About the role

  • Own paid media measurement end-to-end — go beyond platform-reported ROAS to design and execute geo holdout tests, synthetic control experiments, and incrementality frameworks that give leadership a true signal on what’s actually driving growth.
  • Lead attribution strategy — evaluate, implement, and maintain multi-touch and algorithmic attribution models that connect marketing spend to pipeline and closed revenue; surface where credit is being mis-assigned and what that means for budget allocation.
  • Drive CRO and web analytics — partner with Marketing and Growth to instrument, analyze, and improve the website funnel; define what’s being measured, ensure tracking integrity, and identify the highest-leverage conversion opportunities.
  • Build the organic measurement framework — own SEO and content analytics, connecting organic traffic trends to acquisition outcomes and helping the team prioritize based on actual business impact.
  • Support Lifecycle analytics — partner with the lifecycle team on measurement for email, push, and engagement programs; provide analytical support on segmentation and campaign performance without owning the roadmap.
  • Partner with Engineering and Data Engineering on measurement architecture — define tracking requirements, co-design event schemas, and ensure the data infrastructure underpinning marketing analytics is reliable, scalable, and built right the first time.
  • Build scalable, self-serve marketing analytics tools — dashboards, models, and metric layers that the CMO, Head of Growth, channel managers, RevOps, and Finance can trust and use independently without ad hoc requests.
  • Translate complex measurement into clear decisions — turn geo test results, attribution shifts, and funnel findings into concise, exec-ready narratives that influence spend decisions, headcount planning, and GTM strategy.
  • Champion AI-assisted workflows — automate recurring reporting, accelerate analysis turnaround, and raise the measurement bar across the marketing org.
  • Ensure instrumentation integrity — partner with data engineering and marketing ops to define tracking requirements for new campaigns, channels, and funnels before they launch, not after.

Requirements

  • 5–8 years of experience in marketing analytics, growth analytics, or data science with measurable business impact; at least 2 years at a senior or lead level.
  • Deep hands-on experience with advanced paid media measurement — geo holdout testing, synthetic control methods, incrementality analysis, or similar causal inference approaches. This is the core differentiator for this role.
  • Strong working knowledge of attribution modeling — multi-touch, data-driven, and the tradeoffs between them — with experience actually rebuilding or challenging an existing attribution setup.
  • Advanced SQL and experience with modern analytics stacks (dbt, Databricks/Snowflake, Looker, or equivalent).
  • Proficiency in Python (or AI-assisted Python) for experiment design, causal inference, and statistical modeling.
  • Demonstrated experience with web analytics and CRO — event tracking, funnel instrumentation, conversion analysis (GA4, Segment, or similar).
  • Experience partnering across Marketing (CMO/channel leads), Growth, RevOps, and technical teams (Engineering, Data Engineering) in a high-velocity tech or growth environment; SaaS or subscription background is a plus but not required.
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling — able to explain a synthetic control experiment to a Head of Growth or channel manager and make it decision-ready.
  • Demonstrated AI fluency — using AI to accelerate analysis, automate recurring workflows, and extend analytical capability.
  • Self-starter mindset with strong ownership instincts; comfortable operating in ambiguity and setting the agenda rather than waiting for one.
