Insights Associate

Location: New York | Department: CSI | Employment type: Full-Time

We’re looking for an Insight Associate to join us here at GWI. Not just any Insight Associate though. Someone ambitious and genuine, who works best in the midst of a collaborative and forward-thinking team. That’s because as a GWIer you’ll be immersed in the fast-moving world of data tech. We think big to make an impact, we’re not afraid to ask why and we always show respect. Those values are what got us where we are today, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

About the job

The insight needs of our new and existing clients are growing, which means we need more analysts in our Strategic Insights team. This team are the ‘storytellers’ of GWI and they’re all about bespoke: responding to specific briefs, seeing what the data is saying and turning it into customized stories that are the right fit for our target audiences and clients.

We need an associate to create high-quality content and assets that promote the value of our data and reveal the unexpected insights which lie within. You’ll be using your knowledge of digital trends, combined with GWI’s datasets, to put together targeted reports and outputs that are relevant to our different clients’ needs.

• Working closely with other analysts on the scoping and delivery of bespoke client projects that answer their needs. This involves accurately interpreting clients’ briefs and producing a wide range of deliverables that are on top of industry trends and make actionable recommendations.
• Working closely with the Revenue team on pitch opportunities and producing PowerPoint decks that tell stories with our datasets and showcase their value to potential clients.
• Responding to client queries promptly and thoroughly, and supplying insights, data and guidance when needed.

About you

First things first, as a disruptor in the global market research industry, we haven’t come this far without entrepreneurial spirit and a get-up-and-go attitude. So if you think we’ll see that in you, then you’re already halfway there. Here’s the rest of what we’d like you to bring to the table.

Technical

The essentials:

• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office’s Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy to put together reporting that is accurate and free from mistakes.

Who we are

GWI was founded with the knowledge that understanding your audience is really important for business. When you know who you’re speaking to and why, you can create content and campaigns that stand out to the people that matter.

Through our global online survey, we gather data on the behavior and perceptions of consumers across the world. This provides businesses with deep, actionable insights on their audience, revealed from data they trust.

It’s been going well, too. Since launching in 2009, we’ve become one of the UK’s fastest growing target audience companies. We’re not about to stop growing any time soon. As a business, we’re on a mission to re-engineer data-driven marketing, and we’re on the lookout for talented people to join us.

Diversity & Inclusion

Imagine if our data came from just one kind of person. We’d get a very nuanced view of the world. And we definitely wouldn’t have gotten off the ground as a business.

We’re so lucky to live in a society where differences are celebrated – so we’d expect nothing else from our teams. In fact, the GWI office is as diverse as our global data, and it’s really important to us that it stays that way. That means whatever your race, religion, sexual orientation or gender, this is a place to feel at home, express yourself freely and make your mark.
