Ayzenberg is hiring: Director of Consumer Insights (Audience Science & Measureme
Ayzenberg, Pasadena, CA, United States
Fiercely independent. Passionately creative. Fueled by data and the power of AI.
Ayzenberg Group, based in Pasadena, CA, is one of the largest, privately held advertising and media companies on the West Coast. We’re a culture of curiosity, filled with player/coaches who care deeply about the work from the top down, and team members with an entrepreneurial mindset. We are an equal opportunity employer.
“Okay, nice jargon, but what does that actually mean?” Good question.
Basically, we believe we can do the best work possible while still being kind, collaborative and respectful to everyone involved.
We strive to macro (not micro) manage and give all team members the support and freedom they need to thrive—both professionally and personally.
We’re also deeply passionate about where the industry is headed—especially when it comes to AI. From creative automation to predictive insights and smarter media strategy, we’re not only leaning into but creating the tools and technologies shaping the future of marketing, and we’re looking for teammates who are excited to grow with us in that space.
In a nutshell, whether you’re a client or a team member, we want you to love it here.

Able to translate complex methodology into business impact
Curious about how AI, data science, and predictive modeling can shape the future of marketing
We’re looking for someone with the right combination of
technical rigor, intellectual curiosity, and communication skills
to hold their own in conversations with both engineers and marketers about modeling fidelity, predictive accuracy, and measurement systems.
This person will work closely with
the CEO, President, AI engineering team, and Soulmates product team
to evolve our audience intelligence platform, while also supporting client teams with credible, defensible, insight-driven strategy.
You’ll play a critical role in strengthening and scaling our proprietary audience tools— Digital Twins, predictive audience models, and the Soulmates.ai platform —as they're deployed across our agency, clients, and broader industry ecosystem.
