Job Description

We are seeking a Lead Senior Measurement & BI Architect to act as the analytical engine of the marketing department. In this role, you will be the chief architect of our data strategy and technical infrastructure, bridging the gap between raw data collection and executive-level insight. You won't just report on "what happened"; you will build the robust data pipelines and predictive models that tell us "what will happen next" and "what we should do about it." This role combines high-level strategic consulting with deep-tier data engineering to ensure our marketing stack is scalable, resilient, and insightful.
