In this position, you’ll help manage model inputs, partner with external vendors, and interpret analytical outputs to inform marketing investment decisions. A core part of the role is ensuring teams have a holistic view of marketing effectiveness across methodologies. You’ll collaborate closely with media, brand, finance, and data partners to keep our measurement frameworks accurate, actionable, and aligned with business needs. This is a collaborative, high visibility role that contributes directly to how we evaluate performance and optimize marketing spend.

  • Partner with external vendors, agencies, and internal teams to contribute to model testing and calibration, reviewing validation, diagnostics, and back‑testing to ensure the MMM remains accurate, stable, and aligned with business realities.

  • Compile and analyze complex datasets from web analytics tools, media platforms, and internal systems to support ongoing performance evaluation, model inputs, and insight generation.

  • Drive day‑to‑day marketing analytics; coordinating data pipelines, supporting analytics processes, interpreting findings, and ensuring timely insight delivery and stakeholder alignment.

  • Design data‑driven solutions by partnering with stakeholders to clarify business needs and collaborating with the Marketing Effectiveness team on analytical approaches, scenario planning, and incrementality frameworks and translate analytical outputs into compelling narratives.

  • Support executive engagement by preparing materials and synthesizing analytical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership

  • Paid Media‑Savvy. You understand paid media performance, ideally with experience in Programmatic and/or Paid Social, plus familiarity with Search, Affiliate, or Video.

  • Technically Strong. You’re proficient in SQL (required), comfortable working with large datasets, and a power user of Excel. Expertise with R or Python is a plus.

  • Web Analytics Knowledgeable. You understand web analytics fundamentals and tools like Adobe Analytics.

  • Clear Communicator. You excel at simplifying complexity, crafting compelling narratives, and presenting insights to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

  • Detail‑Oriented & Strategic. You can dive into data quality and models while keeping sight of broader business objectives.

  • Collaborative Influencer. You work well across teams, build strong relationships, and can influence stakeholders at all levels in a highly matrixed environment.

  • Strong prioritization and stakeholder management. You can balance competing requests, set expectations, and guide teams toward the highest‑impact analytical work.
