Data Partnerships Associate

Everything happens somewhere - which is why spatial analytics is fundamental to companies seeking to understand the “where” and the “why” of their business. CARTO is the leading cloud-native location intelligence platform, trusted by data scientists, data analysts and developers from companies such as Vodafone, IKEA, Decathlon, Coca-Cola and Mastercard to provide geospatial insights for use cases such as site selection, geomarketing, route optimization, network planning and much more.
With an exceptionally diverse team of 170 people spread across the US and Europe, CARTO (backed by Insight Partners, Accel Partners and Salesforce Ventures) is changing how companies analyze location data, simplifying how it is done by leveraging modern cloud data warehouses. Redefining its category, the company has grown rapidly in recent years providing a compelling alternative to legacy GIS software.
Data is more important than ever and the information distilled from it is crucial to make meaningful decisions. For this reason, our geospatial analytics platform is complemented by an extensive catalog of spatial data products from vetted premium and public sources such as Vodafone, Experian, TomTom, etc. Our Data Observatory (our data marketplace) allows CARTO users to enrich their data with the different 3rd party data sources acquired on a subscription basis, generating  more powerful insights to solve their geospatial use cases.
