Cape Town, South Africa Black Swan Data, Inc. Full time

**We are Black Swan Data**

In a turbulent and fast-changing marketplace, the old world of traditional consumer research is no longer enough. Where there was slow and pre-emptive questionnaires and surveys, now there's big data, machine learning and predictive analytics. For some, it's unknown territory. For Black Swan Data, it's unprecedented possibilities.

Black Swan Data is on a mission to revolutionise Insights & Innovation through the power of Social Prediction. Using sophisticated data science and AI techniques, we unlock social data's potential to understand, connect and predict consumer behaviour more accurately and further ahead than before.

We're fast movers. Since 2011, we've spread our wings across the UK, Hungary, USA and South Africa. Today our team of around 150 Swans (and counting) includes data scientists, developers, insights consultants, analysts, designers, engineers and marketeers.

But first, we're entrepreneurs and champions of change who thrive on moving fast and breaking new ground. In 2015 we were awarded the Sunday Times #1 Fastest Growing Start-Up. In 2016 we were named the UK's Fastest Growing Exporter. And in both 2017 and 2018 we ranked high in the Financial Times 1000 Europe's Fastest Growing Companies. Since, we've been recognised by Deloitte Fast 50 and the London Stock Exchange for our cutting-edge technology and innovative approach.

Now is a great opportunity to join our rapidly growing data and technology SaaS business which is led by an experienced and inspiring management team. We're passionate about what we do and committed to disrupt and drive industry change, so if you're an enthusiastic team player and go-getter we want to hear from you.
