Our mission is to empower organizations to anticipate risk, spot opportunities, and rationalize reputational concerns against a backdrop of evolving public pressures. Background We are looking for curious and innovative researchers and consultants interested in helping communications and corporate affairs leaders smartly navigate AI’s transformation of their function. The Role Senior AI Transformation Analysts are responsible for contributing to all aspects of Gravity’s new AI advisory practice. Analysts help communications and corporate affairs leaders move their teams from early experimentation to mature AI adoption.

We believe that ideas—the good and not—have consequences. Our ultimate objective is to bring rigor, insight, and intellectual honesty to the goal of separating the bad from the good, and giving voice, argument, and flight to maintaining the latter. Spirit of Generosity:  Gravity Research seeks in its ranks a spirit of generosity: a natural disposition in each colleague toward service and selfless conduct. Our writing should be cut from the same cloth—critical on the merits, but informed by charity and forbearance in measuring motive and personal character. Radical Responsibility: We give our people a lot of responsibility early on, and our top performers embrace it. We believe in holding ourselves and our colleagues accountable, taking ownership over big things, striving for excellence, and celebrating success. Gravity Research is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
