Job description

$250K base + 10 to 20% annual bonus

Reports to: President

Jump 450 is launching a measurement service in 2027, and we are hiring the person who builds it. You will build and run Jump's measurement offer: our own media mix model, monthly readouts and incrementality tests that show clients which ads really drive sales and where to move budget next.

This is a builder role. You will work hands on with Jump's President to design the product, launch it with our first clients in March and sell it to new ones. As the service grows, you will grow it into a team.

What You Will Do

Build the Product

• Build Jump's measurement model across our clients' digital channels, using open source frameworks such as Google Meridian or Robyn as a starting point
• Design the monthly readout: what each channel really drove, written so a CMO or CFO can act on it
• Build the quarterly budget plan: where to move money next and what the move is worth
• Design and run incrementality tests (geo holdouts, conversion lift, matched markets) that prove cause and effect
• Build scenario planning: what happens to sales if budget goes up or down
• Set the data requirements for new clients and QA the spend, sales and analytics data that feeds the model

Run It for Clients

• Lead each measurement engagement from data onboarding to readout
• Present results to senior client stakeholders, including marketing and finance leaders
• Partner with Jump's paid social, search and programmatic teams so findings turn into budget moves the same week
• Explain attribution, lift and model results in plain words, and be honest about what the data can and can't say

Sell and Grow the Service

• Pitch the service alongside the President and Jump's new business team
• Build the case studies, sales materials and proof points that help us sell it
• Hire, train and mentor analysts as the client list grows

What You Will Bring

• 7+ years in marketing science, measurement or analytics, ideally on a marketing science team at Meta or Google, at a measurement company, or in an agency analytics group
• Master's or PhD in statistics, economics, data science or another quantitative field
• Hands-on experience building and running media mix models (MMM)
• Hands-on experience designing and reading geo or holdout incrementality tests
• Strong Python or R, and SQL
• Track record of turning measurement into budget decisions across paid social, search and programmatic
• Comfortable building with AI tools (for example Claude Code or ChatGPT) to work faster and automate the repeat work
• Clear, plain spoken communicator who can present to CMOs and CFOs and move a decision forward
• Self-starter who likes building something new from scratch in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Nice to Have

• Agency or consulting background
• Bayesian modeling experience
• Experience with Meridian, Robyn, or tools like Haus or Recast
• Has built and launched a product or service before

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses.
