Job Description

We’re RPA: an independent advertising agency that puts People First.

Our People First philosophy means creating a culture where people like you can thrive, do meaningful work, and — we hope — stick around  for a while. In an industry known for high turnover, people at RPA seem to recognize the value of an environment that truly wants to support our Associates’ lives and career growth. 

Who You’ll Be Collaborating With 

Every day, you’ll be teaming up with a diverse, enthusiastic, multi-disciplinary team of professionals with a smart sense of humor and a strong desire to grow and develop.

• Lead advanced analytics projects to support strategic initiatives for Honda/Acura, working with large, complex datasets that connect media exposures with business outcomes (e.g., sales, leads).
• Write and optimize SQL queries to extract and join datasets in data clean room environments (e.g., LiveRamp, Habu), ensuring high data quality and integrity.
• Build data pipelines and automate workflows using ETL tools such as Domo or Alteryx.
• Develop predictive models and statistical forecasts to guide media investment and future campaign decisions.
• Create dynamic dashboards and compelling data visualizations in Tableau, Power BI, or Domo that effectively communicate performance insights to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate analytics into planning, creative, and strategy workflows.

How You’ll Excel in Your Role

• Experience in media analytics or marketing data science, preferably in an agency setting.
• Deep understanding of media KPIs and experience analyzing campaigns across programmatic, digital direct, social, and offline channels.
• Proficient in ad measurement tools such as CM360, DV360, Meta Ads Manager, and others.
• Strong fluency in SQL; comfortable querying cloud-based data platforms (e.g., Google BigQuery, AWS, Snowflake).

• Proficient in Python or R for data wrangling, statistical analysis, or automation (bonus points for experience with scikit-learn, pandas, or tidyverse).
• Experience working with ETL tools (Domo ETL, Alteryx) and building scalable data pipelines.
