About the company:

The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear – even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers.

KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models—alongside our novel sensors—to guide decisions on KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs. Since our founding in 2018, KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer. Our data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists.

KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. KoBold has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery.

KoBold is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T. Rowe Rice and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, and Standard Investments; and natural resources companies Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi.

About The Role:

In this role, you will develop state of the art instruments to collect data to guide our exploration programs. You will simulate, characterize, and calibrate sensor performance and design new data acquisition systems. Working with vendors and partners, you will build hardware and work with our operations staff to deploy it in the field.

With this sensor data and other data sources at KoBold, you will build models and apply a wide range of scientific computing, statistical, and physics-based methods to find places where there is evidence of ore-forming processes at work and to predict the locations of ore-grade mineralization in 2D and 3D. You will help build a worldwide dataset that underlies our exploration program, with careful attention to identifying and quantifying uncertainty in the data and in our predictions. You will be creating models and developing software to accelerate discovery of critical battery metals.

You will join an outstanding team of data scientists and engineers and will work closely with KoBold’s world-renowned geoscientists to incorporate our best understanding of the chemical and physical processes that create ore deposits. Working with your geoscience colleagues, you will identify new opportunities and technologies for geophysical data collection, create 2D and 3D geologic predictions, identify exploration targets, design field programs to collect data, and use that data to reduce the uncertainty in our predictions and guide the next phase of field work.

Ultimately, your role is to help KoBold make valuable discoveries by building and deploying next generation hardware and using data tools to solve scientific problems. As one of the early members of this team, you will help build these tools from the ground up.

• Lead comparative benchmarking analysis.

• Triangulate qualitative and quantitative findings across data sources; identify operational, technical, policy, content, and capability gaps; and characterize evidence limitations and confidence levels with methodological transparency.

• Draft substantive sections of the Draft and Final Strategic Assessment and Gap Analysis Reports, including current-state, governance, and sustainability assessments; utilization and comparative value findings; benchmarking observations; gap, risk, and maturity analysis; and future-state operating, governance, and funding options.

• Coordinate closely with the Senior Project Director, a supporting Investigator/SME, and network consultant reviewers, and participate in periodic virtual meetings with government personnel and stakeholders.

• Advanced degree (Master’s or higher preferred) in public policy, international relations, human rights, law, economics, social science research, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• Demonstrated subject matter expertise in responsible sourcing, supply chain due diligence, forced labor risk mitigation, and/or anti-trafficking policy, including familiarity with federal anti-trafficking procurement requirements.

• Proven experience leading mixed-methods research or evaluations, including design of sampling strategies, interview and focus group protocols, and survey instruments, and triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data.

• Experience conducting program assessments, evaluations, gap analyses, or strategic reviews for U.S. Government clients or comparable institutional clients.

• Prior experience supporting U.S. Government clients through research.

• Strong analytical writing skills, with demonstrated ability to produce evidence-based reports and actionable recommendations for senior government decision-makers.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and facilitation skills, including experience interviewing government, private sector, and lived experience stakeholders.

• Experience applying trauma-informed and survivor-centered approaches in the overall research approach and when engaging with lived experience expert reviewers and stakeholders.

• Experience with benchmarking or comparative analysis of digital tools or platforms, including governance, sustainability, and funding model assessment.

• Strong experience using AI tools for data analysis.

• Ability to work independently in a remote environment and manage competing deadlines across a phased workplan.

Compensation is offered according to job requirements, market dynamics, and experience/skills of the successful candidate. Contract and consultant roles are not eligible for benefits.

We are an equal opportunity employer offering employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, gender identity or expression, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.

Due to the high volume of applications McColm receives and to ensure we comply with our internal hiring policies, we regret we are not able to respond to individual phone calls or emails regarding submission status.

