Data Associate

About Citylitics Inc.

Citylitics delivers predictive intelligence on local utility & public infrastructure markets.

What is Infrastructure? It is the roadways you rely on to safely get to Grandma’s house, it’s the potable water that comes out of your kitchen tap that you wash your family's food with and it’s the energy that heats our homes and powers our digital lifestyles.

Every year, trillions of dollars are spent on all areas of infrastructure to maintain our quality life and move our economy forward. However, our infrastructure is no longer equipped to meet the needs of the future. We hear about infrastructure failures, whether bridge collapses, power blackouts, or water main breaks, every day in the news. Climate change and extreme weather events are disrupting the basic infrastructure we took for granted for years.

Citylitics is solving the hardest data problems in infrastructure while building the sales intelligence platform that enables a faster, more transparent, and more efficient infrastructure marketplace. We turn millions of unstructured documents into high value intelligence feeds and datasets that are available on an intuitive user experience. Our goal is to enable solution providers to connect with cities with relevant infrastructure needs in a faster and more digital way than historic market channels. As more companies adopt our platform, cities & utilities will be able to access solutions that deliver on the promise of moving towards a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable infrastructure future.

We are looking for a motivated and diligent Data Associate with a strong passion for data and client-focused problem-solving. While responsible for enforcing best practices on data quality, data management, and analysis, your primary focus will be managing the delivery and integrity of data provided to our customers.

Our team is challenged with the task of the extraction, organization and structuring of public documents related to infrastructure across cities in the US and Canada. The data we collect from these public documents are riddled with nuances and complexities, requiring rigorous quality control and validation.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented with a willingness to learn and has the ability to manage their time to meet multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment. They will be able to work independently and collaborate closely with the Product and Customer Success teams. The primary focus of this role will be the cleaning, validation, and successful delivery of customer data products, ensuring timely and accurate uploads and reports.

This position will be hybrid based out of our Toronto office.

What Will You Accomplish?

• Own and manage customer data deliverables, ensuring the successful preparation, validation, and timely delivery of client-specific periodical reports and ongoing data feeds.
• Act as the primary point of contact for data quality on customer accounts, addressing and resolving client-reported data issues and ensuring all delivered data meets agreed-upon volume and quality standards.
• Perform data labelling and validation tasks to ensure training sets and outputs align with project specifications and schemas, directly improving the accuracy of our data intelligence.
• Maintain the quality and integrity of Citylitics’s data. Provide insights into the causes of data issues, remedying data inaccuracies, pointing out anomalies, and building custom data quality reports / dashboards.
• Create and document a repeatable and successful research / data collection process that will be incorporated into our search tools and client-facing platforms, having a significant impact on how intelligence is delivered within the infrastructure industry.
• Maintain our inventory of data sources and complete projects to expand our data universe as defined by our data roadmap.
• Monitor and QA the output of our data pipelines ensuring we are achieving our data coverage, quality, and efficiency metrics.
• Identify and propose ways to streamline and automate our data collection and validation processes.
• Other duties as assigned
