Remote role!! Newly created position, reporting into the CFO who is an excellent mentor and leader, ready to take this person to the next level in their career. Hands on role for a growing and scaling business!

As our Company continues to grow, we’re seeking an Accounting Manager to lead our day-to-day accounting function, strengthen our finance/accounting operations, and help support The Company’s next stage of growth.

Digital Performance Analyst

Performance Analytics Team | Chicago, IL | Hybrid (In Office Schedule) | Early Career

Company Overview

Our client is a performance marketing agency rewriting how brands invest in growth, replacing backward looking reporting with forecasting that predicts revenue before a single dollar is spent. Powered by more than three decades of performance first experience, over $100 million in media managed, and a proprietary AI powered predictive intelligence platform, the firm helps national brands plan, buy, and optimize across media, TV, and creative with a level of confidence few agencies can match. The team pairs the agility of an independent, privately held shop with analytical firepower usually found only at much larger organizations, and its culture rewards curiosity, critical thinking, and people who question the data rather than take it at face value. With a client retention rate north of 90 percent and an analytics practice at the center of its next chapter of growth, the company is looking for a Digital Performance Analyst to help turn complex cross channel data into the insights that keep clients ahead of their markets.

Position Overview

This is a rare early career opportunity to build deep analytics expertise fast, working shoulder to shoulder with the VP of Performance Analytics on the agency’s flagship account from day one. You will own the digital performance story for your accounts across paid search, paid social, programmatic, and streaming video, then grow into the cross channel and predictive measurement work, including attribution, incrementality, and marketing mix modeling, that powers the firm’s forecasting platform. It is a highly visible seat: your analysis will directly shape how multi million dollar media budgets are allocated, and your recommendations will be presented to clients and senior internal teams, giving you exposure and impact most analysts wait years to earn. As automation and AI take over routine reporting, this role is built for someone who wants to think, not just pull numbers, with a clear runway to become a cross channel and predictive measurement expert as the analytics practice scales.

Position Responsibilities

• Own the digital performance analysis and reporting for assigned accounts across Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Ads, and DV360 or other DSPs, contributing to the broader cross channel view.
• Build and QA dashboards for digital KPIs (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CVR, assisted conversions) and lead generation metrics such as leads, calls, and enrollments.
• Keep tracking and data integrity clean so the data feeding the predictive platform holds up, flagging quality issues and validating tracking with the media and web teams.
• Explore and validate data using SQL and AI assisted tools, applying judgment to question and confirm model outputs rather than accepting them at face value.
• Turn data into clear, client ready stories and recommendations, presenting credibly to clients and to internal media and account teams.
• Design and interpret audience, creative, landing page, and conversion tests.
• Support attribution and incrementality work, growing into TV, call tracking, and marketing mix modeling over time.

Position Qualifications

Required:

• A track record of turning data into insights and clear recommendations, ideally within a fast paced agency or client environment (strong internship experience counts).
• One to three years of experience in digital marketing analytics or business analytics.
• Hands on experience across the major ad platforms, Google Ads at minimum, plus exposure to Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads, DV360, or other DSPs.
• Ability to build and QA dashboards in a modern BI tool (Tableau, Looker, or Power BI) and to explore and validate data with SQL and AI assisted tools.
• Familiarity with web analytics (GA4 or Adobe) and tag or pixel tracking (Google Tag Manager, Floodlight, Meta Pixel).
• Strong client facing communication, with the ability to translate data into clear stories for non technical audiences, plus the curiosity and critical thinking to question and validate AI and model outputs.
• Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship and able to work a hybrid schedule from the Chicago office.

Preferred:

• A digital media platform expert looking to move into analytics, for example someone who ran paid media at a smaller shop and built their own reporting.
• Interest in predictive, forward looking measurement such as marketing mix modeling, incrementality, and forecasting.
• Exposure to cross channel and offline measurement, including linear or connected TV and call tracking, plus A/B and landing page testing.
• Comfort using AI and agentic tools to speed analysis, with basic version control (Git) habits.
• An undergraduate degree in marketing, business analytics, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent hands on experience.

Our client is the largest minority-owned out-of-home installation company in the country, with more than 30 years of organic growth and a nationwide footprint spanning six markets, with a seventh on the way. As the final operational step before an ad campaign goes live, this company has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and the kind of hands-on expertise that major national advertisers and printers depend on. The culture is genuinely family-oriented, with a leadership style that trusts people to own their work and bring fresh ideas to the table regardless of tenure.

• Based in or willing to commute to the Los Angeles area, with comfort working in the field and flexibility for occasional evening or weekend availability as client and project needs require.

• Familiarity with specialty graphics installs involving curved, textured, or non-flat surfaces.

As the agency expands its performance marketing practice, it is looking for an Associate Director, Paid Social to help accelerate growth and results across a diverse client roster.

Position Overview

This is a rare seat for a performance marketer who wants to own both the strategy and the execution rather than choose between them. You’ll shape the paid social agenda for your accounts, manage the spend, build and run the campaigns yourself, and answer for the numbers, all while holding a strategic voice at the client table. The visibility is real: you’ll steer performance reviews with clients, turn complicated media results into plain-language business impact, and help win new work through pitch contributions. With Meta at the center of your remit and room to stretch into search and programmatic across the book of business, the role gives you a genuine runway to deepen your craft and grow toward senior leadership as the practice scales.

Position Responsibilities

• Set the paid social direction for your account and carry it through to execution, leading on Meta while staying fluent across other major platforms such as Pinterest, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

• Handle campaigns hands-on inside the platforms, from initial build and quality checks through pacing, optimization, and the reporting that comes out the other end.

• Own the performance story with clients: walk them through what the numbers say, why they moved, and where the next round of investment should go.

• Team up with the data and analytics group to produce reporting that ties results back to objectives and the broader strategy.

• Turn shifts in platform features and audience behavior into specific recommendations clients can act on, not just trends to note.

Position Qualifications

• A proven history of driving measurable performance through paid social at an agency, with results you can point to.

• Roughly six to eight years in performance marketing weighted heavily toward paid social, including time spent agency-side.

• Deep, current command of Meta, plus the range to toggle between doing the work in-platform and steering strategy as each situation demands.

• Clear, persuasive communication, including a knack for making media performance make sense to people outside the media world.

• Sharp analytical instincts and a detail-driven approach to tracking the metrics that matter.

• A self-directed, well-organized operator who troubleshoots independently, manages up, and pulls teams together.

Preferred

• Hands-on paid search and/or programmatic experience alongside paid social.

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.

Location: Hybrid role based in Chicago, with three days per week in the office and occasional travel as needed.
