Position is remote in the New York metro area.

• Guide clients on judicious scaling while maintaining cost efficiency across channels.
• Leverage industry trends and advanced analytics to craft innovative, data‑driven media strategies.
• Oversee media activation and optimization feedback loops to improve campaign outcomes.
• Contribute to thought leadership and agency's positioning as a leader in media science.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 10+ years of experience in analytics and media measurement with a focus on consumer brands within the agency sector, media consultancy or in‑house energy.
• Advanced degree or equivalent experience in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Economics, Data Science, Mathematics, or related discipline).
• Expertise in media analytics, measurement strategy, CAC optimization, and media performance including MTA, MMM and media research.
• Strong knowledge of industry trends and a deep understanding of scaling media campaigns effectively.
• Proven track record of guiding brands to evolve from performance‑driven to performance‑optimized strategies by challenging conventions to optimize client business outcomes.
• Must be able to be highly‑entrepreneurial, hands‑on and be comfortable working in a small agency environment.
