Senior Analyst, Research & AI Innovation
Gravity Research, Washington, District of Columbia, us, 20022
Overview
Gravity Research is seeking a
Senior Analyst, Research & AI Innovation
to join our team. This is a hybrid role: you will contribute directly to client-facing research projects as an analyst, while helping design and apply AI/automation solutions that make our work faster, smarter, and more impactful. As an analyst on our research team, you’ll produce high-quality insights for corporate, nonprofit, and association clients on issues at the intersection of business, policy, and society. You’ll also experiment with emerging AI tools—building custom GPTs, streamlining data flows, and automating research workflows—to enhance the quality and efficiency of our deliverables. This role is ideal for an early-career research professional who is curious, analytical, and excited to combine their research skills with technical experimentation. What You’ll Do
Conduct client-facing research on societal, reputational, and policy issues, producing written deliverables and insights. Build and customize generative AI applications (e.g., custom GPTs) to support research and client deliverables. Design and test automations that connect data sources, streamline workflows, and improve efficiency across projects. Apply generative AI and NLP techniques to summarize, synthesize, and analyze media, policy, and stakeholder content. Prototype and implement AI-driven improvements to research processes in collaboration with colleagues. Maintain and share knowledge of emerging AI/automation tools and recommend adoption where relevant. Stay up-to-date on major developments in AI and bring forward ideas for experimentation. Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is a researcher first, with the technical curiosity and ability to build and experiment with AI/automation tools. You don’t need to be a software engineer. You do need to be resourceful, adaptable, and excited to apply AI in creative, practical ways in a research setting. Minimum Qualifications
1–3 years of professional experience in research, consulting, public affairs, or related environments (internships and academic experience considered). Hands-on experience with generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), interest or exposure to building custom workflows for research outputs (e.g., custom GPTs, APIs, Python scripts, or open-source automation tools). Experience using automation or data analysis in a research setting. Strong analytical and writing skills, with the ability to synthesize large volumes of content into clear insights. Organized, detail-oriented, and proactive about testing and implementing new tools. Bachelor’s degree required. Prolific work ethic and spirit of generosity. Preferred
Exposure to Python or other coding languages. Exposure to text analysis, natural language processing (NLP), or data visualization tools. Experience with designing or improving research workflows with technology (even in academic or internship settings). Employment Type
Full-time Compensation
The salary range for this role is $70,000-$75,000 Location
This job is based in Washington, DC. Gravity Research operates on a hybrid schedule, with employees required to be in the office every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. About Us
Across Gravity Research, the firm looks for three “pillar gifts” in you. While aspirational, they guide our intentions: Force of Ideas:
The ideas within our work, with rigor, insight, and intellectual honesty to separate the good from the bad and give voice to the latter. Spirit of Generosity:
A spirit of generosity in service and collaboration, with a writing style that is critical on the merits but charitable in motive. Radical Responsibility:
Early ownership, accountability, and a commitment to excellence and success. Gravity Research is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
