The Research Analyst will have the unique opportunity to support a wide variety of projects for the Research team, across both the Headspace app and Ginger platform.

This will entail coordinating with Data Science and Engineering teams to understand the variety of data sources at our disposal and synthesizing relevant data sources into a centralized data repository for research purposes. This will require creative solutions and systems-thinking, experience with SQL.
• Assist in drafting project proposals, plans, summaries, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Draft study related documentation including protocols, analysis plans, and manuscripts.
