About The Position

Unite America seeks a Data Analyst to serve as an embedded business partner for a fundraising team, focusing on data, reporting, and lightweight infrastructure. This role will primarily handle recurring reports, dashboards, data pulls, data-quality checks, and operational analysis to help leadership understand pipeline health, campaign performance, revenue forecasts, portfolio movement, and team operating metrics. Approximately 25% of the role will involve building and improving practical team infrastructure, such as Google Sheets-based trackers or expanding Airtable configurations, to strengthen the fundraising data ecosystem and ensure data integration with Salesforce. This is a hands-on role for someone adept at managing messy data, comfortable with Salesforce, and capable of translating ambiguous fundraising needs into reliable reports, workflows, and tools.

Requirements

• 2–5+ years of experience in fundraising operations, development operations, revenue operations, sales operations, CRM/data operations, business intelligence, or a similar analytical operations role.
• Strong reporting and dashboarding skills, with the ability to design clear, reliable reports for both leadership and frontline users.
• Hands-on experience working with Salesforce data, especially reports, dashboards, exports, fields, related records, and basic data model concepts.
• Very strong spreadsheet skills, including pivot tables, lookups, conditional logic, data validation, formulas, cleaning messy exports, and building reviewable tools in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Demonstrated ability to clean and validate messy data before analysis, document assumptions, and distinguish between a true trend and a data-quality problem.
• Ability to translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into clear reporting requirements, practical workflows, and usable tools.
• Strong attention to detail, judgment, confidentiality, and follow-through.
• Strong desire to fix a broken political system and a passion for our mission.

• Serve as the fundraising team’s first-line data partner for Salesforce reporting questions, list pulls, imports/exports, segmentation, ad hoc analysis, and recurring report production.
• Translate fundraising questions into clear metrics, reporting requirements, dashboard logic, documented definitions, and usable operating tools.

• Ensure new tools and workflows are designed with Salesforce as the eventual source of truth for important donor, prospect, activity, pipeline, campaign, and revenue data.
• Identify data-quality issues such as duplicates, stale records, missing fields, inconsistent campaign coding, unclear ownership, and unreliable pipeline stages; recommend and help implement practical fixes.
• Maintain documentation for recurring reports, metric definitions, data-entry standards, audit routines, infrastructure workflows, and common reporting processes.
• Partner with the central Strategy & Operations team on data architecture, metric design, QA processes, analytical standards, and cross-team reporting alignment.
