Director of Data, Analytics + Market Research
About The Position
We're looking for a leader who can bring depth in either data & analytics or market research — not necessarily a unicorn who's equally elite at both. If you're a sharp analytics mind who can hold your own in a research conversation, or a seasoned researcher who's comfortable navigating dashboards and data infrastructure, we want to talk. What matters most is the ability to connect the dots between the two disciplines, lead a team that spans both, and translate their combined output into insights that move client marketing forward. You’ll strengthen how data and research work together at Meyocks — building on a strong collaborative foundation and helping the team deliver more integrated client insights. Summary The Director of Data & Analytics is a member of the Digital Delivery team at Meyocks, leading a small multidisciplinary team of marketing analysts and marketing researchers. This hands-on leadership role combines team development and strategic oversight with direct contribution to client work across marketing analytics, research, advanced analytics and performance insights. The ideal candidate brings leadership experience, with deep expertise in either marketing analytics or marketing research and working fluency across both disciplines. You will collaborate with account service, paid media, web development, creative, and leadership teams to turn data and research into insights that improve marketing strategy, execution and business outcomes. Success in this role requires intellectual curiosity, strong technical and analytical judgement and an AI-forward, experimentation-oriented mindset. The Director will actively explore emerging technologies, experiment with new approaches, and help the team responsibly apply AI, automation, and advanced analytics to improve the quality, speed, and impact of its work.
