Conservative political analytics firm is hiring

After posting that announcement about Civis Analytics, I wrote, “If a reconstituted Romney Analytics team is hiring, let me know and I’ll post that ad too.” Adam Schaeffer obliged:

Not sure about Romney’s team, but Evolving Strategies is looking for sharp folks who lean right:
