We combined the agility and personalized attention of a boutique agency with the unrivaled resources and expertise of a global powerhouse.

Responsibilities

• Guide and drive use of data to impact media strategies for clients based on overall objectives, leveraging data-driven processes to improve precision and campaign performance
• Understand how platform/data technologies work and offer the ability to explain technical concepts in ordinary terms (be technically savvy & understand the opportunities and limitations)
• Partner across the DTAI teams to maintain a robust data infrastructure for seamless organization and analysis of customer data across all platforms and channels, including ensuring all marketing technology and data activities adhere to privacy and security regulations and industry best practices
• Partner with Data Architecture and Analytics leadership to create new product offerings and thought leadership to drive our clients’ business

• Knowledge of database structures and experience with data manipulation
• Strong project management skills
• Experience successfully managing multiple clients and/or brands across a variety of third-party marketing measurement technologies and platforms
• Embody a can‑do attitude and a “figure out ability” mindset

• Experience in multi‑variate regression in projects
• Familiarity with P‑value, VIF, T‑score, R2, MSE, Durbin‑Watson, etc.
