Job description

Growth Technology Associate – Channel Operations

We’re looking for a Growth Technology Associate to join a small, hands‑on team supporting the technology and data behind large-scale paid marketing campaigns.

This role sits at the intersection of Marketing Technology, paid media, SQL, campaign troubleshooting, and AI/automation.

The ideal candidate has experience working with the technical side of digital marketing — audiences, conversion signals, tracking, attribution, campaign links, and the data that powers paid media platforms. You should be comfortable using SQL, but you do not need to be an advanced SQL developer.

This is a great opportunity for someone with approximately 2+ years of MarTech, Ad Tech, marketing operations, growth marketing, or marketing data experience who enjoys solving problems and wants to expand their technical skill set.

What You’ll Be Doing

SQL & Marketing Data – ~45%

• Use SQL to query, validate, manipulate, and troubleshoot marketing data.
• Work with multiple tables, joins, filters, and existing queries to support paid marketing initiatives.
• Help build and validate audience and conversion datasets.
• Investigate missing, incomplete, or inaccurate campaign data.
• Perform data checks to ensure audiences and conversion signals are reaching marketing platforms correctly.
• Troubleshoot existing SQL and make updates based on campaign or business needs.

You don’t need to be a SQL expert, but you should be comfortable reading and writing queries and working through data problems.

• Support the technical operations behind high-impact paid marketing channels.
• Troubleshoot audience, conversion, tracking, attribution, and campaign-data issues.
• Investigate why conversion signals or audience data may be missing or inconsistent between systems.
• Work with concepts such as campaign links, deep links, redirects, user identifiers, audience targeting, and conversion events.
• Support the flow of marketing data into major paid advertising platforms.
• Partner directly with marketers to understand campaign issues and develop technical solutions.
• Help prioritize competing requests based on business impact and urgency.

You do not need to be the person buying or managing media. We’re looking for someone who understands how paid campaigns work and is interested in the technology and data behind them.

AI, Automation & Process Improvement – ~20%

• Experiment with AI and automation to improve marketing operations and technical workflows.
• Identify repetitive processes that could be automated or made more efficient.
• Help develop internal tools, workflows, or AI-enabled solutions that improve troubleshooting and campaign support.
• Explore ways AI can assist with data analysis, SQL development, issue detection, documentation, or workflow automation.
• Bring ideas — professional, academic, or personal AI/automation projects are highly valued.

What We’re Looking For

• Approximately 1.5–2+ years of experience in Marketing Technology, Ad Tech, Growth Marketing, Marketing Operations, Marketing Analytics, Marketing Data, or a related area.
• Experience working with the technical mechanics behind paid marketing campaigns, not just reporting on campaign performance.
• Working knowledge of SQL, including joins and querying multiple tables.
• Understanding of audiences, conversion signals, tracking, attribution, and campaign data.
• Familiarity with paid advertising platforms such as Google, Meta/Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, DSPs, or similar platforms.
• Experience investigating or troubleshooting marketing, tracking, audience, conversion, or attribution issues.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to communicate directly with marketers, analysts, engineers, and other stakeholders.
• Ability to prioritize multiple competing requests and explain your reasoning.

Nice to Have

• Experience with a Mobile Measurement Platform (MMP) or mobile attribution technology.
• Understanding of mobile advertising identifiers and mobile campaign measurement.
• Experience with audience activation, CDPs, conversion APIs, or marketing-data integrations.
• Experience with BigQuery or another cloud data warehouse.
• Experience with AI tools, agents, workflow automation, internal tools, or personal AI projects.
• Experience supporting paid social, paid search, mobile, or programmatic advertising.

Who This Role Is Great For

You may currently be a:

• Marketing Operations Analyst
• Growth Marketing Analyst
• Digital Marketing Analyst
• Marketing Data Analyst
• Marketing Analytics Analyst

You’ll likely thrive here if you enjoy figuring out why something isn’t working — whether that means digging into SQL, tracing a missing conversion signal, investigating an audience discrepancy, working with a marketer on a campaign issue, or using AI to automate a manual process.

This is a highly collaborative, fast-moving environment with significant exposure to paid marketing, data, technology, and emerging AI capabilities.
