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 poll of industry elites for a major corporation to consider in their paid communication?
• How should a movie studio structure their marketing based on who a likely movie goer is?
• 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?

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

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 is both a project manager overseeing medium- to large-scale clients as well as a hands‑ons contributor providing data management, report or calculator building, and memo or deck preparation or other analysis as needed on larger‑scale projects. Senior Analytics Manager I's are principal managers, people leaders, and client‑facing representatives on their accounts.

This position requires a mix of internal and external leadership, analysis, data management and presentation, and communication skills. You’ll be responsible for hard analysis as well as putting together the data infrastructure, reports and calculators that will power our solutions and putting together the client‑facing materials that summarizes those findings. You’ll be providing team leadership, problem solving challenges, and responsible for ensuring we hit deadlines with insightful and actionable analysis.

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.

What we are seeking

• You have demonstrated experience leading other senior analysts on large unstructured projects.
• You likely have at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field with a statistical background or 3+ years of experience analyzing data and building reports
• You possess the technical acumen to autonomously lead projects, offering direction and support to team members when necessary.
• You have 2+ years directly managing analysts or technical staff
• You are passionate about harnessing data‑driven solutions to improve social outcomes
• You’re eager to continue to learn and contribute to mentoring others in the frontier of fundamental techniques in data management, analysis, and visualization
• Your professional experience using 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 likely have at least a bachelor’s degree in a related field with some statistical background and 6+ years of experience analyzing data and building reports
• 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)
• You have leadership competencies in the following: empathy, active listening, coaching/feedback, integrity, decisiveness, and problem solving
• You are effective in navigating and managing client relationships, solving problems, making connections, and implementing opportunities

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.
