About the Role

PeakMetrics is seeking a Commercial Insights Analyst to deliver actionable intelligence from large-scale social and digital media data using the PeakMetrics platform for commercial customers. This role sits at the intersection of analytics, narrative judgment, and customer-facing insight delivery. This is not a business analyst, product analytics, revenue analytics, or customer success role. The focus is intelligence production within the PeakMetrics platform - building analytical workspaces, constructing Boolean queries, and synthesizing social and media data into decision-ready insights. You will operate with a high degree of analytical ownership, curiosity, and judgment in a fast-moving environment where signal clarity and narrative context matter more than raw volume. The scope and complexity of the work will grow as you develop expertise with the platform and customer use cases. What You’ll Do

• Build, manage, and refine customer-specific analytical workspaces within the PeakMetrics platform
• Construct, test, and iterate on Boolean queries in the PeakMetrics platform to capture relevant narratives
• Analyze social and digital media data surfaced by the platform to identify key narratives, trends, and amplification patterns
• Translate platform outputs into clear, prioritized insights for non-technical audiences
• Produce structured reports, briefs, presentations and visual storytelling artifacts based on PeakMetrics analysis
• Partner with Customer Success and Commercial teams to ensure insights align with customer goals
• Ask thoughtful questions to refine analysis and improve signal quality within the platform
• Explore data hands-on when needed, including lightweight manual analysis, to validate patterns and sharpen insight
• Continuously improve reporting clarity, relevance, and actionability through iteration

Who We’re Looking For We’re open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds, especially those with experience or interest in intelligence-style analysis.

Relevant Experience Includes:

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with social listening, media monitoring, or intelligence platforms

• Comfort experimenting with new analytical approaches or workflows
• Familiarity with common analytics or visualization tools (e.g., spreadsheets, dashboards, presentation tools)

What Success Looks Like
