Director Insight Measurement Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Opportunity

Brunswick Group is seeking a Director to join our Insight team, focused on evaluating the effectiveness of integrated communications campaigns and communications activity. Based in New York or Washington, D.C., this role will play a central part in how Brunswick defines, measures, and learns from communications activity performance, combining campaign data, primary research, and strategic judgment to inform client decision-making.

The role also requires active and responsible use of AI tools and large language models (LLMs) to enhance analysis, synthesis, and insight generation.
