• Quantify the impact of communications activity, establish KPIs, and prepare visual reports.
• Collaborate with analytics, data engineering, and communications teams to integrate press and media data with internal datasets.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2+ years’ experience in media analysis, journalism, communications, research, or related fields.
• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Political Science, Marketing, Economics, Data Science, or similar.
