• Partner with other data teams as well as marketing and finance to design and execute experiments to move recommendations forward based on company goals (e.g., subscriber growth, LTV, etc.)
• Help facilitate plans for long-term MMM (et.al.) automation, productionalization and scale with support from data engineering and product
• Build out front-end reporting and dashboarding in partnership with data product managers and data engineers to communicate performance metrics across services, markets, channels and subscriber types

• Experience with attribution platforms for both digital and linear media, the data required to power them and methodologies for measurement
• Understanding of how to design and execute incrementality experiments to validate model recommendations and gain learnings on channel/publisher efficacy
• Strategic mindset with a strong understanding of utilizing data to solve high-stakes problems in the marketing space
