About the Role:

The GTM team at Ovative is the measurement bridge — the application layer between modeling and client impact. We span the entire MMM lifecycle: from data and EDA through model build, QA, results delivery, and optimizations. We are a small, focused team of deep MMM experts who build the AI-powered tools, systems, and processes that let our expertise scale at the pace clients and the industry demand.

We partner closely with Data Science, our client-facing analytics team, and the Product team — serving as the connective tissue that turns modeling capability into client decisions and best-in-class tooling.

The Senior Manager, MMM is a senior leader and hands-on contributor who brings deep MMM expertise to how we deliver, what we build, and how we work. This role is not about running models — it’s about applying deep MMM expertise to govern quality, design better processes, build tools that codify best practices, and ensure clients receive clear, confident insights that drive real decisions.

You will own delivery quality, build AI-powered tools and automations, and serve as the expert the team and clients rely on when questions get hard. If you want to be a force multiplier for a high-performing measurement team — and believe great expertise and great systems are not mutually exclusive — this role is for you.

What You’ll Own:

• Own delivery quality and consistency across MMM implementations, refits, and testing integrations — not by doing the modeling, but by governing what good looks like
• Establish and maintain MMM standards: prior frameworks, QA criteria, spec design, expectation documentation, and diagnostic interpretation
• Pressure-test model outputs against real-world marketing context before they reach clients
• Lead the integration of incrementality testing and experiment learnings into MMM frameworks
• Partner closely with Data Science on model design and interpretation — the bridge between technical execution and delivery

• Translate complex MMM outputs into clear, actionable guidance that drives real investment decisions — faster, more consistently, and with fewer surprises
• Lead client-facing conversations on results, model confidence, and investment implications with authority and clarity
• Ensure clients understand what the model shows, what it doesn’t, and how to act on it confidently — reducing the gap between insight and action
• Reduce time to insight — the work this role enables means clients don’t wait as long, and what they receive is clearer and more decision-ready
• Coach the client-facing analytics team on how to deliver MMM results and navigate complex client questions independently
• Raise the bar on delivery quality across every engagement

• Actively build AI-powered tools, automations, and process improvements that reduce manual work and scale delivery across the GTM team
• Own a tooling agenda: identify what needs to be built, sequence it, and drive it from POC through full release
• Partner with the Product team to surface delivery-side needs, influence the product roadmap, and co-create best-in-class MMM solutions at scale
• Contribute to shared GTM tools…
