Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute full-funnel demand generation campaigns targeting US consumers across digital, social, search, programmatic, direct mail, and emerging channels
  • Own the end-to-end panelist recruitment funnel — from awareness through conversion — with a relentless focus on volume, quality, and cost efficiency
  • Build and manage campaign calendars, budgets, and performance targets in close partnership with the Demand Generation Director
  • Design and run structured A/B and multivariate tests across creative, copy, audience segments, channels, and landing experiences — with a clear hypothesis and learning agenda behind every test
  • Build and maintain dashboards that track key recruitment metrics including CPL, conversion rates, panelist quality, and channel ROI
  • Translate data into clear, actionable insights that continuously improve campaign performance and inform future strategy
  • Bring a highly analytical lens to every decision — you are equally comfortable in a creative brief and a performance report
  • Serve as the day-to-day lead for external agency partners, managing briefs, timelines, deliverables, and performance reviews
  • Push agencies to deliver their best work while maintaining a collaborative, results-oriented relationship
  • Ensure agency output is aligned to Nielsen's brand standards, campaign objectives, and recruitment goals

Requirements

  • 6–10 years of experience in demand generation, performance marketing, or growth marketing with a strong B2C focus
  • Proven track record of running high-volume consumer acquisition campaigns with measurable, data-backed results
  • Deep experience managing agency relationships — you know how to brief well, push for better, and hold partners accountable
  • Highly analytical mindset with hands-on experience building performance dashboards and translating data into campaign decisions
  • A genuine test-and-learn mentality — you move fast, measure everything, and apply learnings without ego
  • Strong creative instincts paired with the ability to evaluate and brief consumer-facing creative effectively
  • Expert-level proficiency in Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides)
  • Proficiency with marketing platforms and tools including paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), programmatic, Google Ads, and CRM/marketing automation tools
  • Strong working knowledge of AI tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) and the ability to use them to accelerate campaign development, analysis, and reporting
  • Expert-level written and verbal English communication skills; able to present clearly to senior stakeholders and write compelling consumer-facing copy direction

Benefits
