What we do

At Civis Analytics, we bring objective, data-driven truth to organizational decision-making—from the boardroom to the world’s largest progressive social causes.

This mission isn’t an aspiration: it’s something we see realized every day, and it brings purpose to everything we’re working on.

We combine a sophisticated SaaS product with our specialized data science consultancy to empower tens of thousands of active users to make millions of data-driven decisions every month. From joining disparate data sources and automating reporting, to building more elaborate models of targeted audiences and optimizing messages for them, organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the City of Boston, and iHeart Radio trust Civis’s technology to make their most critical decisions.

Core to our product and consulting offerings is Civis Platform, which makes it easy to import, manage, transform, analyze, and report on data. Our customers love Civis Platform because it empowers them to focus on finding data-driven answers to their most critical questions—in other words, we empower them to run their business, rather than running a tech stack.

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.

What we are looking for

The Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer is one of the most important jobs at Civis Analytics. You will be responsible for supporting not only our CEO, but also overflow for other C-level executives as needed.

As an EA to the CEO in a growing technology company with offices in Chicago and D.C., you must be proactive in scheduling meetings for the CEO and ensuring that staff prepares necessary materials well in advance for his review. You will also be responsible for planning and booking travel as well as making last-minute changes that may occur outside of regular business hours. The EA is the face of the office of the CEO and is expected to act accordingly by serving as a top of the line customer service representative to internal and external stakeholders.  

A strong candidate will be a jack/jill-of-all-trades, working on special projects as assigned. You’ll need to recognize the value of the CEO’s time and will be tasked with implementing systems to make processes more efficient. You’ll be handling tasks both large and small to keep the office running smoothly with little guidance and a lot of autonomy. You will also work closely with our Head of PR and Events for media requests and speaking engagements.

We are looking for individuals from diverse backgrounds with demonstrated quantitative and problem-solving skills. We value creativity, hard work and on-the-job-excellence and offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification document form upon hire.
