SalaryAt Two Six Technologies, we build, deploy, and implement innovative products that solve the world's most complex challenges today. Through unrivaled collaboration and unwavering trust, we push the boundaries of what's possible to empower our team and support our customers in building a safer global future.
We're looking for someone to join the Media Manipulation Monitor (M3) team as we decipher operations in the information environment (OIE) for discerning US government and Fortune 50 clients. M3 decodes the Chinese government's manipulation of the global information space, and we are looking for an analyst to join our team of China Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to help us curate and analyze signal-rich data to extract actionable insights about Chinese government OIE.
What you'll do
As a China Subject Matter Expert (SME) at M3, you will bring your Mandarin skills, China cultural expertise, knowledge of the regional social media landscape, data analytics techniques, and creative thinking to help solve some of the most important foreign policy questions facing the US Government today.
You'll work with the rest of the M3 SME team to:
- Use our internal data platform and proprietary data science tools to identify trends and anomalous events.
- Work with colleagues to interpret these findings for our clients in short- and long-form analytic reports.
- Work with our data scientists and engineers to develop methods to improve our capacity to turn curated, open-source data collection into actionable insights.
- Maintain, augment, and analyze our current data feeds, involving research of both Mandarin- and English-language content.
- Identify and explore new online data sources in English and Mandarin.
What we're looking for in an China SME candidate
Here are some of the skills and requirements you'll need to dive into the role:
We are especially interested in and will prioritize candidates with experience in both qualitative and quantitative analysis. However, we do not expect our new SME team members to be data scientists. We train all SMEs in quantitative methods and AI/ML tools, and create space for them to hone their ability to work with complex technical systems. If you are a curious and motivated China expert who is not intimidated by big data—we want you to work with us.
- Professional fluency in Mandarin required (level comparable to HSK V, TOCFL 5, or DLPT/ILR 3).
- Experience living, working, and/or studying in China.
- Deep knowledge of Chinese culture, including modern history and society.
- Familiarity with the Chinese social media landscape and language used on these platforms.
- Knowledge of international relations and/or the Asia-Pacific region (China in particular).
- Strong writing skills, especially with crafting concise, data-oriented reports.
- Demonstrated initiative and problem solving skills.
- Great organization, attention to detail, ability to work within and meet deadlines.
- Proficiency in office technology, including Google Drive, Google Docs, Microsoft Office, and video call software.
What you can gain from this job:
- The opportunity to use your China expertise as a core function of your work.
- Experience working on a team of experts on regions around the world.
- Support to improve your analytical writing skills to a higher professional level.
- Latitude to develop data analysis skills even if you don't have deep experience with data science.
- Exposure to helping US Government clients answer complex, high-stakes questions.
