Role
Who you are

- Experience using SQL to analyze data and create datasets to be used in dashboard development
- Ability to synthesize complex business requirements to technical specifications into visualizations that provide insightful analysis
- Genuine passion for working with a progressive social impact organization
- Eagerness to learn the fundamental techniques in data management, analysis, and visualization
- Familiarity with - or interest in learning - a coding or statistical language such as SQL, Python, R, etc. (A successful candidate does not need to be an expert in a language coming in the door, but will need to primarily learn to code in SQL on-the-job with our team.)
- Experience with presentation and spreadsheet software (Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Sheets, Google Slides, etc.)
- Familiarity with - or interest in learning - how to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
- Enthusiasm to learn how to use data to tell a story
- Curiosity about complex datasets and willingness to expand technical skill set
What the job involves

They are the relied upon experts for internal teams on all things reporting and provide guidance on reporting best practices, report troubleshooting, and general training on report development
- The Reporting Fellow will be provided a chance to work directly with data scientists, strategists, analysts, and client leads on meaningful, hands-on work, while being guided and supported by their manager, a Senior Reporting Analytics Manager
- The Reporting Fellow will learn the ins and outs of the progressive analytics consulting space. They will gain exposure to all parts of our analytics process - from collecting and organizing data to using data to analyze trends and patterns that could become useful insights for our clients
- Fellows will engage with work that focuses on some of our most important clients, all while building professional analytics experience and developing a wide range of technical skills that will be immensely valuable. Fellows will receive strong mentorship by working closely with our staff who have a broad range of knowledge in the analytics space
- The Reporting Fellow will work with BlueLabs for 12 weeks this summer, with the option to be either full-time or part-time based on availability
- Collect, clean, and upload datasets for use in analysis
- Write simple ad-hoc SQL queries to assist with broader analysis
- Conduct data uploads for surveys in the field for QC review
- Design dashboards in Tableau and other BI solutions
- Work with cross functional stakeholders, both internal and external to gather requirements for dashboards, and work iteratively with those stakeholders to ensure BI solutions met their needs
- Support in the building of data pipelines used in reporting using SQL
- Create documentation for BI dashboards and pipelines detailing data sources, KPI calculations, and dashboard elements and functions
Our take
BlueLabs leverages big data to gain an understanding of and engagement with audiences, allowing its customers to launch more effective communications campaigns. The majority of its work initially came through political campaigns and social impact drives, though the company has expanded its activities into more commercial fields like brand perception and sales in the last few years.
BlueLabs has an interesting origin story, with the founding quartet all working in senior analytics roles for the Democratic Party during the 2012 presidential campaign, where Barack Obama won a second term against Mitt Romney.
Though the jury is still out on the ethics of big data methods for political motivation - for instance, the Cambridge Analytica scandal regarding its use of social media data in influencing elections - this approach has proven to be extremely effective in persuading and activating audiences. There’s also little doubt that it can be used for great causes too, as shown by BlueLabs’ work with the likes of the UN Refugee Agency, and environmental organization The Sierra Club.
