Temi Akande
The Analytics Fellow will be reporting to one or both of the co-founders of Pantheon Analytics and will provide analytics and/or programming support to the team through the 2020 election period. The Analytics Fellow will work closely with our team to find creative solutions for the data problems our clients bring to us. Our work runs the gamut from building data pipelines and running fundraising reports to designing Vote By Mail experiments and analyzing Census data -- not to mention prepping for redistricting next year. As the Analytics Fellow, you will be in the thick of everything we do. See more and apply HERE.
At Pantheon, we are constantly working with databases of voters, activists, and donors -- diverse populations where understanding the cultural and political context is vital.

We strive to create a workplace that reflects the values of the progressive movement and strongly encourage diverse candidates to apply. Learn more about Pantheon at our website.
