  • You have a proven track record of working cross-functionally with product, sales, engineering, data science, and account management teams.
  • You’re highly organized and thrive in fast-paced environments, balancing multiple priorities with ease.

  • Partner with a Sales executive to develop a multi-product commercial model for a new client that enables them to drive value for their business.
  • Build out a strategic plan for growing Attain’s data feeds business in the next year through TAM expansion.
  • Articulate the technology nuances of Attain’s data feed product to technical client leaders across Data Science and Engineering.
  • Develop an analysis on existing internal datasets to identify fields that can be improved or added to existing products to strengthen client utility. 
  • Collaborate with Product and Strategy to design custom data solutions that meet clients’ specific needs.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong knowledge of the advertising, consumer insights, or data feeds industries
  • Hands-on experience with identity and data connectivity platforms, cleanrooms, and privacy-preserving data workflows (e.g., LiveRamp, Snowflake, InfoSum, or equivalent)
