The Opportunity
The Marketing & Customer Insights (MCI) organization has a dual mandate of providing objective customer research, analysis, and marketing effectiveness measurement while advancing the use of Adobe Marketing Cloud technologies to enable and track customer experiences across surfaces.
Within MCI, the Marketing, Planning and Analytics team was established to focus on developing deep media and customer insights to support integrated marketing planning across channels. The group closely partners with Global and Field Marketing, Finance, Go-to-market, business unit leaders and other corporate functions to provide guidance on business objectives.
The team is looking for a Lead Data Scientist to build and own the next generation of our marketing mix measurement practice. The key goal for this person will be to apply modeling techniques to connect the impact of marketing activities on business and financial outcomes and guide budget decisions. The ideal candidate will have a combination of strong technical skills and experience in applying appropriate econometric methodologies to improve business processes and demonstrate business impact.
