Networked Insights is in rapid growth mode. We are looking for smart, ambitious professionals with an appetite for crunching data using leading-edge technology in a brand new industry. This is a great opportunity for the right individual to kick-start their career into high gear by delivering high value analysis to some of the largest brands and marketing agencies in the world.

Our technology fuels insights relevant to content, consumer behavior, and marketing strategy. We help agencies and brands make smart marketing decisions. Our proprietary listening platform, SocialSense, identifies both prominent and hidden themes contained in the vast expanse of social media data and puts them into the context of audience segments that marketers know and use. SocialSense discerns engagement and sentiment around specific topics and themes that are relevant to a brand without requiring the user to read a single post.

As a Research Analyst, you will work closely with other members of our professional services team to deliver data and analysis that supports strategic, actionable marketing recommendations for our clients. You will use SocialSense along with a full slate of internal applications and custom solutions to analyze the conversations taking place on social media forums, blogs, and other websites where consumers engage with one another. The analysis you’ll provide is a hybrid of quantitative and qualitative metrics that lead to specific, tactical marketing recommendations. Our clients are typically large, multi-national brands that hire us to improve the efficiency of their marketing budgets by better understanding social data.

Networked Insights is a technology and services company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin with offices in Chicago and New York. The team relies on each other in an environment of high energy, innovation, hard work and good humor.
