At Govini, the Content Analyst position is responsible for managing the quality, consistency, and accuracy of our data.

You take direction when necessary and deliver results. You don’t hesitate to identify problems and take the lead on finding the answers. You are a self-starter who leads by example.

You are independent, driven and motivated to jump in and roll up your sleeves to get the job done. You lead by influence and motivation. You have a passion for great work and nothing less than your best will do. You share our intolerance of mediocrity. You’re uber-smart, challenged by figuring things out and producing simple solutions to complex problems. Knowing there are always multiple answers to a problem, you know how to engage in a constructive dialogue to find the best path forward. You’re scrappy. We like scrappy.
