  • You’ll expose the interaction between marketing channels and traffic sources, including but not limited to email, search, social media, and bespoke local city promotional efforts
  • You’ll help publish data in easy to consume, understandable ways that allow stakeholders to self-service some of their data needs.
  • You’ll be a champion of our analytic abilities, while ensuring accurate and ethical use of data.

Who you are:

  • You know how to effectively collaborate with teams and stakeholders to determine best approaches to measurement

  • You understand supply and demand modeling and forecasting
  • You are eligible for employment in the US, preferably within 2 hours of the East Coast time zone
