About the role

  • Act as the senior analytical authority for Marketing/UA setting measurement strategy, prioritising work, and guiding stakeholders on “what good looks like” across channels and markets.
  • Own and evolve best practices and standards for:
  • Attribution and measurement across privacy constraints (incl. SKAN)
  • Incrementality and experimentation (A/B, geo, holdout designs; test hygiene and interpretation)
  • Performance monitoring and outcome reporting
  • Budget allocation decision support and learning agendas
  • Provide thought leadership & work with external vendors on modelling approaches such as MMM, cohort-based LTV modelling, payback/ROI, and quality-adjusted acquisition metrics (beyond CPI/CAC).
  • Partner with Data Engineering / Analytics Engineering to ensure marketing data is reliable, scalable, and supports multiple outputs (dashboards, models, analyses), including governance and clear metric definitions.
  • Translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into crisp analytical briefs, proactively shaping scope, asking the right questions, and staying focused on the “so what” and decision impact.
  • Mentor analysts and data scientists; raise the bar on critical thinking, commercial acumen, and disciplined execution across the marketing ecosystem.
  • Bring an integrated perspective: connect channel performance to business health metrics, downstream conversion, retention, and marketplace quality (supply/demand balance).

Requirements

  • Significant experience in marketing analytics / growth / UA data science (typically 5+ years, or equivalent depth), ideally in a high-scale consumer tech environment.
  • Deep knowledge of:
  • Mobile attribution and tracking (including SKAN realities and limitations)
  • Channel-level nuance (search, social, display, video, affiliates, ASA, etc.) and measurement pitfalls
  • Incrementality testing best practices and causal thinking
  • MMM (design, calibration, interpretation, and how to operationalise insights)
  • LTV / cohort modelling, payback, ROI, and quality-adjusted acquisition approaches (not just CPI/CAC)
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; ability to build repeatable analytical workflows and robust datasets.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder leadership. Able to influence decision-making up to senior/executive level and align cross-functional partners on measurement strategy.
  • Experience partnering with data engineering on ingestion, warehousing, and data model requirements for automated reporting and measurement.
  • Strong commercial judgement: you understand how marketing choices impact revenue, retention, marketplace health, and long-term growth.
