About BlueLabs
BlueLabs is a leading provider of analytics services and technology dedicated to helping our partners do the most good with their data. Our team of analysts, scientists, engineers, and strategists hail from diverse backgrounds yet share a passion for using data to solve the world’s greatest social and analytical challenges. Since our inception we’ve worked with more than 400 organizations ranging from government agencies, advocacy groups, unions, political campaigns, and international groups. In addition, we service an ever-expanding portfolio of commercial clients in the automotive, travel, CPG, entertainment, healthcare, media, and telecom industries. Along the way, we’ve developed some of the most innovative tools available in analytics, media optimization, reporting, and influencer outreach.
About The Team:
The Ripple & Data fellow will support the development team of our product and Data teams.
Ripple is a business-to-business technology product that helps our clients identify, engage, and measure impact on influencers who matter to their causes or brands. You will join a small and growing team of data, engineering, and product professionals to help us solve some exciting and challenging problems and to deploy the next generation of Ripple.
Our Data Department is all about creating efficiency in the analytical process. The team helps ensure data pipelines are up and running, breaks down data silos to ensure we aren’t duplicating acquisition efforts, and creates documentation to help the Insights team better understand the data they are working with. The Data Department is also the go-to for analyzing the value of new data for acquisition and exploring how to better utilize our internal data.
About The Role:
