About The Role: We're looking for a Product Development Associate to join our New Product Development (NPD) team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with data, solving open-ended problems, and evaluating new datasets and product opportunities. As a Product Development Associate, you'll play a key role in assessing third-party datasets, supporting new product development efforts, and helping identify opportunities that create value for our clients and business. You'll work closely with engineering, partnerships, and business stakeholders to drive projects from idea through evaluation and recommendation. While a highly independent individual contributor role that offers significant autonomy, you will have access to all the support and collaboration needed to drive your work forward.
