Job Description

Unite America seeks a part-time summer intern to assist with systems building and data gathering. 

This individual will work under the supervision of the Senior Compliance & Operations Manager to compile data and assist with building, implementing, and deploying a new Salesforce system to the larger Unite America team. The Summer Intern will examine various contracts and other data, files, and communications, to extract the necessary information to inform for Salesforce data migration. You will compile the data into various spreadsheets to assist the Unite America team in building a comprehensive system to organize and centralize our historical contract data. Our goal is to create a Salesforce environment that: contains all of our historic contracts, answers questions about current contracts, and supports us in decision-making about future contracts. Working on this project will help this individual grow professionally, developing an understanding of how valuable systems are to a larger organization and leveling up to the organization’s overall goals. 

At Unite America, you’ll learn more about democracy form and our theory of change to improve the structures of our electoral system to create a fair & representative government. This is a great role for someone with strong reading comprehension, comfortable working in google suite, high attention to detail, and for someone who loves “treasure hunting” to find important information in big documents.

Denver-based candidates are preferred, but we are open to candidates across the country with experience working or learning in a remote environment.

Unite America believes that there is strength in diversity and strongly encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds and from across the political and ideological spectrum to apply.

OUR ORGANIZATION

Unite America is a non-partisan, philanthropic venture fund (composed of several legal entities) that invests in candidates, campaigns, and organizations in order to advance nonpartisan election reforms that will foster a more representative and functional government capable of solving America’s most pressing challenges.

Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 30+ person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement. The organization has existed in its current form, and with its current primary focus, since 2019; in that time, we have successfully mobilized tens of millions of dollars from scores of philanthropists to candidates and reform campaigns across the country.

Recent victories where we played a leading or a major supporting role to win: a major anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; a first-of-its-kind, top-four open all-candidate primary system in Alaska that helped elect one of the most ideologically diverse slates of statewide officeholders in recent history; and a ballot initiative in Nevada to implement Alaska-style reforms in that state. We are poised to dramatically scale our impact in the years to come.

At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country, and an inclusive democracy in which leaders embrace problem-solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, we have a vision of building an organization that reflects diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives, a culture of working across differences toward common goals, and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
