Do you see data as more than just a jumble of digits? Do you jump into the numbers like it’s a playground, full of nuggets of info that can transform how a business operates? Then we might have the job for you! AlphaSights is looking for a detail-oriented data fanatic who’s ready to deep-dive into our databases, analyze the ins-and-outs, and use those findings to help drive our business forward.

As a Senior Analyst, Strategy & Operations in our New York office, you will be part of a fast-paced, collaborative and iterative environment. You will partner with senior stakeholders to address key challenges and identify proactive and innovative opportunities to help drive our business forward in helping to shape the organization's thinking about Big Data.

You will roll out ‘applied analytics’ initiatives that will be leveraged across core business processes and enable your stakeholders to access critical business insights and data science ever more easily. Over time, you should expect to increasingly inform the company’s strategic thinking based on the business insights that you proactively and independently generate.
