Research & Data Analyst About The Role We're looking for a Research & Data Analyst to expand our core data platform.

You'll be responsible for identifying, evaluating, and integrating new data sources and content into our platform—ensuring data is clean, structured, and ready to power analytics, context, and automation.

This role combines deep research and analytical rigor with hands-on data work, requiring someone who can bridge business needs with technical execution.

Establish and maintain relationships with third-party data providers to continuously expand platform capabilities.

This work establishes analytical frameworks, enables evidence-based decisions, and sets the foundation for all product features.

Clean and Structure Data for Production: Profile, validate, and work with engineering to transform raw, complex data into standardized formats that integrate seamlessly with our existing infrastructure and support automation.
