September 7, 2022
Discover recently opened its Advanced Analytics Resource Center at its downtown Chicago Office. The center has 75 employees and will offer opportunities in the analytics field through outreach programs to universities and community and professional organizations, according to a press release.
Discover will allow employees to rotate through a variety of projects and eventually settle in a permanent role in the project that fits them.
"Our data and analytics teams are always looking for outstanding technical talent with diverse backgrounds to join Discover," Keith Toney, executive vice president and chief data and analytics officer at Discover, said in the release. "We want early-in-career employees who are just joining the workforce to gain experience in different areas, find what they are most passionate about and grow their capabilities and careers at Discover."
Discover plans to hire on an additional 75 to 100 employees in 2023 for the center.
"Chicago continues to attract and retain talent across industries thanks to our many amenities that help both residents and businesses thrive," Lori E. Lightfoot, mayor of Chicago, said in the release. "This is especially true for our city's tech industry, demonstrated by these new employees relocating to our city to join Discover in their downtown office. I'm grateful for Discover's continued commitment to Chicago and happily welcome their newest employees to our great city."
