What will you do?

This is a Marketing Data Analyst role within the Marketing Department, reporting directly to the Director of Marketing. You will own the measurement and reporting of marketing performance across the full customer funnel, from first touch through subscription and revenue. You’ll build and maintain dashboards, design event tracking schemas, manage customer data and automation scenarios within our CDP, and work within data warehouses to extract and transform the data that powers our decision-making. Your analysis will flow directly to the Director of Marketing to inform strategy, resource allocation, and tactical adjustments across every marketing channel.

How You’ll Make An Impact

We are seeking a detail-oriented, technically skilled analyst who can turn fragmented data into a clear, unified picture of what’s driving growth and what isn’t. You’ll bring structure to our marketing measurement, close instrumentation gaps, and give leadership the confidence to make faster, smarter decisions. Your work will directly shape how we invest across channels, optimize our funnel, and scale a product that helps families navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives. If you thrive at the intersection of marketing strategy and data engineering, and you want your analysis to actually change how a team operates, this role was built for you.
