Job description
The Democratic Governors Association (DGA) is searching for qualified Research Director candidates for our Democratic gubernatorial campaigns across the country. If you are interested in being a Research Director on a gubernatorial race in 2025 or 2026 please submit your resume here. The DGA works very closely with the campaigns of Democratic candidates for Governor and intends to share qualified resumes with these campaigns as the campaigns’ positions become available.


Research Director Positions

  • Qualified candidates can demonstrate the ability to write research books, hit docs, and back up paid media on the tight deadlines required by a competitive election cycle.
  • Experience managing staff and working with consultants a plus.
  • Two or more cycles of research experience preferred.
  • Preferred qualifications, responsibilities, and duties vary by campaign.

  • The DGA is looking for candidates willing to move to be on the ground on a gubernatorial race in 2025 or 2026.

    Resumes submitted through this link are only for positions working directly on gubernatorial campaigns — not for any positions with the DGA in Washington, DC.

    This posting will be taken down when campaigns are no longer searching for candidates.
The DGA recognizes that its continued success requires a staff of hardworking, intelligent people from diverse backgrounds, and seeks the same for gubernatorial campaigns. The DGA is committed to ensuring equal opportunity employment regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, or veteran status. The DGA strongly encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply to these positions.
 
The DGA may contact applicants to further discuss these roles, or may just pass their resumes along to campaigns.
