Additionally, this leader is responsible for leadership development with IGB Analytics to ensure the org has capacity to further scale. This leader will serve on Instagram’s core analytics leadership circle to help improve cross-Instagram Analytics team processes such as recruiting, training, and performance management, and will work closely with senior-most ads leadership across Monetization and Facebook app, as well. You will enjoy working with one of the richest data sets in the world, cutting edge technology, and the ability to see your insights turned into real products on a regular basis. The perfect candidate will have strong product intuition, experience with ads, experience building and managing analytics teams, will have worked with large data stores, and experience building software.
