Role overview
Analyze what clients spend across paid search, shopping, and paid social, what the spend delivers, and where returns are weak or unclear.
Own models, reconciliations, and written portfolio-performance analysis, and discuss findings with clients.
Work across performance-improvement and digital-strategy mandates, often for family groups and holding companies with several brands.
What you will do
- Build paid-channel spend and return models, reconciling platform data against finance figures.
- Prepare portfolio reviews showing margins by channel, brand, and market, with assumptions documented.
- Meet client teams to understand campaign briefing, purchasing, and measurement and identify discrepancies in reported figures.
- Write clear analysis and recommendations for mandate documents and board papers.
- Test management plans and paid-demand forecasts, identifying assumptions that do not hold.
- Support implementation by tracking agreed client changes and their costs.
What the role requires
- Commercial quantitative-analysis experience in consulting, in-house strategy, finance, or performance marketing for a business with real spend.
- Comfort with paid search and paid social reporting, including gaps between attribution models and finance ledgers.
- Strong spreadsheet and modeling skills and willingness to work with unclean client data.
- Clear writing in English; Arabic is useful for interviews and source documents but is not required.
- Sound judgment about when the evidence supports action and when it does not.
Decision-making and success
- Own the analysis and first draft of the view; the principal signs off on client-facing work.
- Raise unresolved questions early rather than presenting a range that obscures weak evidence.
- Success includes running a paid-demand review end to end and presenting findings to a management committee.
- Clients should leave with a trusted, maintainable view of their spending, and principals should be able to rely on defensible analysis.
Employment arrangement
- Permanent, full-time position based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Workplace
- Hybrid arrangement in Riyadh, working across mandates and participating in client meetings.
