Responsibilities
Build data products and algorithms that optimize marketing performance—including budget allocation, targeting strategies, and campaign optimization across multiple channels.
Design and implement measurement strategies for marketing initiatives, including attribution modeling, incrementality analysis, and multi-touch attribution.
Drive marketing strategy through data insights, A/B testing, and causal inference methodologies to maximize ROI on marketing spend.
Develop and maintain analytics pipelines and data infrastructure, working collaboratively with data engineers and other data scientists.
Conduct exploratory analysis to identify growth opportunities, understand customer behavior, and optimize marketing tactics.
Provide business-as-usual analytics support including reporting, dashboards, and ad-hoc analysis for marketing stakeholders.
Leverage AI tooling to handle operational tasks efficiently and focus your expertise on high-impact strategic problems.
Partner with ad platforms (Google, Meta, etc.) and internal engineering teams to ensure robust tracking, data integration, and measurement capabilities.
Take ownership and ship it—continuously look for the simplest, most effective way to approach challenges; Occam's razor is your friend.
Work where you are (while our Canadian offices are located in Toronto, we are a remote-first workforce and you can join from anywhere in Canada!)

Understanding of digital marketing mechanics including attribution, ad platforms, tracking, and conversion optimization.
