Digital/Social Junior Analyst

Golin is seeking a Digital/Social Junior Analyst to join our Dallas office. This role is hybrid, with the expectation of 2 days a week in the office working with Golin colleagues, and a 3rd day spent onsite with clients as needed. This is an awesome opportunity for anyone who loves to solve problems, make strategic recommendations, and consult on digital campaigns to join Golin and have an immediate impact.

If you’ve spent time in the data exported from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other platforms – you might be our perfect fit. This role is about connecting the dots between something you saw in Twitter Analytics, a finding from Instagram, and a trend from your favorite brand on social. Then you need to use your findings to make a strategic recommendation for Golin clients.

From there, you have to sell it. In a lot of ways, the internal Golin team is both your ally and your client. You have to make them believe in the recommendations that you are making. This can take the form of a quick, but well-informed email, a meeting on Teams, or a formal presentation deck with cool visualizations that help tell your story. That’s why our ideal candidate not only has an interest in how social media campaigns tick, but at the core, is a great marketer and communicator. This is a must.

This role isn’t a business analytics role. It’s a PR, marketing and comms role for people with an interest in data and understanding what makes a marketing campaign tick.
