Information Science Specialist, Weather Analytics, Dover, NH
Posted January 12, 2018
Summary:
The Information Science Specialist will broaden our knowledge of target markets, clients, prospects and competitors – in support of customer services, strategic planning and business development. This entry-level role will provide wide-ranging experiences. The successful candidate will apply research, analysis, organization and task-management skills in a fast-paced, dynamic, and collegial setting.
Candidates should welcome an environment where everyone pitches in to help, ensure fact-based decision-making and operational excellence, and have a proven record of taking initiative. That flexibility can mean presenting in board-room settings on occasion — traveling to New York, DC, Los Angeles, Miami, or Minneapolis – and the next week ordering pasta & pastries for open-house parties, or pricing hotel options for traveling colleagues.

- Translating eye-glazing (to some!) scientific nomenclature into cogent, actionable information
- Occasional, sometimes short-notice travel to visit clients, prospective customers and business partners
- The exciting/dreaded “other duties as assigned”

- Degree in Information or Library Science; graduate-level preferred

- Love of the new, the innovative, and the challenging
