Director of Business Development


Empower Engine is a small political technology firm. We aim to make data more accessible and approachable to our users, and we focus on map-based data visualization tools. We know that a picture is worth a thousand words; since we organize geographically, that picture should be a map. We are proudly partisan and consider ourselves to be the mapping toolset for the Democrats and their allies on the political left.


Empower Engine is an all-remote company. This job will be a combination of sales, marketing, and communications. As with any company of its size, employees should be ready to take on a wide variety of challenges. The ideal candidate will be in Washington DC, but applicants elsewhere in the US will be considered if their existing network is large enough.
