Data Curator

**Salary: £22.5k + benefits - Start Date: ASAP**

Have you ever wondered how some of the most ambitious and successful companies in the UK (think Deliveroo & Monzo) grow so rapidly? We’re looking for bright and inquisitive people to help us shine a light on these companies.

This entry level role is perfect for anyone who loves learning new things and often finds them falling into online rabbit holes (fans of “The Wikipedia Game”, we’re looking for you). Come & join our close-knit team (check out our Glassdoor to see just how great our culture is) and help us with our deep dive into online research

**The role**

We’re a market leading tech company that provides data on the fastest growing companies in the UK. (think Monzo and Babylon). Our Data team is vital in ensuring our data is of excellent quality. We’re on a mission to track companies that we don’t track (but should), add even more data points on these companies & a whole range of other important projects (ask us about them). To keep up with all of this growth, we need more lovely faces to join our Data team.

Day to day, your responsibilities will be to:

- **Fact find & research**: go on a mission to find what services these companies provide, the products they sell, and who their clients are using company websites, press releases and the public record

- **Classify**: put these companies into the right “box” by working out which of our 500 proprietary sectors they operate in (including AI, Augmented reality, Fintech, 3D printing & much more)

**Don’t worry **We don’t expect you to be an expert on day one. You’ll receive about two-months of thorough training, helping you to understand, create and refine company data.

While the role doesn’t involve dataset manipulation, cleaning or analysis, you’ll get to learn loads about the most innovative start-ups, top performing established companies and the ecosystem that supports such an integral part of the UK’s economy. The data you create will be used by government bodies, investors and anyone interested in helping the most ambitious companies grow, recruit and innovate.
