By identifying adversarial online messaging, understanding its audience, and providing crucial context such as source credibility, we empower our customers to effectively respond to digital threats.

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.
