The Strategic Analytics Team at Blue Labs drives high quality, innovative research and analysis across Blue Labs’ client sectors, including commercial, political, and non-profit clients, to inform data-driven decisions and strategy. Team members analyze and interpret data, provide strategic program insight, drive innovation across sectors, and collaborate closely with both our client and technical teams.

Our team is often called to answer questions like:

• What are the meaningful messaging takeaways from a survey of industry elites for a major corporation to consider in their paid communication?
• What political trends should a campaign be aware of, and what are the different pathways to victory?
• How do we present our models, calculators, and reports, so our partners get the information they need?

As part of the Insights at Blue Labs, you’ll be working with a group of analysts and data scientists who work across Blue Labs’ client sectors, including commercial, political, and non-profit clients, to inform data-driven decisions and strategy.

You’ll be responsible for hard analysis as well as putting together the data infrastructure, reports, and calculators that will power our solutions as well as creating the client-facing materials that summarize those findings.

Analysts at Blue Labs are the ones with the best understanding of the nuances of a client’s data and our solutions. They can execute on the perfect solution but can also discover the answer that gets us 95% of the way there is a quicker and more efficient way.
