This job will break most people. The pace is relentless, the standards are absolute, and you’re expected to drive your own growth. If that sounds like a warning, stop reading. If it sounds like relief, keep going.
The Work
You own a weekly U.S. survey program for a client who acts on what you deliver. That means:
- Building questionnaires that surface signal, not noise
- Extracting insights clients use to make real decisions
- Creating Tableau dashboards executives actually open
- Delivering narratives in slides that get repeated in boardrooms
- Using AI as a force multiplier, not a substitute for thinking
Your output moves strategy. Mistakes have consequences. Deadlines are daily.
We invest in training and make resources available. We don’t micromanage. The rule is simple: if you can’t figure something out in 15 minutes, ask. We’d rather answer questions than fix avoidable mistakes. But if you’re waiting to be told what to learn next, this isn’t the place.
Who This Is For
You learn fast and stay curious after the workday ends. You think in systems. You catch what others miss. You’ve spent 2+ years in an analytical role and you’re frustrated by how slow everyone around you moves. You know AI, airline, or telecom markets—or you’ll ramp fast because that’s what you do.
Title is flexible from Analyst to Director depending on what you bring.
Compensation
$60,000 to $250,000 base, depending on experience and role scope: Analyst at the lower end, Director with client ownership at the upper end. 25% annual bonus. Commission opportunities on sales and reports you author. 401(k) with 3% company contribution. Fully paid health premiums, disability, life insurance. Flexible vacation. Remote anywhere in the continental U.S.
Where This Goes
You start by owning delivery. You grow into owning client relationships. Journalists call our analysts for comment because they know their material—that’s the bar, and that’s the opportunity. The analysts who perform here become known in the industry, not because we hand out titles, but because clients and reporters start asking for them by name. We’re building the team that defines how AI, airline, and telecom markets get understood. Your ceiling depends on what you’re willing to build.
How to Apply
Find the RIAA dollar and unit sales data on Tableau Public. Create one of the following:
- A dashboard
- A 3-page PowerPoint deck
- A 1,500-word article
Tell me a story hidden in that data. Client-ready format. We don’t work in music, but everyone knows music—this shows me how you think when the dataset is unfamiliar.
Skip the obvious CD-to-download-to-streaming narrative. Don’t lean on piracy as the explanation for everything. Find something else. The interesting stories are in the data that everyone else walks past.
