Senior Manager, Marketing Science

Role Context

This role sits at the heart of how marketing decisions get made. You won't just be reporting on the past; you’ll be hands-on with data to understand what's driving performance today and, more importantly, what will drive growth tomorrow.

You’ll be responsible for building the rigorous thinking that underpins smarter strategy. This means creating models and running deep-dive analyses that turn complex data outputs into clear, actionable recommendations that our clients can actually use to move the needle.

• Build, maintain, and improve predictive and explanatory models covering revenue, demand, media performance, and customer behaviour
• Support Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM) and attribution work to provide both historical insights and forward-looking forecasts
• Develop models that answer critical business questions, such as the impact of shifting budgets between channels or how sensitive performance is to pricing changes
• Move beyond "reporting for reporting's sake" by creating dashboards and recommendations focused on real-world impact
• Move beyond "reporting for reporting's sake" by creating dashboards and recommendations focused on real-world impact
• Support experimentation and test-and-learn programs to validate model outputs and close the loop between prediction and outcome
• Partner with Data Engineering to ensure pipelines are reliable, automate repeatable analysis, and maintain high standards for reproducibility

• You should have at least 5 years of experience in data science, analytics, or marketing science
• A strong foundation in statistics and forecasting is essential to ensure models are robust and transparent
• You must have hands-on experience using Python or R for data analysis and modelling
• Proven ability to build and improve predictive and explanatory models across revenue, demand, and customer behaviour
• Experience with time-series analysis or causal methods is a significant plus
• You should be comfortable working with commercial or marketing datasets, including media, ecommerce, CRM, and pricing data
• You focus on creating outputs that drive impact and decisions rather than just reporting for its own sake
• You have a demonstrated ability to explain complex analytical findings in simple, non-technical language for stakeholders
• You value automation, shared frameworks, and high standards of data quality and reproducibility
