• Proactively monitor performance across assigned accounts to identify trends, anomalies, and optimization opportunities; develop and test hypotheses for performance shifts in collaboration with the Data Governance team; deliver findings with a level of strategic depth that drives planning and investment decisions.

• Serve as a subject matter expert on measurement strategy for assigned accounts; participate in measurement planning discussions with Integrated Strategy & Planning, Campaign Operations, and client teams; contribute to the development of clients' overall measurement frameworks.
• Mentor and support Media Intelligence Associates and Analysts in the development of analytical skills, BI platform proficiency, and client communication; assist with onboarding of new Media Intelligence team members and contribute to internal training initiatives.
