Job Description
Data Analyst
Location: Remote (except California)Status: Full-Time
At Marketing Architects, we believe TV advertising is still the most powerful marketing channel. But the typical process for TV is expensive, difficult to scale and to measure. So we flipped the traditional approach on its head and rebuilt the agency model with the client in mind. Today, we're growing a team of talent from across the United States to reimagine how brands advertise on TV.
ROLE OVERVIEW
The Data Analyst is a core member of our Analytics team, responsible for answering real business questions using marketing and media data. You'll report to the Director of Analytics and work closely with cross-functional partners to ensure our measurement is accurate, thoughtful and actionable.
This role is closest to the data and we're taking an all-inclusive approach to help clients effectively navigate the complexities of measuring television. You'll deeply understand campaign inputs, assumptions and outputs, and you'll help teams and clients clearly understand what the numbers mean (and what to do next).
What you'll do:
* Deliver accurate analysis: Complete high-quality analyses that directly answer business and client questions, ensuring data accuracy, and consistency.
