Staff Data Scientist and Researcher

We all know every decision should be driven by data. But what about the data you don’t know? For years, the status quo in data aggregation has lacked visibility, moved slowly, and cost too much. Leaving organizations to make critical decisions, day after day, without the whole picture. Premise changes that.

Across 138 countries and counting, our technology connects communities of global smartphone users to source actionable data in real-time, cost- effectively, and with the visibility you need. So leaders inside organizations, non-profit agencies and governments can now make the best decisions under the best conditions.

With Premise, organizations win. And communities win, too. People can earn more from their opinions and discoveries. They can influence their cities for the better. And, unlike other data sourcing methods out there, they can do it all with full transparency that the data they’re gathering is going to an organization that values it, and values them.

We’re growing rapidly, and we’re looking for a highly motivated, energetic, and forward-thinking Staff Data Scientist and Researcher in the United States to be a fundamental part of Premise’s Models & Methodology team. In the role of Staff Data Scientist and Researcher you will be part of a team of highly talented individuals and be responsible for helping manage and transform the data to discover insights, producing clear and compelling actionable recommendations, and you will be the bridge between our clients (internal and external) and data intelligence. If you are excited to work with large volumes of data, develop predictive models, and see the real impact of your work in the market, this is your opportunity!

Premise thinks differently about market research, an industry undergoing fundamental changes right now. We’re adopting technology around new data collection methods, geolocation and in-the-moment CX that will modernize how (and how deeply) companies understand their customers. If you’re looking to impact the future of global insights and analytics, then let’s talk.
