About the role
- As a senior member of the team you'll also mentor junior field scientists and help evolve how we do this work.
- This seat is in Chicago because a concentration of our most strategic enterprise accounts is here, and this work does not happen over video.
- This is the chance to work on what replaces it.
Responsibilities
- Design and execute complex field studies that test hypotheses about marketing effectiveness and validate Alembic's transformational value.
- Lead data collection and requirements gathering with senior customer stakeholders, treating each engagement as a scientific research opportunity.
- Develop and test hypotheses about marketing performance, using experimental design principles to structure customer engagements.
- Serve as the scientific presence on the ground for Chicago-area accounts - building the working relationships with analytics, media, and finance teams that let a study actually get the data it needs.
- Collaborate with Enterprise AEs and Product to align research methodology with strategic objectives and ensure scientific rigor supports the sales process.
- Drive scalable research processes and best practices across the field science team.
- Mentor and develop junior field scientists in experimental design and analytical method.
Requirements
- Deep experience with data platforms, cloud infrastructure, or AI solutions.
- First-mover advantage: You'll be proving something that has never existed before, which is a real edge in every analytical conversation you have.
Nice to have
- Background at a measurement or market-research firm, a media or creative agency, or the analytics function of a large advertiser.
- Field studies or research implementations for data, cloud, or AI in a marketing context.
- Familiarity with enterprise procurement and security review processes.
- Startup or high-growth experience scaling research methodology.
- Advanced technical certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional) or expert-level AI/ML training.
- Exposure to value engineering, ROI modeling, and business case development.
- Previous startup or founder experience.
- You want work that is both scientifically challenging and tied to a real customer need, with major upside against a massive market, while mentoring the next generation of analytical talent.
Compensation
- $10k-$100k
Benefits
- Series B momentum, real ownership: Meaningful equity at a Series B company that's raised $145M, with proven product-market fit and Fortune 100 traction.
