Job Description:
We currently have an opening for an Analyst on the team and are looking for someone who is a great communicator and a data geek. Candidates should be equally comfortable in a room full of marketing leaders or getting elbow deep in mining data to get to the bottom of a burning client question. They should have a strong background in client consultation, and the ability to identify what type of insights the client needs from the data. We also require well-honed skills in data analysis, writing, and presentation development and delivery. This position is fully remote with a preference to candidates in EST and CST.

- Managing custom analytics projects for a core set of clients

- Becoming an expert on MRI Simmons core datasets and internal tools for data mining and analysis
- Supporting other team members on data mining, analysis and deliverables for larger strategic clients
- Developing a broad understanding of industries our clients work in (e.g. media, retail, finance, health and beauty)
- Collaborating with other team members to develop and improve upon the deliverables we produce for clients
- Supporting Marketing team on research and product initiatives, with the opportunity to author blogs and social media posts from our datasets
Now that we have introduced you to the position of Analyst, Custom Analytics, what skills, qualifications, and experience should you, have?
