This role leads the application of MMM, translating model outputs into forecasts, scenarios, and planning guidance that directly shape marketing investment decisions.

• Build directional forecasts and spend scenarios for annual and in-year planning.
• Partner with Finance, Operations, and Marketing teams to align MMM-based insights with planning and budget decisions.

• Integrate MMM outputs with incrementality testing, attribution, and other measurement inputs where appropriate.
• Reconcile differences across measurement approaches and communicate implications clearly.
• Explain confidence levels and limitations in a practical, decision-oriented way.

Cross-Functional and Vendor Leadership

• Act as the primary liaison between MMM vendors and internal teams consuming the outputs.
• Gather, refine, and prioritize requirements so MMM outputs address key business questions.
• Represent MMM perspectives in planning discussions, presentations, and executive-facing conversations.

Driving Adoption and Scale

• Design processes and tools that integrate MMM outputs into marketing planning and budget allocation.
• Lead adoption and change efforts in a matrixed environment.
• Improve how MMM results are shared and applied so teams can move from insight to action efficiently.

Basic Qualifications:

• BA/BS degree in Finance, Marketing, Data Science, Statistics, STEM, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of experience in marketing analytics, measurement, or strategy
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Marketing Mix Modeling, including interpretation and real-world application

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with marketing analytics tools, scenario planners, or MMM software
• Experience using incrementality testing or other causal measurement approaches to complement MMM
• Experience applying MMM outputs to support planning, optimization, and budget decisions
• Experience using MMM-based scenario planning to inform marketing investment decisions
• Experience explaining assumptions, limitations, and confidence behind modeled outputs to stakeholders
• Experience operating in ambiguous environments and leading change through influence
• Understanding of marketing measurement methods and optimization processes
• Clear communication and data storytelling skills, with the ability to influence and align senior stakeholders

Suggested Skills:
