About You

You are a curious investigator who views media data as a story waiting to be told. You aren’t satisfied with "what" because your primary interest is finding "why." As a creative and critical thinker, you thrive on "Aha!" moments and possess a natural ability to connect dots that others might miss.

You view technical tools (Tableau, DOMO, Power BI, Looker, etc.) as a vehicle for discovery. While technical proficiency is the baseline, your true impact comes from using that expertise to drive meaningful value for clients. You are familiar with methods like incrementality testing or difference-in-differences and view them as lenses used to uncover truth.

The Objective

This role is centered on delivering high-impact clarity through media data. You will design and deliver monthly reports, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and ad-hoc deep dives that contextualize media KPIs and connect execution to results. Your consistent, context-rich analysis and recommendations ensure our clients and internal teams are always one step ahead of the curve by moving past simple metrics to focus on true business outcomes. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Other duties may be assigned)

• Narrative Orchestration: Lead the creation of monthly reports and QBRs, transforming validated datasets into cohesive business stories that connect media execution to client-side outcomes.
• Investigative Consultant: Actively monitor performance to identify anomalies or trends; use media KPIs as triggers to proactively investigate the "why" and present critical explanations to both internal stakeholders and external clients.
• Strategic Foresight: Convert 'the why' into actionable media optimizations, providing Integrated Planning teams with clear directives on how to pivot strategy based on performance signals.
• Proactive Hypothesis Testing: Beyond standard monitoring, develop hypotheses for performance shifts and partner with the Governance team to surface the specific data cuts required to prove or disprove them.
• Integrated Collaboration: Serve as a core analytical partner for the Integrated Strategy & Planning and Campaign Operations teams, ensuring data insights are fueled by a deep understanding of the media context.
• Operational Feedback Loop: Act as a "User Experience" lead for agency dashboards, providing the Data Governance team with feedback on visualization clarity and data accessibility to ensure tools remain optimized for insight discovery.
• BI Platform Stewardship: Utilize BI software (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI, Looker Studio, DOMO) to design and maintain strategic visualizations that prioritize "insight-first" delivery over simple data display. Leverage the agency’s standardized data frameworks and RADaR-powered environments to ensure all strategic storytelling is built upon a foundation of absolute data integrity.
• Campaign Ecosystem Alignment: Advise on dataflow design to ensure backend data collection is optimized for high-level reporting and strategic visualization.
• Agency-Wide Elevation: Identify opportunities to improve internal measurement rigor, advocating for frameworks that move beyond standard reporting to track true business impact.

Qualifications - To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

• Experience: 1–3 years of experience in data analytics, digital media, or marketing science, preferably within an agency environment.
• Media Context: A foundational understanding of the advertising ecosystem, including how various digital channels (Search, Social, Programmatic) interact to drive results.
• Technical Literacy: Experience using at least one major BI software (Tableau, PowerBI, Looker Studio, DOMO, etc.) and comfort with data manipulation in Excel or Google Sheets.
• The "Curiosity" Factor: A self-starter attitude with a proven ability to look at a media data trend and proactively investigate the "why" behind the numbers. Ability to partner with technical leads to articulate data-layer requirements needed to support advanced analytical storytelling.
• Strategic Communication: Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into "human" language for non-technical audiences and executive leadership.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative or strategic field (Marketing Analytics, Statistics, Economics) or equivalent practical experience.

U.S. Compensation & Benefits  

Compensation at Inspire11 
Inspire11 follows Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Equal Wage Act, and the Illinois Equal Pay Act of 2003. We believe that people performing the same role at the same level, with similar levels of ability or experience, should be similarly compensated. We also believe that the most critical factors driving compensation should be an Eleven’s skill, experience, performance, responsibility, and effort. We may also consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job. We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s financial ability.   

Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made to their compensation.  

Bonuses 
We may allow employees in Sales, Recruiting, or Leadership to earn periodic bonuses based on sales, revenue, client-specific or practice-specific targets. These targets are communicated to each eligible employee via offer letter or annual update.

All periodic bonuses are discretionary and are earned only when paid out.   

Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team will grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment, and experience. To be eligible to participate in this annual bonus pool, an employee must be hired by no later than October 1st of the preceding year. Annual bonuses and merit increases may be prorated based on hire date. Employees eligible for target-based periodic bonuses are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus pool.
