Manager, Data Analytics
Job Location:
Corporate IndianapolisSimon Media & Experiences (SME) is building the next phase of its programmatic media business — and analytics is central to that growth. We are looking for a Manager, Data Analytics to help build and scale a modern programmatic analytics and reporting ecosystem that directly drives revenue, pricing, and yield optimization.
This is a newly created role with meaningful ownership and visibility, ideal for a programmatic analytics leader who enjoys both building foundations and optimizing performance.
What You’ll Be Great At
Turning complex programmatic and revenue data into actionable insights that drive measurable revenue outcomes.
Understanding programmatic media ecosystems — inventory dynamics, demand performance, pacing, yield, pricing floors, CPMs, and monetization optimization.
Building scalable analytical models and dashboards that support sales, operations, and executive decision‑making.
Designing modern, automated, audit‑ready reporting using advanced Excel, Power BI, and a modern analytics toolset (e.g., SQL, Power Query, Python, Salesforce, or similar).
Applying financial fundamentals (revenue recognition, accruals, variance analysis) to media and advertising data.
Communicating insights clearly to non‑technical stakeholders in ways that influence pricing, yield, and go‑to‑market strategy.
Thriving in fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environments where analytics directly impacts commercial performance.
What You’ll Do
Help build SME’s programmatic analytics and reporting ecosystem from the ground up, establishing scalable, data‑driven decision‑making.
Design, maintain, and evolve dashboards and analytical models supporting programmatic revenue growth, yield optimization, and pricing strategy.
Integrate data from multiple sources, transform it into reliable models, and deliver insights that directly support revenue performance.
Provide visibility into programmatic revenue, pacing, pipeline health, and performance trends for sales and leadership.
Analyze weekly and monthly performance metrics to identify trends, risks, and monetization opportunities.
Partner closely with sales and operational teams to ensure analytics informs pricing decisions, yield optimization, and go‑to‑market execution.
Drive automation and process improvements that reduce manual reporting and improve accuracy and consistency.
We value pragmatic, scalable tools that drive outcomes over rigid technology requirements.