• LIFE SCIENCE  EXPERTS:  DeciBio’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of precision medicine.  Our core Strategy Consulting work advises leading companies across life sciences through their complex strategic and commercial questions.  Our Data Intelligence divisions develop novel software and other sources of market intelligence, and our Venture Capital division is a stakeholder supporting emerging technologies.
• PROJECTS:  Our projects span a range of markets, including but not limited to:
  • Life Science Research Tools: Genomics/NGS, proteomics, cellomics
  • Diagnostics: Oncology (e,g., liquid biopsies) and non-oncology (e.g., infectious diseases, rare diseases, NIPT) diagnositc assays and services

• CLIENTS:  Our clients range from start-ups to Fortune 500 firms and projects may have global scope though we do most of our work from our offices in Los Angeles, New York City, the Bay, and London
• FARM TEAM SYSTEM:  Team members gain early and rapid access to growth opportunities and can proactively “write their own story” in our “intrapreneurial” environment

See our profile on Vault.com (which ranks us in their top Consulting 50 and #1 in Innovation), our website (decibio.com), and IG @ deci.bio.

The opportunity

Our consulting teams rely heavily on primary research, including interviews with scientists, clinicians, industry executives, commercial leaders, and other subject-matter experts.   They also leverage our proprietary data sets, market reports, and expert network (run by Dexter, our SaaS subsidiary).

Thus, we are seeking a Research Specialist to help us consistently identify and engage the right experts for our primary research conversations.  The Research Specialist will own much of the process for recruiting subject-matter experts for DeciBio’s consulting engagements and proprietary research.  Working across multiple projects at once, you will translate research needs into clear expert profiles, identify relevant candidates, conduct persistent and professional outreach, assess candidates’ fit, and coordinate one-hour interviews between experts and our consulting teams:

• Understanding each project’s research objectives, expert criteria, timing, and priorities to develop and continuously refine specific target profiles and search strategies, while regularly seeking feedback from the project teams.
• Searching and leveraging DeciBio’s existing expert network, professional databases, company websites, publications, conference materials, LinkedIn, and other public sources to identify relevant candidates.
• Conduct proactive outreach via email, phone, LinkedIn, or other appropriate channels – while clearly and persuasively communicating the value proposition
• Screening candidates for applicable experience, relevance, availability, communication skills, and suitability for a specific project.
• Continuing to build and engage our network of contacts and support the development of Dexter’s network.   Developing positive, long-term relationships with experts who may be relevant for future engagements.
• Successfully coordinating interviews ensuring successful completion and follow-through (incl. Payment), communicating all details and reminders across time zones, quickly and professionally resolving logistical conflicts, meeting tight project deadlines, and ultimately ensuring interview quotas are timely filled with applicable interviewees.
• Supporting project administrative aspects, as needed.
• Identifying sourcing pools, and proactively building expert benches in strategically important life-sciences markets.  Develop reusable and automated search strategies, outreach templates, screening questions, and operating procedures.
• Maintain quality, compliance, and accurate records.  Capture and leverage feedback.
• Track and improve accountability for core KPIs.  Overall success will reflect volume, efficiency, and quality/relevance.  E.g., interview completion counts and rates, conversion velocity, quality and satisfaction, outreach responsiveness and conversion rates, accuracy, compliance, network growth and quality, etc.

This unique role provides an opportunity to engage with and support stakeholders across DeciBio’s departments.

The role combines research, recruiting, relationship-building, project coordination, and elements of sales. It is not a consulting analyst position, although it provides significant exposure to life-sciences markets, strategic questions, and senior industry professionals.

Over time, the role may expand into broader Knowledge Center responsibilities, including:  training and/or managing future research specialists, more complex important sourcing engagements, expert-network development initiatives, supporting DeciBio’s internal and proprietary Intelligence Portal, AI-enabled research, special research projects, business-development support, knowledge management, and eventually the management of additional research-support resources.  The right employee could also grow to help identify and coordinate qualified business development conversations.

