The work you do will be critically important both for Blue State and for our mix of leading charities, campaigns, advocacy organizations, and brands. You love to use your problem-solving skills to further clients' missions through use of data, personalization, automation, and AI.

You are a technical expert, a campaign practitioner, and a mentor to others, with the ability to communicate well with everyone from digital strategists and analysts to CMOs and CTOs. You'll partner with business and craft leaders at Blue State to shape our offerings, upskill staff, evolve our methods, and put data at the heart of our partnerships. You'll develop new and novel solutions to solve the complex challenges faced by our clients and our teams of strategists, creatives, and analysts who lead the work we do for them.

You'll report to the Chief Technology Strategist.

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. To enter our US offices or attend Blue State events, staff and visitors must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including with a booster shot when eligible. Exceptions for protected grounds will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

The salary range for this position is $125,000–$155,000; compensation will be commensurate with experience.

Some things we're looking for

8+ years of experience in data science and data strategy with direct experience working with CRM data.
Experience with a range of marketing technologies, including a mix of CRM systems, messaging platforms, journey management tools, media platforms, and business intelligence tools. Knowledge of emerging categories like CDPs and personalization tools is a plus, as is experience with technology platforms typically used by non-profit organizations.
Experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a big plus.
You can code when needed, with experience in SQL, Python, R, or Javascript. You know what it takes to operationalize solutions, from development and release processes to deployment strategies to monitoring and issue resolution.
You have experience telling stories through data visualization. In addition to data manipulation and processing, you're familiar with more advanced libraries or packages for stats modeling and machine learning. Experience building robust ETL or ELT pipelines is a definite plus
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.
A shared passion and curiosity for making change. This includes comfort with ambiguity, a restlessness that resists the status quo, and a commitment to quality that ensures we're always making progress.

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.

Blue State is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible application and interview process. If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation for a disability, please contact us at with the subject line: Accommodation Request to get started.

Your privacy is important to us. You can find out more information on how we handle your data for recruiting purposes in our Privacy Policy for Recruitment.
