What we do

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

Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, all Civis offices are closed and all employees are remote for the foreseeable future. This is being closely monitored as things change and it’s likely our offices will reopen. Because of this uncertainty, we want to ensure candidates are open to potentially relocating to one of our offices in the future, but a totally remote option is negotiable for this role.

About the Role

We are looking for people who are excited about helping nonprofits become more analytically mature, innovative and efficient. Civis has significantly expanded our non-profit business in the past year, with clients across the country engaged in various issues and sectors of nonprofit work, from small issue advocacy all the way to multinational NGOs. To build on that success and scale our business, we are looking for an experienced technology sales lead with a passion for bringing value to nonprofits, an understanding of selling within various organizational structures, and an understanding of the emerging technology needs of nonprofit. This is a great opportunity for someone who not only knows the ins and outs of non-profit space, but who can help Civis leadership strategically determine the right territories in which to make key strategic investments.

  • Work with management to define, and then execute on sales strategies by product and/or geographic territory
  • Understand target customer buying cycles in-depth, influence those cycles where possible, and accurately forecast sales to Civis management
  • Work closely with technical teams to scope solutions to customer needs, to include developing presentations, white papers, and RFP responses
  • Develop and maintain a strong understanding of the procurement structures, key contract vehicles, potential partners, and major competitors in target markets
  • Meet and exceed quarterly and annual sales targets and assist the organization in growing existing business
  • Maintain a deep understanding of the civic technology space, and how Civis solutions meet the unique needs of our nonprofit customers
  • Identify market changes or new opportunities to and present these opportunities to the Civis executive and product teams
  • Represent Civis at non-profit events and conferences

Minimum Qualifications

  • BA/BS degree
  • 5+ years of relevant experience
  • A strong understanding of the civic technology space, ideally through direct experience with nonprofit organizations
  • An ability to interpret and navigate decision making structures in nonprofit organizations
  • Strong understanding of and interest in the use of data analytics to improve nonprofit operations
  • Effective account and time management skills
  • Strong presentation and communication skills
  • Ability to self-manage and deal with the ambiguity that comes with a successful, growth-stage company
  • Strong relationship-building, interpersonal, and organizational skills
  • Willing and able to travel up to 20% (5% during COVID).
  • Passionate about Data and Nonprofit fundraising