Requirements

• Undergraduate degree or equivalent.
• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the jurisdiction(s) hired for, for the entire duration of their employment.
• Success in this role requires operational efficiency and rigor, interpersonal finesse, written communication skills, superior organization while managing multiple workstreams and many moving pieces, exceptional attention to detail, an ability to quickly learn unfamiliar topics, intellectual curiosity, unrelenting professionalism, social confidence (including while conducting cold outreach with senior professionals by phone and email), resilience and persistence, adaptability, an ability to work independently while communicating proactively, high responsiveness in a fast-paced work environment, exemplary ambassadorship of the DeciBio brand, a positive and service-oriented attitude with a strong sense of ownership, good judgment, and a drive to exceed measurable goals on a regular basis.
• Preferred but not required:
  • Academic background or demonstrated interest in biology, healthcare, life sciences, or a related field.
  • Internship or early experience in recruiting, sales development, market research, consulting, customer success, or an expert-network business.
  • Familiarity with life-sciences companies, clinical markets, research tools, diagnostics, or biopharma.
  • Experience conducting online research or using professional networking and CRM platforms.
  • Experience in a role involving high-volume outreach, scheduling, or external relationship management.

Compensation

In addition to base salary, DeciBio offers performance-based incentives, year-end company-wide profit sharing, and comprehensive employee benefits.

The incentive component may reflect successful completion of qualified expert interviews, sourcing quality, responsiveness, accuracy, and broader team contribution. Specific compensation will depend on location and experience.

Location:

We have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Gurgaon. This position will be based in the United States and can work remotely.

About the role:

TMB is looking for a Director of Data Science & AI to lead the team and efforts to turn data into decisions, deliver scalable intelligence that drives personalized experiences and business outcomes, and lean into AI and Automation where it makes sense. You understand how business users think, what friction looks like in real workflows, and how to communicate technical solutions in ways that land with non-technical users.

Your primary mission is to bridge the gap between what’s technically possible and what’s practically useful. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll set the technical direction, but you’ll also be in the data, in the model reviews, and building alongside your team when it counts.  We need someone fluent in Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Vertex AI, and broader GCP ecosystem), has strong data science capabilities and the grit to take ideas from research to production.

You are a fast learner who is comfortable in ambiguity, energized by solutioning, and motivated by seeing your work drive real adoption across the organization. You’ll spend your time championing smarter ways of working and helping both technical and non-technical teammates integrate AI into their everyday work, not as a disruption, but as a natural extension of how they already operate.

Your day-day: (aka Responsibilities)

• Own the data science roadmap for the organization from core statistical modeling and experimentation forecasting, segmentation and applied AI where it adds real business value
• Lead, mentor, and stay hands-on with a small team of data scientists: writing code and reviewing methodology, not just roadmaps
• Oversee the design of robust, production-grade solutions utilizing core cloud systems, vector databases, and agentic workflows
• Champion the adoption and continuous improvement of AI development tools across technical teams
• Scale MLOps/LLMOPs practices, ensuring data observability, governance, model safety, and ethical AI compliance
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Business Intelligence, Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Development, and Product teams to drive technical innovation, prioritize initiatives, ship MVPs fast and iterate based on usage data
• Design and run rigorous experiments to validate hypotheses and guide business decisions
• Translate statistical and technical work into business language for executive stakeholders and make the case for where data science investment should go next
• Define success metrics for internal tools and AI initiatives, and track adoption, usage, and business impact over time
• Document tools, workflows, and best practices to scale impact beyond individual engagements
• Stay informed on industry trends, viral content, and emerging platforms to identify new opportunities

You have: (aka Qualifications)

• 7+ years in data science, including leading or managing a technical team
• Strong foundation in core data science
• Deep, hands-on fluency in Google Cloud Platform: BigQuery, Vertex AI, and building/deploying production models in a GCP environment
• Proficiency deploying custom Gemini Enterprise Agents via Agent Engine
• Fluency in AI tools such as Claude, CoPilot and ChatGPT
• Strong Python and SQL skills and experience in applied AI
• A bias for action

About this team:

The Data Science team is a small but mighty group sitting at the center of the organization. We’re a centralized team, which means we work across nearly every department: from Marketing and Creative to BI, Engineering, Product, and beyond. If there’s a workflow to improve, a tool to build, or a data problem worth solving, chances are we’re involved.

