Windfall is a SaaS data platform that enriches, analyzes, and activates people data to help organizations identify high-value prospects and customers. The company provides wealth screening, career intelligence, and predictive AI (propensity modeling and generative AI) to enable marketing, sales, analytics, and fundraising teams to personalize outreach and improve conversion. Windfall integrates with CRMs and media/technology platforms, emphasizes data privacy and security, and serves industries like retail, financial services, education, healthcare, travel, and nonprofit.

📋 Description

• Own the methodology and delivery of one or more of Windfall's flagship research products: a v2 of a Policy Atlas, a Preparedness Index, a Scenarios Lab, or a Scenarios Report. • Design and defend cross-country index methodology, including indicator selection, standardization, or weighting, and uncertainty. • Translate narrative AI scenarios into quantified economic parameters and work with modeling partners to propagate them through household microdata into distributional and fiscal results. • Analyze labor market resilience: which occupations and workers are exposed, how transitions historically play out, and what determines whether economies absorb or amplify a technology shock. • Assess fiscal and welfare system resilience across countries at very different income levels, including how safety nets, tax bases, and transfer systems would perform under sustained labor market disruption. • Cost and evaluate candidate policy responses under each scenario, from social insurance reform to transfer programs to capital taxation. • Author and co-author Windfall's publications. Represent Windfall's research externally, in review by academic economists, in engagement with government analysts and international institutions, and at convenings with senior policy audiences. • Set standards for rigor, reproducibility, and documentation across Windfall's quantitative work, so every published number can be traced and defended.

🎯 Requirements

• An advanced degree in economics or a closely related field, plus 8+ years of applied economic research or policy analysis; a PhD is valuable but can be substituted by an exceptional applied track record. • Demonstrated senior-level work in at least two of: labor economics, development economics, public finance, or social protection and welfare policy. • A publication or public-analysis record where your methodology survived external scrutiny: peer review, official scoring or costing, government clearance, or equivalent. • Experience working across countries at different income levels, or within international institutions, is a strong advantage. • Familiarity with the AI-and-labor literature (occupational exposure indices, augmentation versus automation framings, adoption evidence) is a strong bonus but can be built quickly by the right candidate. • Experience presenting technical work to senior non-technical audiences: ministers, boards, funders, or the press. • Comfort working in a fast-moving, remote, international team, with the self-direction that requires, and willingness to travel internationally.
