Job Summary
As a Junior Data Associate, you will support MediaRadar's data operations by performing high-volume, foundational data tasks that keep advertising content clean, complete, and ready for downstream processing. Working under direct supervision, you will review ads across media channels using MediaRadar's proprietary platforms and apply established guidelines to prepare data for further classification and attribution.

Instead, you'll learn our systems, tools, and procedures while building the accuracy, speed, and data discipline that form the foundation of a career in data operations. This role is ideal for detail-oriented fresh graduates who are eager to learn and want a clear growth path into the Data Associate role.

- Use new tools and automation enhancements as directed, and share feedback to help improve workflows.