Our work is practical by design. We build internal tools and data products that make real work easier, not to chase trends, but because the right solution at the right moment can meaningfully change how an entire team operates. We use AI where it genuinely helps, and we’re skeptical of hype for its own sake. That pragmatic instinct is part of what makes us effective.

As a team, we move fast and stay scrappy. We’re not a big org with lengthy approval chains. We prototype, iterate, and ship. We collaborate constantly, both within the team and across the business, and we’re at our best when we’re working alongside stakeholders to understand their problems firsthand rather than solving in a vacuum.

If you’re joining us, you’re joining a team that values curiosity, initiative, and craft. Our team genuinely believes the most impactful data work happens when technical depth meets real business context.

Growth Strategist

About the Role

We are looking for an exceptional Growth Strategist to join our Growth team. This is one of the most senior strategic roles within FINN Partners and is suited to an experienced agency strategist with deep research expertise and the judgment to turn findings into clear, actionable strategy. Research is the foundation of this role, and it exists to drive decisions. This person will move fluidly across primary and secondary research, digital and social listening, and AI-enabled methods, using whichever combination best answers the question at hand, and will translate what they learn into insight that reframes how clients see their business, audience, market, or competition. From there, they will make clear strategic recommendations, working closely with specialists across the agency to ensure those recommendations are realistic and implementable.

While the role sits within the Growth team and plays a critical part in winning new business, it extends beyond RFPs and pitches. This person will also provide strategic and research leadership on existing client accounts, including engagements they were not involved in winning.

The role requires intellectual curiosity, strong research capability, commercial judgment, and the confidence to make clear recommendations often with limited information and tight deadlines.

Responsibilities

Research & Insight

• Lead the design and execution of research across methodologies choosing the right mix for the question, timeline, and budget at hand.
• Shape research methodology around the business question and the strategic decisions the client needs to make.
• Move quickly and resourcefully in new business contexts without compromising the credibility of the findings.
• Develop surveys, questionnaires, sampling approaches, and analytical frameworks when primary research is warranted.
• Personally conduct executive stakeholder interviews, customer interviews, and other in-depth qualitative research.
• Analyze findings alongside market, audience, competitor, and performance data.
• Translate findings into insight that drives a decision: what the evidence says, why it matters, and what the client or FINN should do next.
• Work effectively with specialist researchers, analysts, and external vendors while maintaining strategic ownership of the engagement.
• Develop segmentation models, personas, journeys, and messaging frameworks that can be used and defended in front of senior leadership.
• Maintain a working knowledge of evolving industry landscapes, methodologies, and cultural trends so recommendations stay current.

Strategy & Growth

• Lead the strategic development of new business opportunities and RFP responses, using research to identify the central business challenge and build the case for why FINN is the right partner.
• Develop insight-led strategies that differentiate FINN’s proposals and create competitive advantage.
• Translate research and strategy into practical recommendations that client and agency teams can implement.
• Collaborate with creative, digital, PR, media, and account teams to ensure recommendations are realistic and well-supported.
• Present strategic recommendations to prospective clients and senior FINN leadership.
• Build measurement frameworks and KPIs aligned with client objectives.
• Remain engaged following successful pitches to preserve continuity and support implementation.
• Manage multiple opportunities and engagements simultaneously, balancing competing priorities and deadlines.

Client Leadership

• Serve as a trusted research and strategy adviser to senior clients.
• Provide strategic leadership on existing client accounts, including those where you were not involved in the original pitch.
• Quickly get up to speed on unfamiliar businesses, industries, and operating environments.
• Communicate complex findings and recommendations clearly and confidently, earning stakeholder buy-in through the credibility and rigor of the work rather than force of personality.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing client relationships through additional research or strategic consulting.

