This is a senior individual contributor role on the Analytics team, embedded day to day with the marketing and growth teams and reporting to the Manager of Operational Analytics. The Senior Marketing Analyst is the analytical owner of two connected domains: B2B marketing and pipeline analytics: how marketing-sourced demand becomes qualified leads, opportunities, and closed business. B2C growth and registration analytics: how students and parents find Niche across acquisition channels, register, and convert into engaged users. You will sit in marketing, B2B, SEO, and lifecycle meetings and workflows, develop first-hand awareness of how data is actually being used, where the gaps are, and what's needed before it becomes a problem. You will be a strategic partner to marketing leadership rather than a reporting function: proactively surfacing insights, pairing them with recommendations and clear next steps, and staying with the work through the decision it informs. B2B Marketing & Pipeine Analytics Build the measurement foundation for how Niche markets to schools and districts: define which metrics matter, how they are calculated, and where the reporting lives, so the business can see what is actually working Bring rigor to questions such as which channels and campaigns produce pipeline that closes, what a marketing-sourced lead is actually worth, and where demand generation investment should go next Develop leading-indicator reporting that gives marketing and sales leadership early signal on pipeline health rather than a retrospective read Own the B2B attribution model in Marketo Measure, including touchpoint and channel definitions and the data flow between Marketo, Salesforce, and Snowflake.

Demonstrated experience owning marketing measurement end to end, from tracking implementation through to reporting and recommendation. Hands-on experience with consumer acquisition data: web analytics and paid media platforms (GA4, Meta, Google Ads, or equivalent), including campaign and channel attribution and its limitations. Direct experience with B2B marketing and pipeline analytics: lead and MQL lifecycle, multi-touch attribution, campaign and channel contribution to pipeline, and conversion through to closed business. Experience working with marketing automation, CRM, and attribution data (e.g., Marketo, Marketo Measure, Salesforce) and diagnosing problems in how they connect. Proven ability to translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insight for non-technical stakeholders, and to say plainly when the data won't support the question. Experience in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment with shifting priorities, and resilience in the face of ambiguity and change. Senior proficiency in SQL; comfortable writing, reviewing, and troubleshooting complex queries independently. Strong proficiency in data visualization and dashboarding platforms such as Streamlit, Tableau, Looker, or similar. Working knowledge of a modern data stack: Experience with Python or R. Direct experience with SEO analytics: indexation, page-level organic performance, and technical SEO measurement. Experience contributing to a semantic layer or self-serve metrics layer.
