About This Job
The Brands Ad Analyst is a critical partner to the Dutchie Ads sales team, sitting at the intersection of data analytics, client services, and digital advertising strategy. This role is responsible for equipping the sales team with the data and narratives they need to win new business and retain existing clients. You will build compelling, data-driven stories that demonstrate the impact of advertising on Dutchie’s platform, deliver strategic recommendations for campaign optimization, and serve as a trusted analytical voice in client-facing conversations.