Skills & Experience

The successful candidate will have:

• Minimum 15 years of strategic experience, with the majority gained in an agency or consulting environment.
• Significant experience designing and leading research across a range of methodologies.
• Strong judgment about data quality and rigor, balanced with the scrappiness to move fast when new business timelines demand it.
• Strong knowledge of survey design, sampling, research methodology, analysis, and insight development.
• Experience personally conducting executive, stakeholder, and customer interviews.
• Proven track record leading strategy for complex pitches, RFPs, and new business opportunities.
• Ability to synthesize large volumes of information into a clear strategic point of view.
• Excellent strategic storytelling, presentation, and facilitation skills, grounded in command of the evidence and the ability to defend a recommendation under scrutiny.
• A track record of earning the confidence of senior stakeholders through the quality and credibility of their work.
• A strong point of view on where marketing, media, and culture are heading.
• Strong commercial acumen and the ability to connect research and strategy to measurable business outcomes.
• Comfort working with ambiguity, limited information, and evolving client requirements.

Personal Attributes

The ideal candidate will be:

• Intellectually curious and insight driven.
• Methodologically flexible and resourceful, with good instincts for when data is solid enough to act on.
• Decisive, with the judgment to make a clear recommendation rather than present a list of options.
• Commercially minded and focused on business outcomes.
• Confident and credible in the room, earning trust through command of the work rather than salesmanship.
• Structured and analytical, without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and incomplete information.
• Proactive and self-directed.
• Passionate about solving complex business and growth challenges.

Success in This Role

Success will be measured by the ability to:

• Win new business through differentiated, research-backed strategic thinking.
• Lead credible research that uncovers meaningful business and audience opportunities.
• Translate research into decisions clients act on and business FINN wins.
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
• Grow existing client relationships through valuable strategic consulting.
• Create measurable business impact for FINN and its clients.

• Fortune Best Workplaces NY (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024)

About the Role:

Maven is building a new direct-to-consumer business, and we’re making decisions every week that should be informed by real user insight: how women think about GLP-1 care, what makes a virtual clinic feel trustworthy, where our funnel loses people and why. We are looking for a part-time user researcher to own research end to end for our consumer team.

This is a hands-on contract role for someone who can operate independently: you’ll scope studies with product and design, recruit participants, run the research - either in-house or using a third party platform, and bring back insights the team actually uses. You’ll also help us level up, shaping our tooling and research process as the team grows.

This is a part-time contract engagement of approximately 10-20 hours per week, for an initial 6-month term with intent to extend or expand for the right person. The role is fully remote and open to candidates anywhere in the US.

What You’ll Do:

• Partner with product and design to identify the questions worth answering and scope research that answers them
• Own the full study lifecycle: research plans, participant recruiting, moderation, analysis, and synthesis
• Run both qualitative and quantitative work, from user interviews and usability sessions to surveys, choosing the right method for each question
• Share insights in ways that travel: crisp readouts to the working team and digestible takeaways for the broader org
• Help define our research tooling and process, recommending what we should adopt, drop, or change

What You’ll Bring:

• 5+ years of user research experience, including consumer products
• True mixed-methods range: you’ve designed and fielded surveys with sound methodology and you’re a skilled interviewer and moderator; you’re familiar with AI-augmented methods and tools.
• A track record of running research end to end with minimal oversight, ideally as a contractor, consultant, or solo researcher
• Strong synthesis and communication: you turn messy data into clear, decision-ready insights
• Comfort in a fast-moving environment where research has to keep pace with weekly ship cycles
• Experience in healthcare, tele-health, or another trust-sensitive consumer space is a plus
• Experience researching subscription products or conversion funnels is a plus
• Experience standing up research practices or tooling at an early-stage team is a plus

The hourly rate for this role is $90 - $120 per hour. Individual pay decisions are based on qualifications, experience, and skillset. This is a 1099 contract position and is not eligible for Maven employee benefits.

This role requires active work authorization in the US.

Maven embraces a flexible and inclusive work environment.

Maven is committed to supporting remote team members with the tools and collaborative culture needed to thrive regardless of location. This policy reflects our belief that great work can happen anywhere and that flexibility enables our team to do their best work.

At Maven we believe that a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences enrich our teams and allow us to achieve above and beyond our goals. If you do not have experience in all of the areas detailed above, we hope that you will share your unique background with us in your application and how it can be additive to our teams.
