Narrative seeks a Director-level senior analyst to join our Competitive Intelligence Division, leading and advancing the firm’s landscape monitoring (i.e., media, policy, political, and market developments) and rapid-response capabilities across our client roster. This role owns the standards, operating model, and analytical quality of monitoring products firmwide, ensuring consistency, rigor, and reliability in both day-to-day and high-stakes environments. The Director serves as a senior analytical partner to Client Services teams, helping identify priority signals, interpret fast-moving developments, and translate complex information into clear, actionable counsel for clients. They play a central role during war room situations, leading real-time monitoring and analysis when speed, judgment, and precision matter most. In addition, the Director is responsible for stewarding and evolving Narrative’s competitive intelligence technology stack—maximizing the value of existing tools while identifying opportunities to improve insight quality, speed, and operational efficiency. This role works cross-functionally with Creative, Insights, and Business Development teams to ensure monitoring outputs meaningfully inform storytelling, strategy, and growth.
