In particular, our specialism sits in alternative data. From credit card transactional data to social media sentiment products to mobile app datasets - our goal is to ensure we communicate not only what alternative data products exist, but also why someone would want to use them.

• Treat everyone how we would like to be treated.
• Work better together.
• Do it the right way.
• Be uncompromisingly honest.
• Never cease to improve and innovate.

• Research team support: Coordinate weekly updates, briefings, and quarterly knowledge-sharing sessions.
• User engagement: Gather client feedback and develop strategies to enhance engagement.
• Account management support: Assist in tracking client needs, identifying concerns, and supporting outreach efforts.

The successful candidate will not only perform the above duties accurately and reliably but will also play a role in improving existing processes at Neudata.

Who we are looking for

• At least 1-2 years’ experience in a similar role involving most duties, or comparable duties, outlined above.
