Position Overview and Responsibilities
USofCare is seeking a Director of Federal Policy to join our team of passionate, adaptable, accountable, innovative problem-solvers dedicated to making our health care system better for all people. This position reports to the Senior Director of Policy and External Affairs.
The Director of Federal Policy leads the federal policy vision, strategy, and portfolio of issues for the organization’s advocacy work within Congress, the Administration, and other national stakeholders. The Director publicly represents USofCare’s federal policy and advocacy work to external audiences, including federal lawmakers, regulators, media, and partners.
The Director works with senior leaders and staff across the organization to develop and execute on the organization’s federal policy agenda. The Director works with a high degree of independence to chart out federal policy positioning for the organization across an array of issue areas, including coverage, value-based care and payment reform, and affordability and pricing across the health care system (e.g., hospital consolidation, enhanced premium tax credits, etc.). USofCare’s policy vision and agenda is propelled by listening to people and scaling state reforms for federal uptake.
The Director develops and implements the organization’s federal policy record, assesses opportunities for influencing legislation and regulation, and produces a wide range of content to advance the organization’s mission through federal policy work and advocacy including drafting legislative text for Hill audiences, regulatory comments, and offering Technical Assistance (TA) to federal policymakers. The Director leads research and development of internal and external analyses and evaluation of policy proposals, authoring memos, reports, presentations, blogs, fact sheets and other briefing documents, comment letters and other public content, in many instances in coordination with state policy affairs staff from the organization. The Director works closely with others on the federal team to ensure successful engagement with Congress and the Administration on the organizational policy agenda. Furthermore, as an organization that focuses on building and maintaining strategic partnerships and coalitions, the Director plays an integral role in building and sustaining meaningful partnerships with key allies and stakeholders across the national policy and advocacy landscape, as well as with current and potential funders, and will represent the organization at various stakeholder tables and meetings.
The ideal Director candidate is deeply-steeped in federal health care policy and brings a record of prior policymaking success with experience having done this work in the legislative and/or executive branches of federal government. The Director is adept at making connections across the organization; integrating our findings from listening research and state advocacy campaigns into our federal policy vision and agenda. The Director identifies trends, best practices, opportunities, and solutions that help achieve organizational goals. The ideal Director candidate models the highest standards of integrity and communication both internally with our teams and externally with policy audiences, partners and funders. The Director is highly self-motivated and creative, with the ability to work in a start-up atmosphere with evolving priorities and is willing to pitch in on other duties as needed.
Qualifications
To be successful in this role, you must have a strong commitment to ensuring everyone has access to quality, affordable health care, and have a dedication to operating in a diverse, bipartisan, learning atmosphere that explores multiple policy solutions to achieve our mission. You are willing to respect different points of view, and are committed to applying an equity lens and prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion principles in all your work.
You hold at least 10 years of professional experience in health care policy at the federal level, including service in a legislative or executive branch role;
You possess deep knowledge of a wide range of federal, state, and private health insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, and policy areas related to increasing access to care, lowering costs, and eliminating health inequities;
You demonstrate keen political sensibilities combined with analytic/policy skills and an ability to “see the bigger picture” and federal landscape, and are eager to build out the organization’s visibility in elite health policy circles;
You understand and are experienced at engaging constructively with stakeholders representing diverse political and philosophical values and policy goals and you are able to build and maintain positive, professional relationships with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders;
You are comfortable briefing and advising principal-level leadership on policy, strategy, and positioning and preparing them for engagement with various stakeholder audiences;
You are able to work independently and use sound judgment and critical thinking skills and have demonstrated success in taking streams of work from idea to completion in a collaborative environment and with input from others;
You take pride in having meticulous attention to detail and proofreading, demonstrate superb writing, analytical and research skills, and possess excellent time management skills with the capacity to proactively navigate multiple deadlines and competing priorities;
You are able to remain flexible and enthusiastic about working in a startup environment and are willing to take on a wide range of tasks.

Position Description
America Votes is looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our Analytics team for the 2024 cycle. The ideal candidate has prior experience as a data analyst in an electoral context, a strong foundation in analytics methods, and a vision for how we can use data to answer key questions around targeting and resource allocation such as:
How can we leverage our field data and other resources to improve candidate models?
What's the best way for partners to use race and ethnicity models for voter targeting?
How should we prioritize field operations across our competitive Congressional races?
Our analytics team already includes a Data Analyst, who focuses on data visualization and voter contact reporting, and an Analytics Engineer, who transforms our voter contact and voter file data into base tables using dbt.

Conduct analyses, lift up insights, and create data products that inform AV's electoral strategies and help build strategy alignment across the progressive coalition. Proactively look for ways we can use our data to inform strategy and support staff.
Evaluate and produce guidance about the predictive models we use in our voter contact work. This could look like adjusting or combining existing models, assessing the race equity impact of new models, and creating suggested cut points for targeting.
Stay up to date with research and best practices from across the political data space, continually grow your own analytics knowledge, and pitch in to pair program or write code for other data projects that could benefit from more advanced methods.
Qualifications
Must Haves
Strong SQL skills - you should have worked in a data warehouse environment before and be comfortable writing complex queries with joins and aggregate functions.

A service oriented approach to data work that prioritizes collaboration, supporting staff and partners, and building for the long term.
Nice to Haves
Deeper experience with statistics or machine learning for predictive modeling, especially if you've built turnout or support models before.
Experience working with geospatial data using spatial SQL, R, or Python, especially if you've worked with spatial clustering algorithms.
