Manager, Data Solutions | Growth Marketing Team

WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world. 

This is remote role, however you must be located within 50 miles of Los Angeles, CA to be considered. Please note, that we do not currently offer relocation support of any kind at this time.

About You

The future of digital media lies at the intersection of creative, media, content, data, and platforms. Understanding the impact of people, processes, and technology on these pillars is critical for advancing our clients’ digital maturity and ensuring we make faster, smarter decisions that drive tangible business outcomes. The ad-tech/mar-tech space is complex, and our goal is to simplify business challenges through integrated, best-in-class platform solutions.

As a Data Solutions Manager, you will own key stakeholder relationships and collaborate across client-side departments to design, develop, and operationalize data for digital analytics platforms such as—though not limited to—Google Analytics. You will play a hands-on leadership role in implementing and optimizing DMPs, CDPs, MTAs, media tracking, and tag management solutions, ensuring reliable data collection and actionable insights. In addition to tagging and tracking efforts, you will leverage your cloud technology knowledge (e.g., AWS, GCP) to guide data strategies and work closely with engineering teams on robust, scalable data pipelines and server-side integrations. You will also lead projects from inception to delivery—guiding both internal teams and clients through solution design, validation, and ongoing support.

We’re looking for someone innately curious about how technology and AI can help our clients thrive in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape. You believe in building tailored solutions—not just deploying platforms—to address challenges around automation, media & creative activation, and measurement. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to shape what a best-in-class Data Solutions practice looks like within a leading digital agency and spearhead collaborations with major tech partners such as Google, Amazon, and Meta. By bridging the gap between business objectives and technical execution, you will drive the next phase of digital transformation for our clients.
