At Change the Game (CtG), we're building a community of passionate, progressive data professionals. CtG knows there is a lack of diversity in the progressive data space, something that is detrimental not only to living our values, but to the quality of analysis of the data we need to win. For this reason, CtG aims to create accessible pathways into this field for a diverse group of learners, who hope to gain the skills and understanding of tools needed to start working as data staffers for progressive organizations around the country. We work to ensure there's a pipeline for those interested in joining this community, regardless of where they come from, what they look like, or the level of education or experience they have.
Reporting to the Boards of Directors, the Executive Director (ED) will lead Change the Game (501c4) and Change Alliance (501c3) by determining the overall strategic vision and executing operational responsibility for staff, fundraising, organizational culture, and execution of its mission.
