About the Role
We are hiring a Director to lead marketing measurement and effectiveness for our US client portfolio, starting with a large, in-flight measurement program for a major US financial services client. This is a player-coach role where you will own the methodology and client relationship, lead a multi-workstream data science team, and stay close enough to the models to challenge assumptions, review code, and unblock technical problems. You will also help productize measurement work into reusable accelerators and points of view.
Responsibilities
- Own the hardest question in marketing: what actually caused the sales.
- Lead measurement programs, including MMM, geo and incrementality testing, attribution, experimentation, and marketing optimization.
- Own the statistical modeling architecture and scientific rigor, including model specification, validation, calibration, uncertainty treatment, and assumption identification.
- Adapt frameworks to messy commercial reality, including long consideration cycles, CRM-driven demand, short flights, campaign overlap, brand and long-term effects, channel and regional constraints, and privacy-constrained measurement.
- Translate model output into actionable media investment, budget allocation, and scenario-planning decisions.
- Own the outcome, not just the deliverable, working in the client's environment from day zero and staying after launch.
- Build and deploy GenAI and agentic applications into production to change how measurement is done and consumed.
- Contribute to Artefact's reusable measurement offerings, accelerators, and IP.
- Get direct access to frontier labs and build with partners like Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and Mistral.
- Build and lead data scientists and analysts across parallel workstreams, growing senior talent.
- Set delivery standards for reproducibility, documentation, QA, and validation.
- Work alongside scientists, engineers, creatives, and strategists.
- Shape solutions, support proposals, and scope new work to expand client relationships.
- Represent Artefact externally through white papers, conference talks, and published methodologies.
- Help decide what to productize next, stop doing, and how to take it to market.
- Get direct access to senior client stakeholders, presenting methods, defending them, owning recommendations, and participating in qualification.
Requirements
- Approximately 10+ years building Marketing Mix Modeling, incrementality and attribution work, applied statistics, causal inference, experimentation, and marketing optimization, or equivalent depth.
- Shipped models that changed how a real budget was spent, and ability to discuss failed models.
- Genuine marketing fluency, understanding of retail media, paid social, brand-building, and media planner actions.
- Proficiency in causal inference and Bayesian methods as a working craft.
- Comfortable with forecasting, optimization, experimentation platforms, and applied GenAI.
- Experience shipping generative AI or agentic AI applications into production for marketing, analytics, and decision-making.
- Still writing and debugging code personally.
- Strong client-facing and executive communication skills, making methodology legible to executives and business stakeholders.
- Ability to defend analytical approaches with skeptical senior stakeholders.
- Ability to hold a technical audience for an hour and a senior client stakeholder for ninety seconds.
- Ability to state when a result is inconclusive.
- Ability to lead complex and ambiguous measurement programs while remaining hands-on.
- Experience leading and developing data-science teams across multiple workstreams.
- A consulting and commercial mindset, including shaping solutions, supporting proposals, and expanding client relationships.
- Experience being in the room during qualification and solution design.
- MLOps and cloud industrialization experience.
- Daily use of AI in personal work.
- Master's degree (or higher) in computer science, engineering, statistics/mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent research/industry experience.
- Financial-services experience, ideally in banking, wealth management, asset management, credit cards or insurance (preferred).
- Consulting, agency, measurement-vendor, or platform background across data-intensive industries (preferred).
- Experience with brand and long-term marketing measurement (preferred).
- Experience with major media platforms and ecosystems and their measurement products (preferred).
- Evidence of external thought leadership: white papers, published methodologies, conference participation, or development of reusable measurement offerings (preferred).
- Experience with visualization and delivery tooling like Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent.
- Experience with cloud data platforms such as BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks (preferred).
