Senior Data Scientist

Insight Global, New York, NY, United States


Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to lead Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and conversion/attribution analytics end-to-end. You will build the models, ship the pipelines working with Data Engineers, and work directly with Sales, Strategy & Insights, and Planning teams to turn measurement into revenue. This is not a research engagement – we need someone who has shipped MMM and statistical models to production systems, influenced real ad spend decisions, and who can hold their own in a room with both Data Scientists and Ad Sales leaders.

If you want to know about the requirements for this role, read on for all the relevant information.

Required Skills & Experience
• 7+ years of applied data science experience, with at least 4 years focused on MMM and marketing/media measurement
• Production ownership: you have built and shipped data pipelines and model-serving integrations – not just notebooks handed off to engineering (be ready to talk through specific systems you have put into production and the business outcomes they drove)
• Strong Python/R and SQL skills; experience using modern data stack (cloud data warehouses, orchestration frameworks, version control, CI/CD)
• Demonstrated experience with incrementality testing, lift studies, and MTA, including the messy parts: test design, power analysis, reconciling conflicting signals across methodologies
• Experience with at least one major MMM framework, such as Meridian, PyMC, Robyn, or LightweightMMM, and can speak to the tradeoffs in going with a bespoke model versus using such frameworks
• Proven ability to own stakeholder communication end-to-end: presenting to senior internal leadership (VP+), agencies, and clients without needing a layer of translation (you move swiftly between a Bayesian prior conversation and a channel-mix recommendation conversation without skipping a beat)
• Able to work hybrid from our NYC office (4 days/week)
Nice to Have Skills & Experience
Strongly Preferred:
• Prior experience at a publisher, broadcaster, streaming platform, ad-tech company, or agency/measurement firm working on media-side measurement
• Familiarity with ACR data, set-top box data, or digital/streaming viewership data
• Experience working with 3P conversion/outcome data providers (NIQ, Polk, EDO, or similar)
• Exposure to both pre-sales (research, planning, recommendation) and post-sales (outcomes, renewal) measurement workflows
• GCP experience (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Composer)
Compensation :
$65/hr to $68/hr.
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education. xywuqvp
