About The Team:

The Ripple & Data fellow will support the development team of our product and Data teams.

Ripple is a business-to-business technology product that helps our clients identify, engage, and measure impact on influencers who matter to their causes or brands. You will join a small and growing team of data, engineering, and product professionals to help us solve some exciting and challenging problems and to deploy the next generation of Ripple.

Our Data Department is all about creating efficiency in the analytical process. The team helps ensure data pipelines are up and running, breaks down data silos to ensure we aren’t duplicating acquisition efforts, and creates documentation to help the Insights team better understand the data they are working with. The Data Department is also the go-to for analyzing the value of new data for acquisition and exploring how to better utilize our internal data.

About The Role:
