Job Summary

  • Own modeling and decision systems that translate analytics into repeatable business actions.
  • Lead experimentation and causal measurement to inform marketing investment across channels.
  • Build trusted data foundations and actionable dashboards for leadership visibility.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop models and optimization approaches that improve upper-funnel marketing performance, such as spend allocation, channel mix optimization, budget pacing, media efficiency measurement, audience strategy, and forecasted revenue impact.
  • Design and operationalize decision systems that help the business move from static reporting to repeatable, data-informed action, including recommendation engines, scenario planning tools, and AI-assisted workflows.
  • Lead experimentation and causal measurement across upper-funnel marketing programs, helping teams distinguish signal from noise and make better investment decisions across channels, campaigns, and retail partnerships.
  • Build and maintain trusted data foundations that unify marketing, revenue, retail, and product data across channels and systems to establish performance measurement metrics.
  • Build dashboards, reporting layers, and recurring analytical products that give leaders clear visibility into awareness and acquisition funnel health, campaign efficiency, retail performance, and revenue contribution.
  • Partner with Marketing and other stakeholders to define the highest-leverage growth and efficiency problems, translate ambiguous business questions into analytical frameworks, and drive marketing spend decisions through rigorous data science.
  • Collaborate with Data Engineering and business partners to improve data quality, instrumentation, metric definitions, and pipeline reliability across the marketing data ecosystem.
  • Apply AI/ML methods where they create practical leverage, including predictive modeling, optimization, and LLM-enabled workflows that improve decision speed, quality, or scale.
  • Translate complex analytical work into clear recommendations for non-technical and executive stakeholders, influencing roadmap, budget, and growth strategy decisions.
  • Help raise the technical bar for the team through strong project ownership, documentation, peer review, mentoring, and thoughtful cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or advanced analytics, with a track record of owning high-impact business problems end to end.
  • Strong domain experience supporting Marketing, Growth, Retail, or other go-to-market functions in a consumer, e-commerce, retail, or digital business.
  • Hands-on experience building marketing data science solutions such as spend optimization models, channel or campaign measurement frameworks, media mix or incrementality approaches, propensity models, budget planning systems, or upper-funnel decisioning systems.
  • Demonstrated experience building not just models, but decision systems that operationalize analytical outputs into business workflows and recurring decisions.
  • Proven experience of data engineering intuition, including experience unifying and transforming data across multiple systems to create reliable, scalable datasets for downstream analysis, experimentation, and modeling.
  • Experience with experimentation, causal inference, forecasting, and optimization methods used to support business planning and growth investment decisions.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL (dbt) and Python, with experience building analytical data models, machine learning workflows, and production-quality measurement systems.
  • Experience applying AI techniques in practical business settings, ideally including LLM-enabled workflows, recommendation systems, decision support tools, or other AI-native products that augment human decision-making.
  • Experience working with modern cloud and data platforms such as Databricks, AWS, dbt, Snowflake, or similar tools.
  • Proven ability to communicate complex analytical concepts clearly to non-technical partners and to translate model outputs into recommendations the business can act on.

Preferred

  • Experience in e-commerce, DTC, retail, or omnichannel growth environments.
  • Experience with marketing mix modeling, incrementality testing, attribution, or budget planning workflows.
  • Experience connecting marketing, retail, and commercial performance data to downstream revenue outcomes.
