Senior Data Analyst

WE HAVE CREATED A WORLD WHERE ART AND SCIENCE ARE BEST FRIENDS

Known is what happens when a data science firm and a creative agency stop arguing and start collaborating. We were built from scratch with PhD data scientists and award-winning creatives working on the same briefs, from day one. That structure earned us an Ad Age #3 A-List ranking, back-to-back Data & Insights Agency of the Year wins, plus Emmys, Cannes Lions, Clios, and Effies across clients in finance, tech, entertainment, consumer goods, and real estate. We're distributed across the U.S. and unapologetically ambitious.

If you're tired of choosing between doing smart work and doing creative work, you'll fit right in here.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT US, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU

About the role:

Known is seeking Senior Data Analysts to work in our Skeptic and Data Consulting practices. This highly technical position involves advanced analytics, machine learning, and statistics. This is a hybrid role based in New York City.

The Data Consulting practice solves various challenging marketing and business problems for our clients, who span some of the world’s most famous brands across media, tech, entertainment, consumer products, and more. Known’s Skeptic team builds the tools that power Known’s media buying practice and elevate our clients' media campaigns. Our work ranges from predictive modeling/optimization to infrastructure development, and Skeptic’s data scientists and engineers are challenged daily to push the limits of advanced advertising.

Senior Data Analysts work closely with PhD-level data scientists, engineers, and other analysts, quickly learning the skills needed to deliver exploratory analyses, on-the-fly reports, machine learning results, data quality strategies, or production code.

Being a Senior Data Analyst at Known is a unique opportunity to take on increasing levels of responsibility, with our analysts often becoming expert data scientists, engineers, or team leaders.
