Position: Local Political Expert — Elections Forecasting & Political Risk

Type: Contract

Compensation: $150–$250/hour

Location: Remote

Qualifications

  • Strong polling literacy and causal event analysis.
  • 8+ years of direct experience or equivalent performance.

Preferred

  • Experience in political science departments and survey research centers at universities in target states.
  • State and regional pollsters, state-level campaign and party analytics teams.
  • Decision desks or race-ratings outlets with state-specific coverage.
  • National forecasting or political-risk experience with deep knowledge of a specific state.

Not a fit
