• Conceptualize, design, and deliver industry-leading, market-defensible insights, experiments, and measurement (i.e. incrementality, MMM, attribution), partnering cross-functionally to build scalable, repeatable solutions

• Proactively generate and communicate data-driven insights, moving beyond what happened to why it happened and what the brand can do next using ibotta as a partner

• Develop and leverage deep expertise in our clients’ categories, bringing category-level context to partner conversations

• Mentor and coach junior/mid-level Client Analytics colleagues, and provide teach-outs that raise the capability of the broader team

• Robust knowledge of industry-standard measurement and attribution models, including incrementality and MMM

• Creative thinking and expertise in generating impactful stories, presenting these impactfully across all levels of a client organization

• Proven track record of analytical work that has directly influenced revenue, renewals, or account expansion
