exposure to all parts of our analytics process - from collecting and organizing data to using data to analyze trends and patterns that could become useful insights for our clients. Fellows will engage with work that focuses on some of the most important current political issues, all while building professional analytics experience and developing a wide range of technical skills that will be immensely valuable. Fellows will receive strong mentorship by working closely with our staff who have a broad range of knowledge in the analytics space.

The Strategic Analytics Fellow will work with BlueLabs for 12 weeks, with the option to be either full-time or part-time based on availability.

• Assist with the creation of client deliverables, such as memos, presentations, and reports. This may include creating preliminary data visualizations, copy editing, and number-checking

What We Are Seeking:

• Genuine passion for working with a progressive social impact organization
• Eagerness to learn the fundamental techniques in data management, analysis, and visualization
• Familiarity with - or interest in learning - a coding or statistical language such as SQL, Python, R, etc. (A successful candidate does not need to be an expert in a language coming in the door, but will need to primarily learn to code in SQL on-the-job with our team.)
• Experience with presentation and spreadsheet software (Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Sheets, Google Slides, etc.)
• Familiarity with - or interest in learning - how to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Enthusiasm to learn how to use data to tell a story
