Data Strategist

Position: Full-time 

OVERVIEW

We’re in search of a Data Strategist  to join any of our three offices: Denver, Los Angeles or NYC. The right fit will be a leader with deep experience in social, a strong communicator in internal and client-facing capacities, and most importantly, able to craft stories using data that lead to strategic insights that truly impact the business of high-profile clientele. 

You’ll be an excellent fit if you’re able to lead junior team members as well as lead cross-department initiatives, you understand (and have strong opinions on) the best metrics for evaluating social success (and you’re able to be honest and tactically deliver social misses), and you’re not afraid to dive into the work of down-and-dirty data evaluation. On any given day you might be working with the creative team (communicating optimizations to make the work better); the business strategy team (working closely to use data to shape brand strategy); the project management team (leading data-driven projects) and the internal leadership team (helping to shape the department moving forward). What will be a constant is leading both ongoing reporting and strategic thinking for the agency. 

You’d be reporting to the Group Director of Data and Insights and joining a team that includes Social Data Strategists and Social Data Analysts to support and share insights across accounts and responsibilities. You’d also be working extremely closely with a world-class paid media team to analyze the paid media impact on every brand we work with. 

We work closely with leading brands that span across a variety of industries and global markets. Delivering business results through bespoke creative and unexpected collaborations, rooted in strategy and data, is what drives our continued success. We believe in true partnership, team collaboration, non-stop hustle, and a good whiteboard session. We take great pride in a company culture grounded in the entrepreneurial spirit and personal growth. We’re a group of passionate creative thinkers here, with a point of view and fresh perspective. Come join us!
