Internal Market Recap (client: Corning Incorporated, Sullivan Park campus, Painted Post/Corning NY)

Pay Positioning Max bill rate on this req is $42.87/hr, and the candidate-facing rate given is up to $29/hr, near the top of Magnit's own suggested $23.41 to $28.58 range (actually slightly above it at $29). For a Data Analyst 2 role of this scope (BI tools, dashboarding, cross functional support, 1 to 5 years experience) in the Corning/Elmira, NY market, this lands roughly in line with the median to slightly above for similar analyst roles in upstate NY. It is not a rate that will struggle badly, but it is not a standout either. If you're struggling to find qualified people at this rate, here's what to consider loosening: move the specific tool preference (Power BI vs. Tableau vs. JMP/Python) fully to "proficiency in at least one" rather than expecting multiple, and consider relaxing the years of experience floor toward the lower end of the 1 to 5 range before touching anything in Top 3 Skills.

Competitive Landscape Local/regional talent pool around Corning and Elmira, NY: Corning Incorporated itself (other divisions), IEC Electronics, Hilliard Corporation, Willow Run Foods, Guthrie Clinic (data/analytics roles), Elmira Savings Bank, Chemung Financial Corporation, Watson Homes. Broader upstate NY/regional peer employers doing similar data analyst work: Corning's own competitors in materials science and advanced manufacturing such as 3M, Owens Corning, and Saint Gobain, plus general BI/data analyst employers in the Rochester/Syracuse corridor like Paychex, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, and Wegmans.

Contractor vs. FTE Trends No client specific Contract to FTE pattern on file yet for Corning. Using the general heuristic: most Elevait contract engagements carry a strong track record of extending and converting toward full time, though nothing is guaranteed. This req runs roughly a full year (09/14/2026 to 08/27/2027), which is a long initial term and suggests a legitimate ongoing need rather than a short term project, so frame it with the candidate as a contract with a real trajectory toward extension or conversion, not a hard stop at the end date.

Selling Points & Watch-Outs Selling points: this is a well funded innovation program at a large, established materials science company, giving the analyst visibility into R&D decision making rather than routine back office reporting. The role offers exposure to multiple BI tools rather than being locked into one platform. Long contract duration signals stability. Watch-outs: fully onsite, five days a week, with no remote flexibility, which will be a dealbreaker for some candidates. Local candidates only, so this will not work for anyone needing relocation. Shortlisting is happening fast, candidates need to be ready to move by Friday, August 14 in the afternoon.

Candidate Profile Realistic candidate has an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in a data, analytics, or business related field, 1 to 5 years of hands on experience building dashboards and reports, and is currently working as a data analyst, BI analyst, or reporting analyst, likely in a manufacturing, corporate, or R&D support function. They are comfortable presenting findings to non technical stakeholders and are not necessarily a heavy coder, more tool proficient than a data scientist.

Sourcing Channels Source on LinkedIn Recruiter using zip code plus radius around Corning, NY 14831 rather than city name stacking given the smaller local market. Target BI and reporting analyst profiles at the competitive landscape companies above, especially Corning's other divisions and regional manufacturing or healthcare employers with analytics teams. Also check general Data Analyst and Business Intelligence Analyst searches restricted to the Elmira, Corning, and greater Southern Tier NY area, since the local pool is small and this role does not require a niche technical background.

LinkedIn Location Coverage (anchor: Corning, NY 14831)

Corning sits in New York's Southern Tier, about 20 to 25 minutes west of Elmira along Route 17/I-86, which is the main east-west corridor through this part of the state. The area is rural and small-town in character, with towns strung along the river valley and connected primarily by I-86/Route 17 and a scattering of state routes, so most nearby places are reachable within an hour along this one corridor rather than a dense highway grid.
