This leader will also play a critical role in our AI roadmap, identifying opportunities for AI agents, automation and intelligent workflows that move our organization beyond experimentation and into meaningful, scalable adoption. The Director will oversee the Analytics team, strengthen how we turn data into actionable business and marketing intelligence, and own the strategy and development of scalable products that improve how our teams and clients work.

Partner with the data management team to evaluate models, platforms and architectures for AI product development. Establish frameworks for testing, measuring and scaling AI use cases. Ensure AI solutions are developed with appropriate governance, data privacy, security and human oversight. Help teams move from simply "using AI" to fundamentally redesigning how work gets done. Analytics Leadership Oversee and develop the Analytics department, establishing a high standard for strategic thinking, insights and client delivery. Oversee analytics strategy across client accounts, including campaign measurement, audience analytics, attribution, experimentation and advanced measurement. Ensure analytics moves beyond reporting to clear answers around the impact of marketing campaigns and audiences.
