Contractor
We’re looking for a research assistant to join us as a temporary contractor to help us build out our Progressive Voter Guide. The ideal candidate will be ready to jump right in to manage a research load based on a formula we have used in multiple cycles to create a comprehensive voter guide for progressives. The Progress Michigan team is small but effective and we’re looking for the same low-ego, high output drive from any new team member. This is a contracted, hourly position, which can be primarily remote with occasional visits to the Lansing office near the end of the project.
