Summary
This is your opportunity to join an early-stage but proven digital venture that promotes a well-functioning government marketplace. You will join a small but talented team of engaged and collaborative people. You can be sure of working on varied challenges, of learning constantly, of having a tangible impact on the business and of developing your role regularly in line with the company’s rapid growth.

Role
You will sit inside the expanding Insight Team. The main goal of the team is to translate our data into actionable insights for clients and interesting stories for external marketing purposes. The role is a mix of traditional researcher and content marketer. A typical week might include:

• Writing a report for a company that wants to learn more about what the government is purchasing
• Unearthing interesting contracts for the media
• Drafting a blog for our marketing outreach
• Building our Twitter community
• Maintaining our internal reporting and key performance indicators (KPIs) 

Skills & Temperament
Confident crunching and interpreting data and with a proven aptitude for quantitative analysis, you will also be highly engaged with current affairs. The inherently political nature of our research necessitates that all the team have a keen understanding of the political and economic topics of the day. The ability to learn fast, desire to get stuck in, and capacity to originate your own ideas soon after joining are also essential.
