Research and analytics hiring is a sign that a company wants to make more decisions from data: building a BI function, adding analysts to a growing team, or starting research it used to buy in. That creates demand for analytics platforms, data infrastructure, research tools, third-party data and data talent.

FAQ
What does a research and analytics hiring surge mean?
Lusha fires the signal when a company posts research and analytics roles well above its own usual rate. It points to investment in data-driven decisions: a new BI function, a larger analytics team, or research brought in-house.
How recent is the hiring activity?
This dataset covers research and analytics hiring detected during the previous six months. Lusha measures hiring weekly, so results update as new signals arrive.
What company sizes are included?
U.S.-headquartered companies in Lusha’s 51–200 and 201–500 employee bands.
Is this the same as engineering hiring?
No. Lusha tracks Research & Analytics separately from Engineering & Technical. Data engineers usually sit under engineering; analysts, data scientists and researchers sit here. For engineering, see the engineering dataset.
Which roles can I find at these companies?
Depending on what you sell:
- Chief Data Officer
- Head of Data
- VP of Analytics
- Director of Business Intelligence
- Head of Data Science
- Director of Research
- Head of Insights
- Analytics Manager
Can I identify companies hiring other departments?
Yes. Lusha tracks hiring surges for 16 departments, including engineering, IT, product, marketing and finance.
Does a hiring surge mean the company is buying?
Not on its own. It is a timing signal. Combine it with technologies, IT spend and the right decision maker to decide who to contact first.
Can I see which data tools these companies already use?
Yes. Add a technologies filter to find companies on, or missing, a specific BI or data platform.
Is this data GDPR and CCPA compliant?
Lusha’s GDPR compliance is certified by ePrivacyseal and its CCPA compliance is validated by TrustArc. Details are on the Trust Center.
