- Predictive Modeling: Build and maintain predictive and forecasting models-spanning MMM, attribution, and incrementality-to anticipate media performance and guide allocation decisions before results are final.

- Reporting & Dashboards: Build and maintain concise, audience-appropriate dashboards that highlight what's working, what isn't, and where predictive models point next. Collaborate with Data & Engineering teams to maintain the integrity of the media analytics ecosystem, where data quality is validated, and dashboards provide accurate, actionable insights.
- Insights to Action: Translate complex, model-driven data into compelling stories that lead to concrete recommendations and immediate adjustments.
- Team & Stakeholder Partnership: Mentor junior analysts and partner closely with regional marketing, brand, performance and agency stakeholders to embed predictive thinking into day-to-day media decisions.
