Job Description

What does Zenith Data Governance do?

Data Governance collaborates with Analytics, Engineering, and Technology Activation teams to design and enforce the processes and protocols used to effectively manage data across our digital ecosystem to ensure quality, consistency, and availability. We also work to understand key decision points so we can ensure the correct business logic is applied, documented, and executed. Once that data is mined, it is used to optimize campaigns and tell the stories that bring our clients closer to their marketing, helping them understand if they’re talking to the people they want, and if they’re doing it the right way.

Responsibilities

What does a successful Analyst look like?

We don’t all look the same, and we don’t expect you to either. Successful members of our team generally have a passion for emerging tech and media, bring a data-driven approach to decision-making, have a problem-solving mind, have a fresh perspective and share it in a positive way, don’t shy away from a challenge, and are always hungry to learn more.

Familiarity with media analytics and data helps, especially digital media, but isn’t necessarily a requirement. Prior professional experience in a data related role is highly preferred.

What does a Data Governance Analyst do day-to-day?

Analysts form the foundation of the Data Governance team. They work closely with core Analytics teams to understand client media reporting requirements and processes. They also work with other cross functional teams and help implement standardized processes and protocols to enable efficient data management. They behave like Business Analysts who understand the business requirements and are able to produce clear documentation to facilitate automation of data processing.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree. Degree in a related field is a plus (i.e. STEM, Economics, MIS, BI, Marketing, etc.).
• 1-2 years of experience working with large data sets or conducting quantitative analysis.
• Strong communication skills. Ability to speak and write professionally. Ability and comfort with presenting work via video call or within small and large in-person groups.
• Strong organizational skills. Ability to track progress and next steps across multiple tasks and provide regular status updates to Team Leadership.
• Critical thinker and a self-starter. Ability to learn through self-led trainings.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office software such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• World-class customer service skills. Ability to service clients, partners and internal stakeholders by understanding their needs, translating those needs into creative solutions, and delivering on those solutions with diligence and a sense of urgency.

Preferred Experience:

• Knowledge of digital marketing, advertising landscape, and concepts.
• Knowledge of digital media metrics (Impressions, Clicks, CTR, CPM, etc.).
• Knowledge of visualization tools like Tableau and PowerBI.
• Knowledge of analytics tools and relational databases (Google Analytics, MS Access, DBeaver)
