Marketing Science Analyst

Accountabilities:

• Model monitoring and investigation: Monitor production marketing mix models and investigate alerts involving declining model fit, unusual Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) results and unexpected Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) fluctuations.
• Develop investigation hypotheses, analyze relevant datasets, test potential causes and document findings, conclusions and recommendations.
• Identify and distinguish modeling-related issues from data quality problems, including broken data feeds, incorrect campaign labels, reporting delays and other inconsistencies.
• Prioritize investigations according to business impact, maintain accurate records and ensure issues are addressed within established timelines.
• Marketing mix model optimization: Review and adjust production model configurations, including Bayesian priors, seasonality, holidays, promotions, trends and marketing channel classifications.
• Evaluate modeling parameters such as adstock, Hill saturation and other statistical components when investigating performance anomalies.
• Compare alternative model configurations against existing production models, assessing statistical fit, channel-level results and overall business plausibility.
• Validate proposed configuration changes, promote approved adjustments and document rejected recommendations with supporting analysis.
• Maintain comprehensive records of model configurations, modifications, validation results and technical decisions.
• AI-assisted data analysis: Use AI-powered coding agents, including Claude Code, to accelerate investigations, analyze model behavior and identify data discrepancies.
• Review and interpret Python and SQL code to understand modeling pipelines, investigate analytical workflows and troubleshoot technical issues.
• Critically validate AI-generated analyses, calculations and recommendations against underlying datasets and statistical evidence.
• Integrate AI-assisted workflows into daily analytical activities while maintaining accuracy, consistency and sound analytical judgment.
• Cross-functional collaboration and documentation: Work closely with Data Science and Customer Success teams to communicate investigation results and coordinate issue resolution.
• Translate complex statistical and modeling concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Track investigation queues, technical issues and resolution progress using Jira.
• Maintain concise investigation reports, configuration change logs and technical documentation to facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing and effective handovers.
• Performance and continuous improvement: Work toward defined operational objectives, including reviewing new model alerts and documenting initial hypotheses within one business day.
• Aim to identify root causes and provide recommendations within three business days of an investigation.
• Maintain a high level of investigation accuracy, targeting at least 90% correct classification of data-related versus model-related issues.
• Ensure every approved or rejected configuration change is supported by documented comparisons of model fit and business plausibility.
• Progress toward independently managing the complete model alert investigation process within the first 60 days.

Requirements:

• Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in marketing analytics, data analysis, applied data science or a related analytical discipline.
• Demonstrated experience investigating data discrepancies, performance anomalies and technical issues within analytical systems or data-driven environments.
• Practical experience reading, interpreting and making minor modifications to Python code, alongside strong working knowledge of SQL.
• Understanding of statistical modeling concepts, particularly Bayesian regression, marketing attribution, seasonality, adstock and saturation.
• A degree in Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering or another quantitative discipline, or equivalent practical professional experience.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex modeling pipelines and identify potential sources of errors.
• Sound analytical judgment when distinguishing data quality issues from modeling problems and evaluating the reliability of analytical outputs.
• Experience using AI coding agents to support technical investigations, accelerate data analysis and validate analytical findings.
• Ability to assess model configurations using both statistical performance indicators and business plausibility.
• Strong understanding of marketing performance metrics, including channel-level ROAS and marketing effectiveness.

Nice to have:

• Previous experience in marketing analytics or media buying, particularly when evaluating advertising channel performance and return on investment.
• Experience with Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) or causal inference in an agency, technology vendor or in-house environment.
• Familiarity with Bayesian marketing mix modeling methodologies and tools such as PyMC.
• Experience analyzing e-commerce and advertising datasets from platforms such as Shopify, Amazon Ads, TikTok Shop, Meta and Google Ads.
• Practical experience with Claude Code or other AI-powered coding and analytical tools.
• Familiarity with AWS S3, AWS Athena, BigQuery, Hex and GitHub.
• Experience using Jira for investigation tracking, project coordination and technical documentation.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail and the ability to prioritize multiple investigations according to urgency and business impact.
• Ability to work independently, manage deadlines and communicate technical findings clearly within a remote, cross-functional team.
• Availability to work during US business hours, aligned with the client's time zone, from approximately 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation: Monthly salary ranging from USD $2,000 to $2,400, depending on experience and geographical location.
• Fully remote work: Work from home with the flexibility and convenience of a distributed working environment.
• International collaboration: Work alongside experienced professionals in Data Science, Marketing Analytics and Customer Success.
• Advanced technology exposure: Gain practical experience with AI coding agents, Bayesian modeling, Python, SQL and modern analytical platforms.
• Professional development: Build specialized expertise in marketing mix modeling, causal inference and marketing performance measurement.
• Meaningful business impact: Work directly with production models supporting hundreds of brands across leading e-commerce and advertising platforms.
• Technical growth: Develop hands-on experience investigating complex analytical challenges and improving the reliability of customer-facing insights.
• AI-driven environment: Contribute to innovative workflows that combine human analytical expertise with AI-powered tools to improve efficiency and accuracy.
