Marketing Science Partner - Global Clients & Agencies

Marketing Science's mission is to unlock the full potential of businesses on Meta platforms by transforming advertising performance and industry practices, through the use of data-driven analytical methods. Our Global Clients and Agencies (GCA) team fulfills this mission for our largest advertisers globally, and the world's largest agency holding companies. The Marketing Science GCA team is actively seeking an exceptional candidate to join as a full-time Marketing Science Partner focusing on our Global Agencies portfolio. We're looking for someone with strong analytical and critical thinking skills, deep expertise in marketing and advertising measurement and familiarity with large data sets and data manipulation tools. As a highly client-facing role, with interactions at the highest levels of our clients' organizations, we're also looking for someone with excellent communication and relationship building skills, in particular the ability to articulate complex concepts simply and succinctly, and the ability to effectively influence key decision makers. The successful candidate will own the primary measurement relationship with a small portfolio of global agency holding companies. The agencies in the team's portfolio are complex multi-faceted and/or geographically distributed businesses. Successfully influencing these businesses entails developing deep, trusted relationships with HQ teams and developing sophisticated global strategies, but also translating these strategies into effective regional and local execution in partnership with other Marketing Science teams. This position will likely include an element of international travel (10-20%).
