  • Lead the strategy for incrementality testing and attribution modeling to prove the true marginal impact of marketing spend, translating complex technical concepts into actionable insights for strategic initiatives.
  • Identify high-value user paths and friction points to inform automated engagement triggers and personalized customer lifecycles. Partner with marketers and channel owners to operationalize findings into campaign and lifecycle decisions.
  • Partner with Marketing Ops and Data Engineering to audit, optimize, and evaluate pipeline architecture for the MarTech stack (e.g., CDP, CRM, Ad-Platform APIs). Ensure seamless data flow into Databricks, establish control processes around ETL tasks, and maintain accurate documentation of the data dictionary.
  • Develop, manage, and maintain critical KPIs and executive dashboards, ensuring maximum reliability, data accuracy, and integrity of information across all marketing and fulfillment datasets.
  • Own data validation frameworks and data dictionary documentation; proactively identify and resolve data quality issues across marketing data pipelines to ensure analysts and stakeholders are working from a single source of truth.
  • Build consensus among stakeholders with varying perspectives—marketing, engineering, finance, and leadership—by leading user feedback loops, defining requirements collaboratively, and translating business needs into technical specs and vice versa.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Analytics, Statistics, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related quantitative field; Master's degree preferred.
  • 6+ years in Marketing Analytics, Marketing Science, or Growth Analytics, with a focus on high-consideration customer journeys, long-term LTV, and cross-channel measurement. Proven track record of leading collaborative projects with complex subject matter, handling user feedback loops, and building consensus among stakeholders with varying perspectives.
  • Expert-level SQL and Python for advanced statistical analysis including propensity modeling, survival analysis, and causal inference. Hands-on experience with Databricks, dbt, and AI coding tools such as Cursor AI and Claude Code.
  • Proficiency in Tableau and Hex to build reliable, executive-ready dashboards.
  • Deep functional knowledge of CDP platforms, CRM identity management, and behavioral event-stream tools; you understand how these systems come together to create a unified customer record and can diagnose gaps in data pipelines.
  • Experience establishing data validation processes, maintaining data dictionaries, and enforcing data integrity standards across complex, multi-source marketing datasets.
  • The ability to connect operational fulfillment data to top-of-funnel brand perception and future purchase intent—and communicate those connections clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment (e.g., new product launches, startup-stage operations) with strong attention to detail and a bias for action.
