Junior Analyst

This is an entry-level position for the quantitatively-minded, who don’t shy away from challenging problems and who have the communication skills necessary to explain the answer to clients. We are looking for someone who can think on their feet and adapt to unexpected needs and novel problems. You should also enjoy diving into difficult problems, get excited about new tools and techniques, and know how to ask for help when you get stuck. Not only will you process, manipulate, and analyze data in a wide variety of formats and structures, you will also write reports, participate in conference calls, and present results to clients. Whether you’re working independently or collaboratively, you will be a part of the team. You don’t necessarily need experience with predictive modeling, statistical analysis, and big-data processing, but you will learn those skills on the job.


Required Skills

  • Desire to learn, develop new skills, and improve existing skills

  • Attention to detail, take pride in high-quality work

  • High level of general computer skills

  • Basic proficiency in a scripting or programming language (any language is fine, but R and

    Python are preferable)

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative, scientific, or engineering field; or another field with

    outside experience (Coursera, other MOOCs, work experience)

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • 0-4 years of real-world experience analyzing data


Valuable Skills

  • Past work with survey data, demographic and consumer data, or large databases

  • Background or coursework in statistical analysis or predictive modeling

  • Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases

  • Experience with R, Python statistical libraries, or STATA

  • Experience with git, subversion, or other version control tools

Benefits

  • We like being happy, and we like being around happy people. Along with competitive salaries and health coverage, we offer:

  • Great weather and big windows

  • Reasonable and flexible working hours

  • Offices in the most walkable and commute-friendly part of Pasadena

  • Metro passes (we're only a couple blocks away from a station) or parking

  • A small and cohesive team of bright people

  • Work that provides structured projects that introduce, develop, and hone relevant industry skills, while also giving space for self-directed and collaborative exploration of new ideas, tools, and skills.
