Don’t be interesting….Be Instrumental. Join our team that is leveraging data to help drive key decisions across our clients’ business and data ecosystems. The Data & Decisioning (DnD) team leverages a fundamental data-first approach to creating and activating actionable insights to optimize client results and empower strategic growth.


We are always on the hunt for good, smart, provocative thinkers. What makes for a successful Director in our world? Well, someone who is not overwhelmed of data but knows the difference between “good data” and “lots of data”. More data isn’t better data…better data is better data. Are comfortable analyzing large, disparate sets of data? Are you experienced enough to drive conclusions from these raw assets? Are you confident enough to make recommendations to clients – at all levels? If so, then let’s talk.

  • Managing efficient execution of projects, including the implementation of best practices
  • Building a collaborative team environment, including participation in department-wide training efforts and fostering employee career growth
  • Playing a key partner role for the client and internal teams through the implementation of measurement and optimization frameworks – driven by data – in service to the development of tangible, world-class media and business strategies
  • Solidifying and expanding the client relationship and remit by building confidence through provocative and prudent approaches and strategies
  • Leveraging online and offline data in both rigorous and innovative manner while identifying leading edge sources of data, technologies and methodologies
  • Interrogating disparate source of online and offline data in service to business decisions
