Job description

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 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 Strategic Analytics Team at BlueLabs drives high quality, innovative research and analysis across BlueLabs’ client sectors, including commercial, political, and non-profit clients, to inform data-driven decisions and strategy. Team members analyze and interpret data, provide strategic program insight, drive innovation across sectors, and collaborate closely with both our client and technical teams.

Our team is often called to answer questions like:

What are the meaningful messaging takeaways from a survey of industry elites for a major corporation to consider in their paid communication?

What political trends should a campaign be aware of, and what are the different pathways to victory?

How do we present our models, calculators, and reports, so our partners get the information they need?

About the role:

As part of the Insights at BlueLabs, you’ll be working with a group of analysts and data scientists who work across BlueLabs’ client sectors, including commercial, political, and non-profit clients, to inform data-driven decisions and strategy.

This position requires a mix of analysis and data management as well as client presentation and communication. You’ll be responsible for hard analysis as well as putting together the data infrastructure, reports, and calculators that will power our solutions as well as creating the client-facing materials that summarize those findings.

Analysts at BlueLabs are the ones with the best understanding of the nuances of a client’s data and our solutions. They can execute on the perfect solution but can also discover the answer that gets us 95% of the way there is a quicker and more efficient way.

Some of our work is templated, but our team excels when they come up with creative solutions to the problems. This will require creating new calculators or analyzing existing outputs in a new light.

Some examples of projects you might work on:

Analyze polling data to discover trends and insights and then create a report that clearly communicates your findings

Build crosstabs that detail the makeup of an advertising audience, target universe, or group of survey respondents

Present your findings to clients and other stakeholders who may be made up of non-technical and/or highly technical people.

Mentor analysts or fellows and support their growth and development

Such other reasonable tasks may be assigned by management.

Tools of the Trade

We work closely with our data science team, so you’ll need an understanding of statistical concepts, be able to interpret results and explain them to non-analysts

We use big data sets so you will need to be comfortable with tools to access information and analyze that information such as SQL and some statistical and/or spreadsheet software

We use an array of business intelligence tools to visualize our findings. Members of our team have different strengths such as GIS or Tableau -- so we look for some experience using such tools

We’re only successful if we can communicate our findings; writing skills, PowerPoint, Keynote and other tools of the consultant toolbox will help you succeed in this job

What we are seeking:

You likely have at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field with a statistical background or at least 2+ years of experience analyzing data and building reports

You are passionate about harnessing data-driven solutions to improve social outcomes

You’re eager to learn techniques in data management, analysis, and visualization

You can recognize patterns and are careful to check assumptions--whether they are your own or someone else’s

You have excellent attention to detail and a keen eye for design

Your experience manipulating data to identify clear insights allows you to be able to conduct data analysis even on tight deadlines, where the problem is unstructured, or the guidance is open ended

You’ve created reports and worked with data visualization and business intelligence tools

You’ve created maps with GIS data and used software such as QGIS or ArcGIS

You have experience with programming languages such as Python and SQL

You have worked with spreadsheet and presentation software (Excel, Google Sheets, PowerPoint, Keynote)

What Recruitment Looks Like:

The successful candidate will complete up to three interviews (HR phone call, team member interview, and panel interview). There will also be a technical assessment. During the interview process, you will be asked questions to describe your background and experience relevant to the position. This may include providing examples of projects you worked on, tools or applications you've used, and knowledge you have applied. We often look for explanations of "how or why" so it's helpful to have details ready.
