Job Summary

Own the long-term marketing measurement strategy and build the data-driven framework to optimize Reddit's marketing ROI.

  • Define and drive the multi-year measurement roadmap and North Star metrics.
  • Lead analytics workstreams across MMM, MTA, experimentation, and budget optimization.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Set Long-Term Marketing Strategy: Define the 2–3 year technical roadmap for marketing measurement. Establish the "North Star" metrics and frameworks that determine how Reddit allocates hundreds of millions in marketing budget.
  • Optimize Marketing ROI: Build and refine Media Mix Models (MMM) and Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) systems to mathematically quantify the incremental impact of marketing spend.
  • Bridge B2B & B2C Growth: Design unified frameworks to optimize marketing aimed at both new advertisers (driving revenue) and new users (driving engagement), identifying synergies where brand awareness for one fuels growth for the other.
  • Advance Causal Inference & Experimentation: Lead the design of complex "always-on" incrementality testing and geo-holdout experiments. Develop methodologies to measure the long-term "halo effect" of brand marketing on organic growth.
  • Lead Through Influence: Collaborate deeply with Marketing, Growth, and Finance to translate complex data insights into actionable budget shifts.
  • Be the Technical Guide for the Team: Mentor junior scientists and set the technical bar for code quality and statistical rigor across the Marketing organization.

  • Experience:
  • For M.S. holders: 10+ years of industry experience in marketing science, growth data science, or econometrics.
  • For Ph.D. holders: 6+ years of industry experience.
  • Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the marketing ecosystem, including hands-on experience with Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), Incrementality Testing, and Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) prediction.
  • Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Python or R and SQL. Experience building production-grade data pipelines and using machine learning for predictive modeling (e.g., churn prediction, lead scoring).
  • Strategic Communication: Proven track record of influencing C-suite stakeholders and "translating" complex statistical concepts into business strategy.
  • Adaptability: Experience working in fast-paced environments where you must navigate ambiguity and build frameworks from the ground up.

Preferred

  • Experience with Bayesian structural time series or causal inference libraries.
  • Previous experience in a high-growth marketplace or social media platform.
  • A passion for the Reddit community and an understanding of our unique "Ads-as-Content" philosophy.
