Job Summary

Own end-to-end marketing measurement work from data prep and design through model runs, diagnostics, interpretation, and client enablement, with emphasis on MMM, trust, and cross-method reconciliation.

  • Lead data validation, test design sanity checks, and model input preparation.
  • Analyze results, explain null findings, and reconcile platform figures with our measurement.
  • Communicate methodology and findings to clients and internal teams.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM) & Testing Services
  • Assemble and validate test data — geo-level spend and conversion series, checking pre-period parity between treatment and control, spotting the coverage gaps that invalidate a design before it launches
  • Support test design under review — market matching and control selection, power and minimum detectable effect sanity checks, and identifying contamination risks such as geo-targeting settings that don't behave the way the platform's documentation claims
  • Run analysis and read the results honestly — pre-treatment fit diagnostics, lift estimates with their intervals, and what a null result does and doesn't tell you
  • Qualify client data for MMM — spend coverage across channels, whether there's enough variation in spend to identify an effect at all, series length and granularity, collinearity between channels, and gaps that will bias the result
  • Assemble and validate model input datasets, and investigate the discrepancies that surface when you do
  • Support model runs and read the diagnostics — fit, residuals, convergence, and whether a channel's estimated contribution is plausible
  • Contribute to output-extension work under review — building on an existing MMM result, for example forecasting or budget scenario work derived from it
  • Compare results across methods — where MMM, incrementality, and platform-reported figures disagree, understanding why is the interesting part of the job
  • Model Trust and Diagnostics

Requirements

  • Working proficiency in SQL — you can investigate a discrepancy yourself rather than asking someone else to pull the data
  • Python, or a demonstrated ability to pick it up quickly. Most of our analysis tooling sits there.
  • Grounding in inferential statistics — hypothesis testing, uncertainty, statistical power, and what a null result means
  • Some exposure to experimental design — randomisation, control groups, confounding, and why a badly designed test is worse than no test
  • Strong AI fluency — you use AI tools to get moving on unfamiliar problems and plug gaps in your own knowledge, and you QA the output before you rely on it
  • Clear, concise written communication — a large share of this job is explaining something technical to someone who isn’t
  • Composure in client-facing conversation, including when the client is unhappy with a number
  • Real attention to detail, and the discipline to log things consistently even when it’s dull
  • High agency — you’ll be given ownership as fast as you demonstrate you can hold it

Preferred

  • Exposure to marketing, ecommerce, or advertising data
  • Familiarity with Bayesian methods and/or modelling
  • Experience with cloud data tooling
  • Experience presenting to or supporting external stakeholders
