Job Summary

Drive ad-measurement science and production-ready causal inference for multi-channel attribution.

  • Own end-to-end measurement pipelines and actionable dashboards for incrementality across channels.
  • Must-have: 3+ years in ad-tech or marketing analytics with causal inference expertise.
  • Standout: Productionizing models with CI/CD and cross-functional impact.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Design and analyze randomized and quasi-experimental tests (holdouts, geo-tests, RCTs) to measure advertising incrementality and lift.
  • Build and maintain causal models (difference-in-differences, synthetic controls, hierarchical Bayesian, uplift modeling) and marketing mix models (MMM) for multi-channel attribution.
  • Develop and productionize scalable end-to-end pipelines for event-level ad exposure, conversions, and offline-sales ingestion (ETL/ELT, validation, monitoring).
  • Work with data engineering to keep measurement datasets clean, deduplicated (identity resolution), and privacy-compliant.
  • Own feature engineering, model training, validation, and deployment in Python/R and cloud environments (BigQuery, Snowflake, Dataproc/AWS/GCP).
  • Produce clear, actionable dashboards and executive-ready insights for product, media, and client teams; present findings to stakeholders.
  • Implement automated reporting and CI/CD for model retraining and performance monitoring; establish measurement governance and documentation.
  • Stay current on the ad-tech/measurement ecosystem (ATtribution frameworks, walled gardens, ID solutions) and recommend measurement strategy changes.

Requirements

  • 3+ years experience building statistical or ML models in ad-tech, marketing analytics, agency measurement, or a related data science role.
  • Strong statistics/causal inference fundamentals: experimental design, hypothesis testing, regression, hierarchical models.
  • Proficient in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, PyMC/Stan or equivalent) and SQL; experience with R is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with event-level ad/exposure and conversion data, logs from ad servers/DSPs, or retail/point-of-sale integration.
  • Experience working with cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift) and ETL tooling (Airflow, dbt, Kafka).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; proven ability to translate technical results to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred

  • Experience with incrementality platforms or approaches (e.g., Measured, experimentation platforms, proprietary lift frameworks).
  • Familiarity with marketing mix modeling (time-series, regularized regression, Bayesian MMM).
  • Experience with causal ML / uplift modeling and Bayesian inference tools (PyMC3/4, Stan).
  • Knowledge of identity resolution, privacy-preserving measurement (privacy regulation awareness, cohort-based measurement, differential privacy concepts).
  • Experience deploying models to production (Docker, CI/CD, MLOps patterns) and instrumenting model monitoring.
  • Background working with brand/performance media, cross-channel measurement, and agency/client workflows.
