Description

Empower 2026 Data Manager Employment Type: Full Time Minimum Experience: Mid Level About Us Empower Project is the national leader in both paid and volunteer relational organizing. Empower Project organizes to improve people’s lives using the power of relational organizing. Together with our partners, we’ve helped boost voter turnout, especially for BIPOC communities, through our approach of tapping into personal networks of friends and family. We provide the software and expertise to help communities, progressive organizations, and nonprofits leverage their personal relationships to build power and dramatically expand the electorate. Our cutting-edge technology, Empower, stands at the forefront of the industry and is trusted by over 1,500 organizations nationwide. It’s effective. Empower has been studied in nine different independently-run, randomly controlled trials which all found that its usage led to large and statistically significant increases in voter turnout — far more effective than phone-banking, text-banking, or door-to-door canvassing. It’s growing fast. The number of conversations Empower facilitated grew by over 10x between the 2016 and 2018 election cycles, grew by 10x again in the 2020 election cycle, and then grew by 30x for the 2024 election cycle. In order to keep up that pace going forward, we need to grow our team and keep adding features that help our organizations! About the Program and Role In 2026 we’ll be running paid relational organizing programs – programs where we recruit folks to talk to their family and friends about elections and issues and then pay them for their time and effort – in several states including Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
