• Stakeholder Navigator: You can influence and lead in a matrixed organization, balancing the needs of commercial, legal, and technical teams.

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Partner with Data Science and Nielsen ONE teams to build unified data assets that work across on-site, off-site, and in-store environments.
• AI Roadmap Leadership: Define and execute an AI product strategy that leverages Nielsen’s proprietary data to power predictive attribution, automated campaign optimization, and generative insight tools for RMNs.
• Customer Discovery Lead structured customer discovery with agency, brand, publishers and platform partners, helping them integrate retail data to power shoppable ads and off-site attribution.
