What we do

At Civis, we take a science-first approach to solving problems. With a blend of proprietary technology and statistical advisory services, we help public and private sector organizations find, understand and connect with the people they care about, so they can stop guessing and start using mathematical proof to guide decisions. We know others use “data science” and “analytics” as buzzwords, but at Civis we don’t stand for fluff, and we will always deliver scalable products and technologies — not PowerPoints — to drive your business forward. Learn more about Civis at www.civisanalytics.com.

Our mission

Our mission is to bring objective, data-driven truth to organizational decision-making – all the way from the boardroom to the world’s largest social causes.

All employees either must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, initiate vaccination before your start date, or file an exemption request prior to start date per company policy for review. Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, all Civis offices are closed and employees are remote until further notice. This is being closely monitored as the situation evolves. Although it’s likely our offices will reopen, positions hired outside of Civis office locations will be remote roles.

We are looking for a Data Science Manager to lead 6 - 10 data scientists across multiple teams. Data Science Managers are responsible for building an engaging team environment, recruiting talent to the team, and developing staff to their highest potential.  

At Civis we build software products for teams of Data Professionals. Civis Platform, our flagship product, makes cutting-edge data science and data warehousing techniques available to a broad audience. We are looking to hire experienced data scientists and engineers to scale our team to achieve our ambitious goals. Civis Data Science Managers exhibit sound judgment, ownership, and autonomy.

    • Statistical modeling of person-level data
  • Experience working with political data or government data (e.g., Census Bureau data)

Why join our team?

  • To support employees in our now fully remote work environment, we also have expanded our virtual journal and book clubs, Donut Pals (organized virtual coffee meet-ups), Lightning Talks (5-minute presentations on anything you’d like), Lunch-and-Learns, and HR Open Discussions (bi-weekly meet-up where we discuss ideas and topics of the day in a casual format). We are also able to support and accommodate flexible work from home schedules to help employees juggle responsibilities at home.
