Business Analyst Manager

At Gratia, we believe potential is globally distributed, but opportunity is not. Many talented professionals feel trapped by corporate bureaucracy or their geographic location. Meanwhile, ambitious companies struggle to find hands‑on talent and are often stuck with slide decks instead of real outcomes.

Gratia bridges this gap. We are a remote‑first, apprenticeship‑based platform where opportunity is defined by what you can do and deliver. Our clients include global names like USA Today Co., Endeavor, and New York Life. We maintain an 88.2 Net Promoter Score because we focus on rigorous execution, not just high‑level advice.
