Overview

What does Zenith Analytics do?

Working closely with both the Business Planning and Activation teams, Analytics designs the data strategy to tie our clients’ marketing to real-world business goals. We then mine that data to optimize campaigns and tell the stories that bring our clients closer to their marketing, helping them understand if they’re talking to the people they want, and if they’re doing it the right way.

What does a successful Manager look like?

Successful members of the Analytics team at Zenith generally have a data-driven approach to decision-making, collaboration, and solving problems. This person understands and synthesizes the full scope of media (data ingestion, data house pipelines, EPL, etc.) They understand the nuances of different partners, such as what makes Youtube distinct from Meta in terms of a media buying perspective. We’re also hoping you have at least a year’s worth of experience in managing direct reports and have at least four years of prior professional experience.
