About The Position
A Senior Analyst on the Campaign Analytics team will have the core responsibilities of data analytics & storytelling, focused on but not limited to in-flight & post-sale digital campaign data. These data stories often are woven by analyzing raw reporting into insights + recommendations, within the context of driving revenue retention and growth. A strong Senior Analyst can leverage ad performance, measurement studies, and general market data sources across all phases of a campaign’s lifecycle to convey effective, actionable learnings.
Being able to manipulate raw data in Excel or other data visualization tools to discover insights & apply recommendations is a critical skill of this role, but just as important is the ability to present these findings in clear, digestible formats to both internal sales teams & external clients.
This position sits within a centralized function but will be supporting the digital business through a verticalized approach – acting as subject matter expert within DotDash Meredith’s Lifestyle sales verticals (ex. Retail, Home/CPG, Food, etc). This will allow the candidate to work collaboratively across a matrixed organization, acting as a strategic consultant by applying their knowledge of digital media analytics. They will be an advocate of the learnings generated by this team for internal & external audiences.
Hybrid 3x a week- (New York City)
