Our customers include investors, corporate strategists, HR teams, academics, and governments. We are working on some of the most challenging and cutting-edge data science problems. Our startup is small and growing quickly, with enormous potential for growth.
We are looking for an applied Economist to join the Economics team. The Economics team at Revelio Labs is charged with many exciting tasks: Analyzing and deriving insights from our data, writing our weekly newsletter, collaborating on large-scale research projects with academics, working on internal models, and working with our clients to deliver custom insights.
