Revelio Labs provides workforce intelligence. We absorb and standardize hundreds of millions of public employment records to create the world’s first universal HR database, allowing us to see current workforce composition and trends of any company. 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.

What we’re looking for:

Revelio Labs is looking for an applied Economist to join the Economics team.

As the ideal candidate, you have experience doing empirical research on large microlevel data and know your way around loading, cleaning, analyzing and visualizing data.

This includes coming up with interesting questions, analyzing and interpreting our data, visualizing the key insights, and telling the story.

You will interact with clients and deliver custom-made insights from our data to them, and with journalists who are interested in our data and stories. You will contribute to large-scale academic research projects with academic collaborators. You will be representing the company at conferences and conventions and provide thought leadership on workforce intelligence topics.
