Job description
The Role We are seeking a visionary leader to define and drive the future of our data capabilities. A data strategist who understands the heartbeat of a media agency, responsible for leading the overall analytics function and bridging the gap between advanced data engineering (BigQuery, AI) and actionable media strategy.

Responsibilities include setting the strategic direction for data-driven decision-making, overseeing department growth through mentorship, championing AI agentic workflows, and partnering with Account Leads to pitch innovative analytics solutions that win new business.

Salary Transparency matters to us. Salary range: $95,000 – $115,000 annually, depending on experience.

Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Vision

Formulate and articulate a clear vision for the data infrastructure and analytics department, aligning data strategies with business objectives.

Collaborate with senior leadership to integrate analytics into core decision-making across all marketing channels.

Business Growth & Client Success

Lead business development with account leads, identifying client needs and pitching bespoke analytics solutions.

Architect custom analytics solutions that go beyond standard reporting to deliver true business intelligence.

Data Architecture & AI Innovation

Own the GCP ecosystem: design, maintain, and scale a robust data warehouse environment within Google Cloud Platform, including BigQuery architecture.

Lead integration of structured and unstructured data, ensuring a single source of truth for media and client performance data.

Define and enforce database design standards, governance protocols, and schema evolution.

Drive AI innovation, developing and optimizing AI agentic workflows (e.g., Gemini Enterprise, Vertex AI).

Define KPI frameworks and measurement plans for multi-channel campaigns, ensuring data integrity across pixel implementation, tag management, and web/app tracking.

Adopt advanced measurement strategies such as Media Mix Modeling, incremental lift studies, and robust Test & Learn frameworks.

Qualifications

Minimum 7+ years of experience in data analytics, preferably within a media agency.

Proven track record managing and mentoring analytics teams.

Comprehensive knowledge of media tracking ecosystems (GMP, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, DSPs, etc.).

Advanced proficiency in SQL, data workflows, and BigQuery.

Deep understanding of tag management (GTM, Adobe Launch) and web analytics (GA4, Adobe Analytics).

Expert-level skills in data visualization dashboards (Looker Studio, Tableau, or Power BI).

Exceptional presentation and storytelling skills to translate technical complexity into business value.

Preferred Assets

Hands‑on GCP Vertex AI experience and building AI chatbots or agents.

Experience with JavaScript, HTML, CSS for media tracking automation.

Proficiency in Python for statistical modeling and advanced measurement.

Benefits

Hybrid work model, flexible hours, and work‑from‑anywhere policy for short stays.

Generous vacation starting at 3 weeks plus an extra week over the holidays.

Modern open co‑working spaces with coffee & snack bars, located in city neighborhoods.

Dog‑friendly offices and wellness rooms.

Team social events, holiday parties, and speaker series.

In‑house learning & development, access to internal career opportunities.

Flexible benefits and comprehensive mental health support.

Dedicated sick & personal absence policy and maternity leave top‑up program.
