You’ll analyze data and make recommendations to improve website goals based on that analysis.

You should be certified by Google Academy for Analytics and Tag Manager. You should have a strong understanding of SEO including keyword research, best practices for websites, and general best practices. Your alignment with our client promises and core values (both listed here) and your ability to demonstrate positive results are key.

We are actively working to build and maintain a diverse and inclusive roster of team members. If you believe you would add value to our team but don’t meet all the criteria listed here, we would still love to hear from you. Please explain the value you would bring in your application.
