The Role:

Morning Consult is looking to hire an experienced analyst/operator to help lead our partnerships with sample suppliers and data vendors. Specifically, you’ll be responsible for proactively reaching out to build relationships with vendors, monitoring and optimizing the health of existing data integrations, working with product and engineering to inform the product roadmap and informing business decisions around our data collection strategy.

Ideal candidates will thrive in a fast paced start-up environment in which they’re encouraged to take ownership and problem solve. Strong communication skills and a spirit of collaboration – with internal and external stakeholders alike – is critical for success. Experience analyzing data, exposure to data-intensive products or APIs, or working with product, engineering, and data science teams is preferred.

In this first-of-its-kind role at Morning Consult, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape Morning Consult’s data collection strategy more broadly. The multi-faceted set of responsibilities means that you’ll gain a broad set of experiences and regularly be part of executive-level decision-making.

• Conducting recurring meetings with data partners to nurture relationships, gain information and identify opportunities for integration optimization
• Drafting and distributing monthly supplier engagement emails
• Creating a framework for scoring and monitoring supplier health on an ongoing basis
• Performing such other tasks and duties as may be required or assigned from time to time in the Company’s discretion
• Occasional travel required

About You and What You’ve Done:

• 5+ years experience in a role at the intersection of data, engineering and business outcomes; past experience in consulting, banking or product highly preferred (but not necessary)
• Proven track record of building successful partnerships and managing complex data integrations
• Excellent communication skills with both executive audiences and highly technical stakeholders
