• Contribute to proposal development and statements of work for new and existing client engagements.
• Desired Skills & Experience
• 3 to 6 years of experience in a quantitative or analytics role, with at least 2 years in a client-facing capacity.
• Solid working knowledge of regression-based modeling and Marketing Mix Modelling methodology.
• Proven ability to manage client relationships, handle pushback professionally, and maintain project momentum under competing demands.
• Experience presenting analytical findings to non-technical stakeholders and adapting communication style to different audiences.
• Proficiency in Python or R, and comfort working with media, sales, or consumer dataset types.
• Understanding of the marketing lifecycle, key KPIs and metrics
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.

Requirements

• Experience at a marketing agency or management consultancy.
• Familiarity with Bayesian regression methods and adstock modeling.
