Marketing Science Director, Performance Verticals
New York, NY; Menlo Park, CA
About the Position
The Facebook platform offers marketers limitless opportunities to reach consumers across the globe. The same properties that make the Facebook platform an ideal place for marketing also make the platform an ideal place to conduct Marketing Science work, including measurement and auction consulting. The Vertical Marketing Science Director is charged with managing a team that consults with clients to measure the return of marketing investments, as well as develop next generation measurement systems and marketing best practices. The Director will also inform Facebook marketing science strategy development and go-to market strategy. This strategy will include industry-specific application of tools, resource allocation, development of third party partnerships, case study development, and thought leadership.
This position will work with internal and external stakeholders to advise clients and the industry on measurement and auction strategy and work with them on an ongoing basis to adopt better measurement as a way to improve business performance. To accomplish this, the Director will drive industry adoption of Facebook preferred measurement methods and products and design and execute empirical analysis for individual clients and at the industry-level.
Driving good measurement with clients will require the Director’s team to design tests (using experiments and modeling techniques), meta-analysis, and other research to help clients understand and improve the effectiveness of their advertising across digital platforms and across media. Conclusions from this work will showcase what good measurement is and how a client can act upon it to drive business impact.
In some cases, the existing measurement products and approaches will not be a perfect fit for clients, industry verticals, or countries. In these cases, the Director will focus on customizing existing capabilities or in some cases piloting new, scalable capabilities in partnership with cross-functional groups.
