Senior Analyst, Economic Research and Special Projects

Ramp Economics Lab Data Scientist Ramp Economics Lab is the go-to source for understanding how businesses spend on and adopt AI. Built on Ramp's $200B+ business spend dataset, our flagship Ramp AI Index tracks the AI economy through actual business spend data. You will work with Ara Kharazian, lead economist. We're hiring an economics-minded data scientist to own and expand this work: own Ramp AI Index, add new metrics tracking token spend and ROI of AI, extend our research internationally, and publish rigorous but accessible analysis for policymakers, researchers, businesses, the press, and the public. You'll also build a new customer-facing economics function from the ground up: developing Ramp's economic outlook, meeting with customers and prospects, presenting to CFOs and finance teams, and translating our data into practical recommendations for business planning, budgeting, and AI strategy. This role combines economic judgment, applied data science, public writing, data visualization, and executive communication. You should be able to move from an important question to credible analysis, a clear visual or argument, and advice a business leader can act on.

You will meet with customers and prospects and present data. It's very important you don't come off as dry or overly academic
