What Chainalysis is looking for in applicants

Vibrant storytellers and Chainalysis evangelists, our Marketing team leverages cutting-edge research, real customer success stories and the infinite possibilities in-between to drive expansion around the world. We need a creative and data-focused research lead to help us educate the world on how cryptocurrency usage differs by region. We regularly put out the statistic that 1% of all cryptocurrency activity is illicit, but what about the other 99%? We know the answer to this involves region and country specific analysis and insight.

The Economist has in-depth experience conducting research projects. They feel most at home when they’re hands-on exploring data related to trends in regional economic activity and translating findings into information that excites and engages their audience. Success is working collaboratively with our sales and marketing team to produce compelling research that attracts new audiences to Chainalysis, engages prospects and educates our customers.

  • You will attend conferences around the world and customer events to present research.
  • You own the creation of customer-facing material based upon original research.
  • You have become an expert in the cryptocurrency market, with a particular focus on what drives cryptocurrency activity in different regional markets.
