 Manager of Web Analytics
Location: Princeton, NJ - $75k to $100k

This old school, traditional publishing & media giant is entering the web analytics world and this is your chance to leverage their huge brands into the online world.  They installed Omniture about six months ago and have invested in some top notch measurement & reporting tools.  Your job would be to make sense of the tons of data that they are now generating, manage an analyst that would do a lot of the time consuming, labor intensive reporting and work with marketing & sales managers to figure out how to help them grow their business using the data that is now (or could be) available.  Great "full-life-cycle" opportunity - a BIG resume builder.
Supervisor 
Location: NY - $90k to $130k

This top interactive agency is aggressively growing their digital marketing analytics capabilities nationally to support blue chip ecommerce and financial services clients. They are a subsidiary of the largest media company in the world (great resources, great talent, great clients, deep pockets, etc.). They are currently searching for a Supervisor for their NY office and they are primarily focusing on candidates that are analysts or senior analysts for competing interactive agencies.  This is a HUGE opportunity for a promotion, a major pay increase, a more strategic role and an opportunity to join a truly top notch organization with real intermediate-term growth opportunities. 
Manager of Analytics 
Location: Los Angeles, CA - $90k to $110k

This client is a mid-sized ad agency based in Long Beach, CA.  They are about 250 people total, but they have bult a solid web analytics group of six.  This position is managing the group and working with their top few clients on helping to refine their overall marketing strategy to a more measurable, consistent approach.  Their primary interactive clients are in the automotive space, but they are growing into other verticals as well.  Good opportunity for a senior analyst that wants to be in the Long Beach area to step up into a Manager role and have a lot of visibility and influence.
Senior CRM Analyst 
Location: Chicago, IL - $90k+

This world-class retailer is looking for talented analysts with heavy statistical / quantitative backgrounds to break new ground in multi-channel marketing analysis.  This is tough group with a very demanding VP, but it is one of the best environments in the country if you want to be cutting edge in marketing analytics.  4 years of experience minimum requirement. 
 SVP / Solutions Architect
Location: New York, NY - $250k

This client is one of the top direct marketing agencies in the world. They are looking for a SVP-level marketing professional to take on a regional CMO- type role in NY. The position would be responsible for constructing and managing cross-functional teams (analytics, strategy, IT, etc.) for full life cycle of client engagements - pitch through to delivery. It is a unique role and ideal for a senior-level analytics professional that has broader experience to leverage.
 Best Practices Consultant
Location: Anywhere, USA

Our client has had strong market share in the offline markting analytics world for years. Through acquisitions and internal development they are expanding into the web analytics space with a unique and robust product offering. They are looking for web analytics professionals to work with clients to establish and execute sound online marketing strategies. Must be a web analytics "guru" and have excellent client-facing skills. May be located anywhere (work remotely) and travel 40%.
 Senior Consultant
Location: New York, NY - $90k to $120k

This top agency conglomerate has recently reorganized all of their marketing analytics teams into one centralized unit that services cross-channel account teams in interactive, direct marketing & media.  They have also created a separate web analytics team as a subset and they are in the process of staffing that team.  The team would be 3-5 people initially.  They would be based out of NYC and managed by this Senior Consultant.  The role would be 40% management of internal resources and practice development / 60% client-facing.  Great opportunity for someone to step up out of a Senior Analyst role. 
 Consultant
Location: New York, NY - $80k to $100k

This position is on the same team descibed above in the "Senior Consultant" description.  The role is essentially a heavy client-facing role that is steeped in strategy with very little (10-30% depending on the circumstances) reporting / tool mgmt.  The opportunity is really to step into a world class brand with an opportunity to be a founding member of their web analytics group.  There is also a very cool (and somewhat unusual) opportunity to broaden your experience beyond the web channel as this group is part of their global marketing analytics group which crosses over and services clients in all of their businesses (direct marketing, traditional, media & interactive).
