About The Position

NGP VAN is the winningest technology platform in the history of democratic and progressive causes, working tirelessly to innovate and advance the technology our clients rely on to bolster our democracy. We help power the trailblazers, campaigners, and advocates fighting up and down the ticket for equality, racial justice, reproductive freedom, democracy, climate reform, and more— including the national Democratic committees and progressive organizations, thousands of Democratic campaigns, hundreds of labor unions, advocacy organizations, progressive and non-partisan PACs, and other organizations. As an EA-Data Services Specialist, you’ll own the data engineering work across the full client lifecycle — from onboarding through complex post-onboarding requests. This role is a strong fit if you already think in SQL, have hands-on experience with data migrations or ETL work, and are excited to take on more technical ownership and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll design and execute large-scale migrations, build and improve ETL processes, and work directly with Engineering, Product, and Sales to solve harder data problems. You’ll also support junior team members as the team grows. In this role you’ll be owning your first migrations within the first 90 days.
