Analyst - Keen Decision Systems

Keen Decision Systems was founded to solve the biggest challenge in marketing: connecting marketing spend to revenue. By deploying our Bayesian modeling suite, companies of any size get actionable insights into where they can best optimize their marketing spend to drive the business outcomes that matter most.

Keen is different

As an Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Company and a Triangle Business Journal Top 10 Best Place to Work two years running, we’re growing quickly. But our growth isn’t the only thing that differentiates us.

At Keen, we’re proponents of Conscious Culture. Conscious Culture is a culture built on purpose. A Conscious Culture means that time and effort have been invested in making sure that how our company operates is as important as our business outcomes. Because we work smarter Monday-Thursday, we’re able to offer all employees a three-day weekend.
