Marketing & Analytics Manager

Taoti is looking for a Marketing & Analytics Manager

Taotis tag line is We move the needle. Which is to say were all about making a meaningful and measurable impact.

Marketing without those measurable analytics is a crap shoot. But marketing based on data and that evolves as result of what the ongoing analytics tell us is effective. Those analytics not only guide the strategies but they also let us know how were doing in real measurable ways.

This job is mostly about the measurable part of our brand ethos. Yes its a marketing job first and foremost. But with a heavy emphasis on the data and analytics part of marketing. Your job is to pour over the data to guide marketing strategies. And to continue to pour over that data to figure out how were doing where we can improve whats working whats not etc. We often think of it as a data storytelling role so how you present the data and the analysis and recommendations you derive from that data is as important as the data itself.

Since AI is all the rage these days lets address that elephant in the room

Probably in your realm more than most AI has the ability to dramatically leverage your efforts and let you do things that you might otherwise not be able to doat least not on your own. Sure it will boost your productivity by handling some of the legwork that used to take a lot of hours. But more importantly it will also enable you to find patterns anomalies and create the sort of visual interpretations of the data that most marketing/data analysis dont traditionally have in their bag of tricks. We dont consider AI chops a nice to have skillset for this role. Its a job requirement. (Tip: talk to us about how youre using AI in your application. And be specific. Anyone can name drop the typical AI platforms. But we want to know how youre actually using those tools to do the work!)

Logistics

This is a full-time W2 role based out of our Washington DC office. We do offer a flexible telework policy that gives you roughly a day per week of telework (but you can accrue telework and use it as you see fit just like PTO).

Whats the corporate culture like

Fun but focused as one Taoti put it is a great way to sum up our culture. Were a fun and casual shop. The kind of place where you can wear whatever come and go as you please and have autonomy over your own day for the most part. But we take the work seriously and believe deep in the mission to makemeaningful and measurableimpacts for our clients. All the perks and shenanigans and borderline irreverent tone are fun but to really fit in here you need to beabout the work.

We also believe in total transparency and open communication across teams and across ranks. Instead of chain-of-command we want everyone to have and share their own voice. The CEO holds CafeClutchesjust so he can hear ideas and feedback directly from the team instead of through the filter of management.
