Official Internal Title: Data Specialist

About Us:

YipitData is the leading market research and analytics firm for the disruptive economy and most recently raised $475M from The Carlyle Group at a valuation of over $1B. Every day, our proprietary technology analyzes billions of alternative data points to uncover actionable insights across sectors like software, AI, cloud, e-commerce, ridesharing, and payments.

Our data and research teams transform raw data into strategic intelligence, delivering accurate, timely, and deeply contextualized analysis that our customers—ranging from the world’s top investment funds to Fortune 500 companies—depend on to drive high-stakes decisions. From sourcing and licensing novel datasets to rigorous analysis and expert narrative framing, our teams ensure clients get not just data, but clarity and confidence.

We operate globally with offices in the US (NYC, Austin, Miami, Mountain View), APAC (Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou), and India. Our award-winning, people-centric culture—recognized by Inc. as a Best Workplace for three consecutive years—emphasizes transparency, ownership, and continuous mastery.

About the Role

You’ll join one of our sector teams, covering industries such as consumer goods, software, or financial services. These teams build and maintain the analytical data products our clients rely on to understand companies and markets.

As a Data Analyst (Internal Official Title: Data Specialist), you’ll learn how to turn large, complex datasets into accurate and useful insights. You’ll help maintain recurring analyses, investigate changes in the data, and improve the workflows behind our products.

You’ll work closely with a Data Lead and experienced teammates to learn our datasets, methodologies, and quality standards. You’ll begin by owning specific analyses and recurring tasks, with support and feedback as you build confidence. Over time, you’ll take on broader responsibility for products and workflows.

This role is well suited to someone early in their analytics career who enjoys solving problems, pays close attention to detail, and wants to understand how data informs investment decisions. You don’t need to arrive with deep knowledge of financial markets or alternative data—we’re looking for a strong analytical foundation, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.

What You’ll Do:

• Help deliver accurate, reliable data products. Run and maintain recurring analyses, complete quality checks, and investigate unexpected results. Build toward ownership of defined products and workflows as your expertise grows.

• Work with large datasets to answer client questions. Use SQL and Python to explore data, identify trends, and understand what the results tell us about the companies and industries we cover.

• Investigate data problems. Work with teammates to trace discrepancies, test assumptions, and evaluate possible explanations. Learn when to investigate further and when to ask for guidance.

• Use AI and automation to improve your work. Identify repetitive tasks, contribute to reusable workflows, and learn to use AI tools effectively while validating their outputs.

• Collaborate across teams. Partner with Research, Engineering, Product, and other teams to resolve issues and deliver high-quality products. Communicate your findings clearly and document your work so others can build on it.

• Suggest improvements. Bring questions and ideas that help the team strengthen quality checks, improve documentation, refine a methodology, or simplify a process.

Over your first year, you might:

• Take responsibility for a recurring analytical workflow, including quality checks and delivery.

• Investigate a change in a dataset and help determine whether it reflects a business trend or a data issue.

• Evaluate a new alternative dataset with support from an experienced teammate.

• Build a reusable script or AI-assisted workflow that reduces manual
