SlashData is the leading research company in the developer economy: We help the world understand developers and developers understand the world. We survey 40,000+ developers annually - across mobile, IoT, desktop, cloud, AR/VR, web, games, data science, and machine learning - to help clients such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Amazon understand who developers are, what tools they love or hate and where they are going next.

We’re now looking for a Data Analytics and Insights consultant who will maximise the value of our data aiming to discover the opportunities that will help our clients improve their business outcomes.

You’ll be working based in Europe or MEA, working remotely to support our distributed team.

You will be fearless in data crunching and keen to unearth meaningful patterns, actionable insights and intriguing stories from the data. You will have undertaken many data analysis projects in the past where your novel insights and attention to detail would impress. You will have experience in working alongside clients, either internal to your company or external, to guide them from a vague brief to a research outcome that answers their business questions, and you will have a proven record of communicating your findings to a non-technical audience, eloquently narrating the story behind the numbers. You might not have worked in the software industry before, but you have a basic understanding of how it works.

If you’re that person, we’d love to talk.

A statistical consultant or data scientist, with a background in statistics, applied mathematics or computer science, with a track record of authoring research or other technical reports.
Demonstrated experience in converting data to insightful information.
