We're excited to be hiring for a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, independent marketing effectiveness agency that genuinely puts its people first.
This is a chance for someone who wants to be a bigger fish in a smaller sea to step into a role where you can truly make your mark, have real influence, and accelerate your career growth as we continue to scale.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Creating clear and insightful output decks for both internal stakeholders and client presentations

Experience & Skills Required
• Strong econometric modelling skills using tools such as R, Python, or other statistical software packages (e.g., EViews, SAS)
• Experience with model validation, diagnostics, and performance metrics
• Ability to handle large datasets, clean and transform raw data, and apply advanced statistical techniques such as regression, lag structures, adstock, saturation, and interaction effects
• The successful candidate will be expected to take full ownership of modelling projects, from raw data ingestion through to final model delivery and client-ready outputs, with minimal supervision.
