For this specific role, you should have a skillset that includes several analytics-related competencies. But if you’re missing something, we can teach you. This role isn’t about knowing the back-end setup of Facebook or having your Google Analytics Certification (though it’s awesome if you do!). It’s about connecting the dots between something you saw in Twitter Analytics, a finding from Instagram, and a trend from your favorite brand on social.

It’s about looking at media coverage and understanding what’s working and what’s not. Then you need to use your findings to make a strategic recommendation for Golin clients. From there, you have to sell it. In a lot of ways, the internal Golin team is both your ally and your client. You have to make them believe in the recommendations that you are making.

This can take the form of a quick, but well-informed email, a meeting on Teams, or a formal presentation deck with cool visualizations that help tell your story. That’s why our ideal candidate not only has an interest in how social media and earned media campaigns tick, but at the core, is a great marketer and communicator. This is a must.

• Help lead the insights and analytics team, directing and managing multiple analysts to deliver award-winning client work on time and on budget
• Serve as a creative, analytical mind on the team to provide strategic recommendations for developing and improving social media and earned media campaigns
