Marketing Performance Analyst

**This position is in-person at our Corporate Office in Farmington Hills, MI, and is not eligible for remote work.**

THE ROLE

This role is for someone who is comfortable working with data and equally comfortable presenting it to an owner. You will own the analytics function for our marketing department, which includes building and maintaining the KPI framework, producing regular reporting, and translating performance data into clear recommendations.

WHO YOU ARE

You have experience in a marketing analytics or reporting role and you know how to make data useful to people who are not in the weeds with you. You build reporting systems that get used consistently, not just once. You are organized, detail-oriented, and you follow through.

You are also comfortable in a professional conversation with a client and internal stakeholder. You come prepared, you communicate clearly, and you know when something needs to be escalated. You work well on a team that has defined roles and high standards, and you take ownership of your work without constant supervision.

Multifamily Residential Marketing experience is a preferred, but not required.
