Careers at Clarity

Analyst Fellow

Clarity Campaign Labs (claritycampaigns.com) provides customized polling, analytics, and strategy solutions for Democratic campaigns and socially responsible organizations who need a data-driven approach that best supports them in winning close races or solving difficult problems. Rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, Clarity believes tailored strategies, grounded in real-world application, give our clients the advantage they need to understand whose opinions and behaviors they can change, and what they need to do to win. We founded Clarity in 2012, bringing together a diverse set of individuals with decades of political campaign strategy, data, and analytics experience. Our team has worked on hundreds of races across the country, from presidential races to governor, senate, and congressional elections to local issue advocacy campaigns, and everything in between.
