About Center For Tech and Civic Life
When you think about elections, you might think about popular candidates, “I voted” stickers, and all sorts of paperwork and deadlines. But behind the scenes are thousands of people in state and local governments who are working hard to make sure accurate election information is published, ballots are counted, and voices are heard.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) is a nonpartisan nonprofit that catalyzes excellent election administration across the United States. We do this by supporting election departments, field building, and conducting research to provide actionable insights.

At CTCL, we believe that everyone deserves time to rest and recharge. That’s why we offer:

• Unlimited paid vacation –and actually encourage you to use it
• All federal holidays off
• A two-week paid winter break at the end of the year

To give you the support and time you need to care for yourself and loved ones–in good times and bad–we offer:

• Unlimited paid sick days when you or someone in your care is ill
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave each year for care and bonding with a new child, including adoption and foster care
• 12 weeks of paid family leave each year to care for family members with serious health conditions
• Up to 26 weeks of paid medical leave for extended absence due to a serious health condition, including recovery from childbirth
• 5 days of paid bereavement leave when someone you love passes away

To honor, support, and celebrate full‑time staff who have dedicated seven consecutive years or more to CTCL, we offer eight weeks of paid sabbatical leave
.

Our comprehensive health and wellness package includes:

• Premium health plans through Cigna
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Flexible spending account (FSA)
• Dependent care spending account
• Life and AD&D insurance

Plan for your future with a fully‑vested 401k retirement savings plan. CTCL matches your contributions up to 4%.

Professional Support

While we are headquartered in Chicago, CTCL is a remote-first organization, because we know that talent is more important than zip code.

We offer a flexible work schedule to support balance and productivity. Employees are expected to work during CTCL’s core hours from 12 PM to 4 PM CT, Monday through Thursday. Outside of those hours, you have the flexibility to set a schedule that works best for you and your team.

CTCL is invested in your growth! Whether you want to attend a conference, enroll in a course, or just read a good book, we offer $500 annually towards your professional development.

Making sure you have the right tools to get the job done is important–especially in a remote‑first working environment. CTCL offers a $900 annual employee allowance to put towards the equipment and services you need to work safely and comfortably in the office or at home.
