About the Role

We are looking for a curious, analytical, and highly resourceful Data Research & AI Intelligence Specialist to help us uncover new business opportunities, partnerships, clients, and emerging market trends.

This role sits at the intersection of AI-powered research, business intelligence, lead generation, market analysis, and data intelligence. You will use modern AI tools, web research, scraping, automation, and data analysis techniques to identify organizations and individuals that could become valuable clients, partners, sponsors, or collaborators.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys going down research rabbit holes, connecting seemingly unrelated pieces of information, discovering opportunities before others do, and turning large amounts of unstructured information into clear, actionable intelligence.

You will work closely with leadership to identify who we should approach, why we should approach them, what opportunity exists, and how we can turn that opportunity into a meaningful business relationship.

What You'll Do​
  • Discover Opportunities: Use AI tools, web research, and scraping to identify potential clients, partners, sponsors, investors, and collaborators.
  • Conduct Market Research: Research industries, competitors, trends, events, and emerging opportunities across hospitality, beverage, culture, events, retreats, media, and related sectors.
  • Build Intelligence Databases: Collect, verify, enrich, and organize companies, contacts, projects, and opportunities into structured databases.
  • Leverage AI & Automation: Build efficient AI-powered research, data collection, and lead-generation workflows using tools, APIs, scraping, and automation.
  • Turn Data Into Action: Analyze findings, prioritize high-potential opportunities, and present actionable insights and recommendations to leadership.





Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in market research, business intelligence, lead generation, data research, growth, business development, data analysis, or a related field.
  • Strong curiosity and an investigative mindset — you genuinely enjoy finding information that others may overlook.
  • Strong understanding of AI tools and their practical applications in research and business intelligence.
  • Hands-on experience with web research, data extraction, web scraping, or automated research workflows.
  • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills.
  • Ability to work with large amounts of unstructured information and turn it into organized, useful intelligence.
  • Strong attention to detail and data accuracy.
  • Ability to identify patterns, connections, and commercial opportunities.
  • Strong organizational skills and experience working with spreadsheets, databases, CRM systems, Airtable, Notion, or similar tools.
  • Ability to independently research unfamiliar industries and quickly understand how they work.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to work with ambiguity.
  • Comfortable working independently, taking initiative, and figuring things out without needing step-by-step instructions.
