• Work with teams across Factal to collect, assess, and implement requested sources of information

• Organized, diligent, and comfortable with switching tasks
• Strong attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills
• Experience in social media management a plus
• Experience in data visualization a plus
• Successful applicants will be as focused on the why as on the what and how of a problem
