Company Overview
Marketing Evolution has been recognized by Forrester as the industry leader in marketing optimization due to our big-data, person-centric, decision-making SaaS platform. This platform enables our customers to analyze the impact of their media, message and marketing mix while in-flight, and to optimize while in-flight, thereby driving demonstrably improved campaign performance. Our customers – including many Fortune 500 brands – choose Marketing Evolution because they recognize the value of moving beyond the aggregated and backward-looking limitations of marketing mix and attribution models. Due to very fast growth, we are hiring at all levels; but know that our preference is always to promote from within.
Position Overview
At Marketing Evolution, we are organized by “pods” that are aligned with specific customers; each pod has an Account Manager (responsible for revenue) and a Marketing Optimization Team (responsible for customer success). The Marketing Optimization Team sits at the nexus of big data, marketing, SaaS, and fact-based decision making to deliver an evolving stream of value for our customers. Our ideal candidates are jazzed about the art and science of marketing analytics, are superb at project management, are passionate about product development, are fascinated by the geeky details that go into person-centric, multi-touch attribution models, are top-notch communicators with an innate ability to convey complex concepts in simple terms, and thrive on the opportunity to directly impact competitive advantage for our customers.
Responsibilties
• Expertise: you will become an expert on our person-based optimization methodology;
• Project management: responsible for the many data inputs, analytics, and processes that support each customer’s engagement;
• SaaS: execute and interpret optimizations via our SaaS platform, and proactively drive customer usage and feature adoption to ensure the full benefit of our platform;
• Customer success: guide customers toward fact-based decisions that will improve campaign performance, encourage them to plan and execute test-and-learns, manage customer expectations, and help identify and prioritize their learning agenda;
• Process improvement: actively engage in ongoing process improvement to continually drive greater quality, consistency, efficiency, profitability, and ultimately customer satisfaction.

• Knowledge of traditional and digital media planning concepts and ecosystems;
• Experience in the mar-tech industry and/or digital advertising;
• Knowledgeable about marketing mix modeling, attribution, and/or advertising effectiveness (but you don’t need to be a modeler or statistician);

• Ability to focus on what matters and not get lost in the weeds when looking at a lot of very interesting data;

Metrics for Success
All employees have annual career growth goals based on their position and core skills/development areas; team members receive performance reviews bi-annually
Customer satisfaction and the ability to drive large efficiency gains are the most important measures of success
Marketing Evolution Cultural Values
We seek candidates who are excited to work at a company with the following cultural values:
• Disrupt the norm: Cherish the opportunity to find better ways to do things, regardless of how disruptive or initially painful it might be.
• Dissent then execute: Raise issues and fixes in the planning stage, but when it’s time to execute, execute diligently and without reservation.
• Test and learn: When developing new processes or features, link it to a hypothesis, and evaluate that hypothesis without bias.
• Nothing is impossible: Imagine what’s possible and then have the discipline to execute it. One without the other is not valuable.
• Defect is treasure: Every mistake is an opportunity for the organization to learn and make improvements.
• Share success: Given how hard it is to promote change in our industry, celebrate each success along the way.
