About The Position

Are you ready to help us build critical infrastructure that truly matters? At Aligned, we are driven by the belief that our projects should empower and uplift the communities they call home. As we scale, we are searching for a passionate Market Research Analyst who shares our vision for purpose-driven development. As our Brand Strategy team hones and amplifies our story, this role is at the heart of our data-informed strategy, ensuring that, from our internal growth to our community integrations, we are making the best choices for the markets we serve.
As our Market Research Analyst, you will be the analytical engine behind our impact strategies. Your insights will directly inform how we scale our marketing and communications impact, recruit, and foster deep alignment with the communities we invest in.

Requirements

• Experience in research, data science, market analysis, economics, urban planning, or a related field.
• Strong proficiency with data modeling, forecasting, and reporting tools.
• Familiarity with infrastructure development, energy markets, or land use/zoning, is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Ensure our projects align with local values by analyzing "hearts + minds" reports and synthesizing data from Flypower and Paces reports to gauge regional sentiment.
• Identify areas open to revitalization by analyzing macroeconomic trends, including industrial decline, regional population loss or exodus.
• Use geographic and socioeconomic data to pinpoint areas experiencing "gravity" issues - such as food deserts and the digital divide - so our infrastructure can help bridge gaps and uplift communities.
• Build models to quantify our holistic impact on communities. Estimate job creation numbers (construction, full-time, and ancillary roles), project how tax revenue could be turned into best perceived value, and track total marketing investment across city, county, and state levels and their impact.
• Identify sustainable development opportunities, such as incorporating wetland restoration areas or repurposing struggling agricultural land for higher-use infrastructure.
