PR and Comms Insights Analyst

About Signal - Who are we?

We're on a mission to change the way businesses make decisions with our cutting-edge AI technology. To achieve that, we’re looking for passionate people to join our open and unconventional workplace. Our inclusive environment welcomes skills and experiences from diverse backgrounds, and defines who we are.

About the role - What’s your purpose?

Signal AI, the A.I.-powered platform for corporate reputation, is hiring a PR and Comms Insights Analyst. In this pivotal role, you will help our CEO and C-suite clients at Fortune 500 companies measure and improve their companies’ reputation. You’ll turn our first-of-its-kind Reputation platform—which quantifies the reputation of hundreds of companies—into storytelling and reports that make corporations smarter and decisions easier. Your job is to work alongside our senior analysts to see what’s driving corporate reputation and contextualize the “why” behind the data.

In this role, you’ll access our proprietary scoring engine, uncover the “signal in the noise” to explain those scores, and write insights reports for senior executives. It’s the perfect opportunity for people who love diving into the data, understand the exciting stories to tell, and know how to present them with wit and personality. You’ll operate like a hybrid between a data journalist from FiveThirtyEight and a strategy consultant from McKinsey.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities - What you will be doing?

You’ll work with Senior Analysts to dive into the nitty gritty of our proprietary data platform, generate ideas on opportunities and risks, get smart on complex industries, co-write reports, and deliver executive-level insights for our client pitches. Your core strength really is the ability to identify the signal from the noise to help shape compelling presentations for senior clients, evidenced by robust data.

1. You will turn Signal AI’s proprietary index—scoring hundreds of companies across hundreds of topics that define corporate reputation—into a storytelling platform (see our Signal AI 500 index here)
2. You’ll work alongside our senior analysts to provide them with the data and insights they need to tell compelling stories for communications executives.
3. Above all, you will bring a passion for “a-ha!” moments and a keen sense of translating data into plain English.
4. You’ll work closely with our new business teams to provide and present custom insights in our pitch decks, built to demonstrate the power of our product at a glance.

Requirements

• Passion for diving into the data, interpreting insights and writing recommendations which will be shared in various formats such as blog posts, social posts, video, emails and slides
• We’ll provide you with the most advanced analytics suite to make sense of millions of data points—but you’ve got a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality: you enjoy looking for the data points that tell stories executives don’t already know.

• A keen sense for copywriting to help editoriolise and “TL;DR” your research into business insights to be shared with C-Suite communications leaders.
• An ability to pull stories from lots of data, and answer the editorial ‘so what?’ question behind the observed numbers and patterns, and relate them to the news agenda of the day/week/month
• Excel and data literacy to “slice and dice” the data into your own pivot views
• Understanding of the imperatives of communications professionals (ideally an experience in a comms job at a client or agency)
• The ability to communicate complex insights in a relatable way

Benefits

• Hybrid Working Environment - we have a hybrid remote policy with 2-3 days remote per week, plus Summer & Winter fully remote blocks wherever works for you, including abroad;
• Unlimited holiday entitlement;
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Dependents Leave policies;
• Access to free therapists via Spill
