• Cross-Channel Analytics: Lead measurement across all media types (digital, social, retail, traditional), integrating data into a holistic performance view.
• Signal Detection: Proactively identify signals, anomalies, or emerging patterns in media and market data to flag risks or opportunities before they escalate.
• Macro Analysis: Assess how media investment contributes not just to channel-level optimization but to overall business efficiency and growth.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Collaborate with Marketing, Brand, and Finance leaders to provide actionable insights that shape investment decisions.
• Testing & Measurement Roadmaps: Drive the Americas test-and-learn agenda, including MMM, attribution, incrementality, and rapid experimentation.
• Insight Communication: Deliver compelling, concise narratives that influence executives and accelerate decision-making.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Marketing, Analytics, Statistics, Economics, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in marketing/media analytics, with proven leadership responsibility.
• Deep expertise in media measurement across both digital and traditional channels.
• Strong experience leading analytics in a consumer-driven business, preferably CPG or retail.
• 2+ years' experience applying advanced data visualization, statistical modeling, and forecasting techniques.
• Ability to both do the work and set the vision for building a regional team.
• Excellent communication, influencing, and executive presence.
• Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments where speed-to-insight is critical.
