This is a remote position.
About the RoleWe are looking for a curious, analytical, and highly resourceful Data Research & AI Intelligence Specialist to help us uncover new business opportunities, partnerships, clients, and emerging market trends.

- Leverage AI & Automation: Build efficient AI-powered research, data collection, and lead-generation workflows using tools, APIs, scraping, and automation.
- Turn Data Into Action: Analyze findings, prioritize high-potential opportunities, and present actionable insights and recommendations to leadership.
