Data and Technology Manager

Unidos MN is an immigrant-led, multiracial, state-wide organization building power for Minnesotan working families to advance social, racial, and environmental justice. We are an organization born out of the immigration justice movement. Immigration reform, democracy, education, healthcare, and climate justice are at the core of our work. We do people-powered electoral organizing as a democracy defense strategy aligned to our working families agenda in metropolitan, suburban and rural areas. Our medium term outcome is a community of leaders taking responsibility in the public arena, and our long term North Star is a healthy and high functioning multiracial democracy where nobody is left behind. We are tens of thousands of Minnesotans united to build a future where everyone can thrive.

Join us in this mission as our Data and Technology Manager.
