About The Position

As an Associate Director of Analytics at Audible, you will drive the design, implementation, and delivery of Analytics solutions in the paid media problem space that will have a long-term impact on our business. You will deliver solutions that address customer and business problems in the marketing space (ROI measurement, experimentation, optimization, etc.) and directly impact the goals of our Marketing organization. In addition, you will raise the bar on already well-developed sets of analytic, economic, scientific, and financial frameworks that drive decisions across multiple marketing channels and product surfaces. With a “consulting mindset”, you will influence the organization towards adopting new approaches, concepts, and paradigms. You are proficient in SQL and Python with demonstrated experience delivering products or prototypes end-to-end (from conception, to design, to specification, to code, to test, to measurement, to presentation). You possess an in-depth knowledge of relevant data sources, business intelligence technologies, data science and analytical tools: you know what’s possible, in which direction to steer, and how to move fast with solutions, adjustments, and recommendations. You connect the dots and understand system inter-dependencies and limitations to build efficient solutions. You can frame hypotheses, decisions, and assumptions into a testable structure. You work fast, deliver reliably against your commitments, and have a strong handle on processes that enable your success. You have a business acumen that helps you speak fluently in your business partners’ language, helping them achieve or surpass their goals. You can break down complexity and find innovative solutions to cross-functional problems. You are a team player who is excited to collaborate with other analysts and scientists in our broader organization.
