Analysts & data jobs in the AI transition

Every analysts & data role across the index's two cohorts — AI-native challengers vs the legacy SaaS incumbents they pressure — from real org-chart data, refreshed monthly.

The split is live in this function: AI-natives grew analysts & data headcount +25% over the last 12 months while legacy SaaS cut it -1%.

Method: role counts and 12-month growth come from PDL's org-chart data (v25) per company; cohort figures are headcount-weighted so small-team swings don't distort the function's story. A company with no reported growth for this function contributes headcount but not growth.
