About The Position

Hearst is seeking a hybrid data analyst and ad-tech expert to act as a force multiplier for our programmatic strategy. You’ll bypass rigid dashboards to dive into partner and log-level data, surfacing high-value insights across a footprint reaching hundreds of millions of users. Partnering with our engineering and BI teams, you will sit at the bleeding edge of addressability, dynamic optimization, and audience generation. If you want the autonomy to build robust data products and the runway to make a massive impact on a digital media giant, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

Experience: 5+ years in a senior analyst, BI, or yield role within an advertising environment.
Education: Quantitative degree (Math, Engineering, Stats, Econometrics, or Data Science).
Ad-Tech Fluency: Deep understanding of GAM, DSPs, SSPs, header bidding, and inventory optimization.
Technical Chops: Advanced SQL and Python. Ability to manipulate massive datasets and optimize for BigQuery performance.
Anti-Fragility Mindset: You build things to last and naturally gravitate toward automating and bulletproofing workflows.
Autonomous Execution: You don’t wait for a Jira ticket; you make independent analytical decisions that drive revenue strategy.

Responsibilities

Drive Strategic Yield: Proactively hunt down issues, bidder discrepancies, and pricing inefficiencies by diving into raw, partner-level data.
Cut Through the Noise: Build your own queries and scripts to bypass slow dashboards. Your goal is 90% insights, 10% data-gathering.
Build the Future of Ad Tech: Hands-on involvement in log-level analytics, addressability, and dynamic ad optimization.
Translate Data to Dollars: Speak fluent "engineering" to data teams and fluent "revenue" to executives, turning complex findings into actionable forecasts.
Scale with AI: Use LLMs and automation to scale revenue analysis while acting as the "human-in-the-loop" for statistical integrity.
Eliminate Technical Debt: Build optimized, clean internal data products and reproducible workflows rather than brittle, ad-hoc scripts.
