We are looking for a talented, passionate analytics professional with the skill and desire to contribute to our team. In addition to expanding our analytics capabilities, the person in this role will also take an active role in teaching others about data analysis. In simplest terms, you'll be working to bridge the gap between raw data and analysis ... and teaching others how to do the same.

If you have experience working to extract knowledge and actionable information from multiple data sources, then we would love to talk to you. If you are the type of person who comes to work every day expecting to learn, contribute, teach, and have fun, then we think you will fit right in.
 

About our Team

We aim to derive meaning from our data, enabling us to run our business better, and also equip our clients to do the same.  We believe in agile software development (lowercase 'a') and use elements from Scrum and Lean as a base for how we manage our work.  'Inspect & Adapt' is more than just a catchphrase to us.  We pair regularly as-needed, but not as a rule. We are willing to have every problem under the sun exactly once, in exchange for never having the same problem twice.
