Key job responsibilities
As an Economist leader within the Advertising Incrementality Measurement (AIM) science team, you are responsible for defining and executing on key workstreams within our overall causal measurement science vision. In particular, you can lead the development of experimental methodologies to measure ad effectiveness, and also build observational models that lay the foundations for understanding the impact of individual ad touchpoints for billions of daily ad interactions. You will work on a team of Applied Scientists, Economists, and Data Scientists, alongside a dedicated Engineering team, to work backwards from customer needs and translate product ideas into concrete science deliverables. You will be a thought leader for inventing scalable causal measurement solutions that support highly accurate and actionable insights--from defining and executing hundreds of thousands of RCTs, to developing an exciting science R&D agenda. You will be working with massive data and industry-leading partner scientists, while also interfacing with leadership to define our future vision.
