This profile is part of the Digital Talent Speed ​​Dating Networking Space that will take place on November 18th and 19th. Come and network with companies that want to meet professionals like you.

What? We are a consulting firm which provides strategic decision makers of the public or non- profit sector with insights, processes and tools which challenge them to think and enable them to accomplish their mission better. Our services can take many forms: a strategic or analytical report, a business intelligence exploratory or monitoring tool, a participatory workshop or a coaching session, the moderation of a discussion, a political recommendation, etc. But if the form varies, the core is always the same: what matters to us is to help leaders make better, more informed and more accountable decisions for the benefit of the citizens.

How? We approach problems as researchers would: questioning systematically, proposing models, looking for evidence. We never defend a position with which we do not agree. We provide decision-makers with the tools and arguments to take decisions but we also understand that their job involves political compromises and that the ideal decision is not always either possible or optimal.

Who? Born from research, our team of almost 30 people is made of a colorful mix, with specialities ranging from archaeology to physics, and philosophy to biology. Together, we represent 7 nationalities and speak many languages. Our team is held together by a strong ethical vision, based on the respect of the contribution of everyone, the belief in collective wisdom, and a deep curiosity.

Where? Based in Barcelona, we work mostly in Europe, with a strong base in Spain, France and Italy, and activities in the UK and Germany.

With whom? Our clients are leaders and managers in regional governments, ministries, universities and research organizations, not-for-profit foundations, etc.

In which sectors? Currently, most of our activity focuses on the sectors of higher education and science & innovation policy.

And…. why? Deep down, we want to make the world a better place by improving public policies. We are strong believers in the power of science-based evidence, participative approaches and accountability processes to improve the way public policies are designed and decisions taken, day after day.

In this position you will work full-time, designing and developing data-driven solutions for informing public policies and social actions.

You will learn from working in close contact with international software engineers, data scientists and experts of public policies and social impact.

You will become a member of a strong interdisciplinary and international context and you will be exposed to a groundbreaking research and innovation environment.

This position will offer you an opportunity to be involved in several projects and work in our international, multidisciplinary team in Barcelona.

You will work in data analytics and visualization projects, so you will improve your ability to extract data from structured (relational and non-relational databases, APIs) and unstructured (mainly, textual records) sources, manipulate data, build indicators and design compelling visualisations. You will be refining your skills in Natural Language Processing and you will be using Machine Learning techniques to detect patterns, classify records and perform cluster analyses.
