Manager, Data Science
Brainlabs is the media agency built to answer one question: what's actually driving profit? Founded in 2012 by Daniel Gilbert, we were built by engineers before we were a media agency. Today, 1,000+ Brainlabbères across five continents use our proprietary agents, built on 32 media tools and over 2,500 logged experiments, to help brands connect every channel they plan and buy to one thing: the bottom line.
As the Manager, Data Science, you will support the delivery of Google Meridian MMM projects and other data science engagements for Brainlabs clients, working closely with the Director of Data Science to produce technically rigorous, clearly communicated outputs.
