Role Summary and Impact

The Senior Data Scientist role is a critical position within WPP's Digital TCCC LATAM practice, purpose-built to support audience discovery for advertising campaigns across the TCCC brand portfolio in Latin America. In this role, you will serve as a lead analytical voice, designing and delivering the behavioral models, audience frameworks, and data insights that shape how and where TCCC connects with its consumers in the digital world across the region.

This is a role for a data science professional who brings both technical depth and strategic clarity, someone who finds equal satisfaction in building a robust model and presenting its implications to a room of marketing leaders.

• Lead data science efforts for audience discovery, segmentation, and targeting in TCCC’s digital campaigns in Latin America.

• Develop and implement behavioral models (propensity, lookalike, clustering) to identify high-value consumer segments.

• Conduct comprehensive data analysis using proprietary and third-party data sources to uncover consumer insights specific to the Latin American market.

• Design, develop, and validate machine learning models for campaign optimization and build scalable data workflows.

• Translate complex analytical results into compelling strategic narratives for marketing leaders, connecting insights directly to business performance.

• Serve as a subject matter expert, collaborating with cross-functional teams at WPP and TCCC.

Skills and Experience

• Experience: Over 5 years of hands-on experience in complex data analysis within marketing, media, or business environments, with a proven track record in building and implementing ML models (classification, clustering, regression, propensity scoring, lookalike modeling).

• Technical Skills: Expert-level SQL, advanced Python (pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy), Git, and hands-on experience with cloud data environments (GCP, AWS, or Azure, with a preference for BigQuery/Databricks). Strong data cleaning skills.

• Business Acumen: Demonstrated ability to link data science work to tangible marketing and commercial results.

• Language: Fluency in English is required, and proficiency in Portuguese is a significant advantage.

• Domain Knowledge (Preferred): Experience in digital advertising, audience segmentation, marketing data science, CDPs, DSPs, or programmatic advertising ecosystems.

• This role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on TCCC’s brand strategy in a diverse and vibrant region, leveraging rich datasets within a culture of innovation.

Why This Role Stands Out

• The best expeditions are defined by the significance of the destination and the caliber of the crew making the journey.

• Regional Scale and Complexity: Your analytical work will inform how one of the most recognized brands in history connects with a richly diverse consumer base spanning dozens of LATAM markets

• Data Richness: Access to some of the most diverse, multidimensional consumer datasets in the CPG and digital advertising space, with the added complexity and opportunity of a multi-market regional scope

• Innovation Culture: A team that actively invests in experimentation, intellectual curiosity, and the continuous pursuit of better methods

• Real Impact: Every model, every audience framework, and every insight you produce carries a direct line of sight to campaign performance and brand outcomes

• Career Growth: Genuine investment in professional development, from cross-functional exposure to certifications, conferences, and learning opportunities within the broader WPP global network
