About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Analyst, Data Science to join our growing data science practice. In this role, you will lead the development and delivery of quantitative models and analyses across a portfolio of marketing clients, including predictive modeling, regression analysis, and statistical work spanning media, pricing, and promotional data. This role suits someone with 1-2+ years of hands-on analytics experience who is ready to take greater ownership of model design, client interaction, and mentorship of junior team members.

Responsibilities

• Lead the build and maintenance of data science models such as Marketing Mix Models using regression-based techniques, working with weekly or monthly time-series data across media, pricing, and promotional variables.
• Own data validation, cleaning, and QA processes for client-provided datasets, establishing best practices for model-ready inputs.
• Run and interpret statistical analyses including adstock transformations, diminishing returns curves, and decomposition outputs, flagging issues in methodology or data quality.
• Prepare and review model documentation and structured outputs (Excel workbooks, charts, summary tables) for internal and client review.
• Partner directly with senior team members and clients on methodology decisions, model refinement, and results interpretation.
• Mentor and review the work of junior analysts, providing feedback on code, methodology, and QA.
• Drive internal tooling and process improvements as the team scales.
• What We Are Looking For
• 1-2+ years of professional experience in analytics, data science, or a related quantitative role.
• Clear, confident written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting analytical work to stakeholders or clients.
• Strong foundation in statistical modeling, particularly regression analysis and time-series methods.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
• Proficiency in Python or R for data manipulation, modeling, and visualization (pandas, statsmodels, scikit-learn, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of concepts such as multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, model fit diagnostics, and variable selection.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently through large, messy datasets with strong attention to detail.

Requirements

• Exposure to Bayesian methods or hierarchical modeling.
• Prior experience with marketing data (media spend, impressions, GRPs) or consumer datasets.
• Experience mentoring or reviewing the work of junior analysts.
