Job Description

• Data Cleaning, Parsing & Standardization (Core Function) • Build Python (Pandas/Regex) workflows to extract structure from free-form Prisma text fields containing placements, publishers, formats, devices, tactics, etc. • Develop rule-based and pattern-based logic to recognize abbreviation variations, naming inconsistencies, and agency-specific formatting habits. • Create normalization scripts that standardize publisher names, platform types, channels, and other key taxonomies. • Maintain “classification dictionaries” and pattern libraries that improve accuracy over time. • Data Quality & Operational Support • Profile incoming agency data to identify common quality issues and propose concrete remediation. • Design QA checks to detect missing fields, malformed entries, inconsistent dimensional labels, and mismatched spend totals. • Partner closely with Data Engineering to embed your logic into scheduled pipelines. • Own recurring operational workflows that support data ingestion, aggregation, and quality monitoring. • Dimensional Enrichment, Modeling & Data Derivation • Build and maintain predictive models to support media spend forecasting, pricing analysis, and text classification for data tagging and enrichment. • Apply statistical modeling or regression techniques to impute missing values or infer incomplete spend or performance metrics. • Derive new fields—such as format groupings, platform classifications, creative types, and targeting attributes—using pattern recognition and model-based inference across text fields. • Produce structured dimensions from unstructured data to improve downstream reporting. • Document the logic and assumptions behind model-driven derivations to ensure transparency and reproducibility. • Analysis & Internal Stakeholder Support • Investigate anomalies, unexpected trends, and data gaps by tracing issues back to source fields. • Build dashboards that help internal teams observe data quality, volume, deviations, and model-driven insights. • Provide ad-hoc deep dives into digital spend patterns, forecast accuracy, and classification performance for product, ops, and leadership.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a Data Analyst or Data Operations Analyst.
  • Expert-level Python (Pandas, Regex) and SQL.
  • Experience extracting meaning from unstructured or text-heavy data.
  • Working knowledge of forecasting, regression, and basic statistical modeling (e.g., ARIMA, Prophet, linear regression, or similar methods).
  • Familiarity with text classification / NLP workflows (e.g., scikit-learn, spaCy, Hugging Face).
  • Awareness of AI-assisted development tools and basic understanding of generative AI / LLM concepts and their applications in data enrichment and automation.
  • Strong understanding of data hygiene, classification logic, and dimensional modeling.
  • Comfortable working in data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, etc.).
  • Ability to create repeatable, documented transformation logic.
