We are looking for an experienced Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM) practitioner to join our Marketing Science & Effectiveness team. This is an opportunity to take ownership of high-impact client programmes, applying your expertise to shape how leading brands measure and optimise marketing performance. You will act as the central driver of projects; defining analytical approach, shaping inputs into modelling, interpreting outputs, and translating these into clear, commercially relevant recommendations. Working closely with clients and collaborating with cross-functional teams across our global distributed delivery model, you will bridge data, modelling, and business context to ensure high-quality, impactful outcomes. This is a hands‑on role combining strong client partnership skills with analytical delivery, requiring a high degree of ownership and autonomy.

Job goals

  • Lead MMM engagements end-to-end, owning delivery from data inputs through to insight generation and final client recommendations that drive client impact and commercial success.
  • Own day‑to‑day client relationships, building trusted partnerships and translating business questions into clear analytical approaches and actionable marketing recommendations.
  • Ensure modelling inputs and outputs are robust by reviewing, shaping, and challenging data, assumptions and results to support credible decision making.
  • Define and refine media frameworks and channel structures to ensure modelling reflects marketing activity and enables meaningful, decision‑ready insights.
  • Convert modelling outputs into commercially compelling ROI stories, including optimisation scenarios and budget allocation recommendations.
  • Coordinate cross‑functional teams across a global distributed delivery model, ensuring alignment between data, modelling, and client priorities throughout delivery.

Ideal skills and experience

  • Strong experience contributing to or leading MMM programmes or similar analytical projects, with the ability and readiness to take ownership of end‑to‑end delivery.
  • Ability to interpret complex analytical outputs and communicate clear, commercially relevant recommendations that support marketing and investment decisions.
  • Experience working with media and sales data, with the confidence to review, challenge, and shape inputs and outputs to ensure robust modelling outcomes.
  • Strong client management skills, with experience building trusted relationships and delivering a high‑quality, effective client experience.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross‑functional project‑based teams and manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced distributed delivery environment.
  • Strong understanding of marketing effectiveness and measurement, with experience across sectors such as FMCG, Retail, Financial Services or Media.
