Job Description
We’re hiring a Data Scientist to help us drive innovation and excellence in marketing performance measurement. This is a hands-on, high-impact role ideal for someone who’s both a builder and a thinker – someone who codes with intent, models with depth, and communicates with clarity.
You will:
- Lead development of advanced marketing analytics solutions from concept to deployment
- Design and implement machine learning models with sound statistical underpinnings
- Guide junior analysts and coordinate cross-functional project teams
- Translate marketing business challenges into robust analytical frameworks
- Partner with global stakeholders to deliver insights that influence strategy
- Build, test, and deploy scalable pipelines and automation systems
- Ensure analytical outputs meet high technical and business standards
Required Qualifications
- Master’s in Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a quantitative discipline
- 2 – 3 years of experience in data science or analytics, ideally with project leadership
- Strong Python programming skills
- Solid grounding in statistical inference, regression, time series, and machine learning theory
- Experience with cloud tools (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure), SQL, and version control (Git)
- Business-level fluency in English (written and spoken)
- Prior exposure to marketing science or media measurement a BIG plus
Preferred Technical Experience
- Critical thinkers who know why a model works, not just how to run it
- Problem solvers who love turning ambiguity into clear analytical plans
- Communicators who can translate model outputs into business actions
- Builders who take pride in creating elegant, scalable, and well-documented solutions
- Leaders who can inspire, coach, and challenge others to do their best work
