Why Applied Economist here is different:

• Leadership that’s present and invested – Report directly to the Director of Strategic Finance with visibility at the executive level, where your marketplace insights directly shape how Steno allocates resources and enters new markets.
• Cross-functional collaboration at its best – Work closely with Finance, Operations, and the Data team to translate complex marketplace analysis into actionable recommendations that move the business forward.
• Data-driven by design – We let the numbers guide our expansion. You’ll work with real marketplace data including cross-side effects and feedback loops, and see your models tested quickly as we scale into new geographies.
• Always ahead of the curve – Build predictive models for markets we haven’t entered yet, using historical data from 20+ existing markets to forecast firm retention, stenographer utilization, and broader marketplace dynamics.
• Build something that matters – This isn’t a “maintain the status quo” role. You’ll architect the analytical foundation for how Steno expands nationally, developing scalable models and leaving a lasting imprint on the company’s growth strategy.

You’ll crush this role if you have 3–5+ years of experience building predictive models in Python or R, with strong foundations in hypothesis testing, causal inference, time-series analysis, and uncertainty quantification. You’ve worked in B2B marketplaces, staffing, or service platforms with two-sided supply-demand dynamics, and you can extract and explore data using SQL. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity, making reasonable assumptions with incomplete data, and translating statistical findings into plain language for non-technical stakeholders in Finance and Operations.
