We don’t all look the same, and we don’t expect you to, either.

You will work very closely with planning, audience strategy and analytics teams to help them solve marketing problems. They also contribute crucial intellectual capital to the data science team by sharing knowledge and designing models and Data Science solutions based on their clients’ business needs and using data to tell great stories.
