You will own a full-funnel of metrics across advertising campaigns to ensure campaigns are pacing to deliver in full all the way through the end of campaign performance to unearthing insights of meaningful performance indicators. You will be asked to take raw numbers, pivot them to scrub the signal from the noise, and package them in a way that will make clients understand what worked and what didn’t. You will be working in Excel and PowerPoint as well as other software platforms where data is housed and manipulated. You will collaborate with media planners and buyers to inform and understand campaign KPIs and ensure goals are being met along the way.

This role has a tremendous opportunity for growth. The right candidate will have no problem with fast-track opportunities within the organization.

Qualities needed:

• Minimum of a BA/BS degree, preferably in data engineering, mathematics or digital advertising.
• Robust knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Inquisitive and curious
• Demonstrate good judgment and critical thinking.
• High attention to detail and extremely organized.
• Analysis and insight chops
• Blend of analytical and creative
• Comfortable talking data and numbers with confidence.
• Able to manage multiple projects and prioritize appropriately.
• Brave, vulnerable, reliable, quick, and self‑directed.
