• Knowledge in natural language processing; network analysis; and/or graph theory and the possible applications of these technologies to strategic communications would be a big advantage

What you'll be doing day to day: This is our ideal set of skills and qualities, but you may still be great for the role even if you don't see all these points in yourself. We consider learning and development to be an integral part of how we work, so if you believe you would still be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out

You'll help support, promote, and advocate for Propel's continuous evolution as a data-driven company by ensuring that the appropriate data and insights are frequently, widely, and efficiently used by our different teams in delivering our core product of digital creativity to clients and partners.

Our growing team of Data Analysts and company leadership will work with you to optimize day-to-day report-making, research, and insighting; build systems and tools for gradually scaling our data practice; and plan new data products and services that would offer strong value to internal and external stakeholders.

Some of the things you can expect to do:
