You will own the technical infrastructure that explains marketing performance, driving the development of automated tools (such as Streamlit apps, AI/agentic automation and reporting tools) that clearly articulate the drivers behind our growth. Rather than just reporting the financials, you will focus on the why to identify the highest-value opportunities within our Marketing Financials process. Ultimately working closely with the wider marketing, analytics, product and regional teams to bring those opportunities to execution and improvements.

Key Responsibilities

• Growth Driver Explanation: Build and maintain the infrastructure to explain marketing growth drivers, ensuring the wider business clearly understands the mechanics and the why behind our performance.
• Opportunity Identification & Execution: Proactively identify key opportunities within the Marketing Financials process and partner with the wider marketing and regional teams to bring these insights through to strategic execution.

• Successfully collaborate with stakeholders across Marketing and Regional teams, acting as the crucial bridge between identifying data-driven opportunities and executing them within the wider marketing context.
• Be a subject matter expert on technical infrastructure within the Marketing Analytics team, ensuring our systems are optimized for driver analysis and explanation rather than just standard reporting.
• Contribute to the overall analytics strategy, ensuring that tribe data and analytics are discoverable, leveraged, and heavily focused on actionable understanding.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building data products, such as Streamlit apps, custom internal tools, or AI-integrated workflows.
• Familiarity with AI-native development workflows and tooling (e.g., Cursor, Claude, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate the build of data products and automated agents.
