You will work directly with Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries. Strong organizational skills are essential to keep your numerous monthly and quarterly data programs running simultaneously and on track.

At the top of the organization is the CEO, and the managing directors for each department.

Additionally, each employee is matched with a supervisor upon being hired. Their supervisor is their go-to for any general questions and career guidance.
