Qualifications

• 8-10 years of experience in marketing analytics, customer analytics, data science, measurement strategy, or a related consulting field.
• Experience leading analytics for complex clients or multidisciplinary programs.

• Proven client leadership and executive communication skills.
• Experience managing and developing analytics teams.
• Familiarity with SQL, visualization platforms, digital analytics tools, and statistical-analysis environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in quantitative, analytical, marketing, or business discipline, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a marketing agency setting.
• Experience with lifecycle, retention, engagement, product-adoption, or content analytics.
