Job description

We’re seeking a strategic, detail-obsessed, and entrepreneurial Head of Survey Research to lead our end-to-end survey operations. This is a cornerstone role within a fast‑growing company at the forefront of public opinion, political, and policy research. The ideal candidate is both a technician and a strategist—someone who can pull sample with precision, craft questionnaires that capture the heart of the issue, and produce analysis that shapes campaigns, policy, and public perception. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, is eager to take ownership, and wants to grow into a client‑facing leader helping shape the future of political polling.

Survey Design & Execution

  • Develop sample frames and pull representative samples for each project
  • Set stratification targets and weighting schemes to ensure data integrity
  • Build and format master questionnaires based on client goals and analytic needs
  • Oversee or write question wording and flow to maximize clarity and effectiveness
  • Coordinate closely with the interview center and technology partners to ensure proper programming and fielding

Project Management

  • Own survey execution from pre‑fielding to delivery of analysis decks
  • Maintain timelines and quality control across multiple concurrent projects
  • Ensure deliverables (questionnaires, crosstabs, toplines, and decks) are completed on time and at the highest standard
  • Data Analysis & Reporting

  • Build and format analysis decks with clear, actionable insights
  • Incorporate trending and historical comparisons, sentiment tracking, and strategic interpretation
  • Eventually lead insight presentations and strategic briefings with high‑profile clients
  • Work cross‑functionally with analytics, product, sales, and executive teams
  • Hire, mentor, and lead junior researchers and analysts as the team scales
  • Contribute to evolving best practices and proprietary research methodologies
  • Political Alignment & Work Ethic

  • Demonstrated interest in conservative politics and a strong desire to see Republicans win at every level of government
  • Background in campaigns, political consulting, political polling firms preferred
  • Commitment to the mission of advancing data‑driven Republican success through rigorous, actionable research
  • Willingness to work evenings, nights, or weekends as needed during campaign and election cycles
  • Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in survey research, political polling, public opinion, or market research
  • Deep knowledge of sampling methodology, weighting techniques, and stratification logic
  • Strong statistical understanding; experience with R, Python, or SPSS is a plus
  • Exceptional PowerPoint skills; able to distill complex data into clear, visual stories
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects in a fast‑moving environment
  • Strong writing and communication skills; client‑facing experience a plus
  • High attention to detail and personal ownership over quality and results
  • Why Join Us?

  • Be on the frontlines of reshaping how data and sentiment influence politics, policy, and public messaging
  • Join a nimble, rapidly growing company where your voice and ideas matter
  • Work directly with top‑tier clients, including campaigns, issue advocacy groups, and corporate partners
  • Significant opportunities for advancement as the company scales
