Remote Weekend Data Analyst Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

About this team: 

As a Senior Commercial Exchange Analyst, you will be a critical bridge between auction intelligence and commercial execution. You will investigate auction-level dynamics, diagnose revenue leakage, and partner closely with the Vungle Exchange Commercial team to unblock revenue and optimize DSP outcomes. This role is highly analytical and business-facing: you will extract signals from noisy auction data, translate it into actionable recommendations, and collaborate with commercial and product stakeholders to implement changes.

Responsibilities: 

• Analyze auction data (bidding patterns, floors, traffic shaping, mediation) to identify performance drivers and commercial risks.
• Conduct deep-dive investigations into revenue fluctuations and DSP requests, separating technical from commercial root causes.
• Quantify the revenue impact of auction mechanics and surface opportunities for growth.
• Work hand-in-hand with the Vungle Exchange Commercial team to resolve DSP-facing blockers tied to exchange dynamics.
• Provide data-backed recommendations that balance publisher objectives with optimal auction outcomes.
• Support negotiations with insights that protect business outcomes and drive incremental revenue.
• Build and maintain monitoring frameworks to detect anomalies early and ensure fast triage.
• Standardize and automate recurring analyses.
• Document and communicate methodologies clearly for cross-functional teams.

Requirements: 

• B.A./B.S. in Analytics, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in analytics, strategy, or operations; AdTech or programmatic exchange experience strongly preferred.
• Deep understanding of programmatic auctions, SSP/DSP mechanics, and mediation platforms.
• Hands-on experience with openRTB protocols, including interpreting bid requests/responses, auction dynamics, and understanding of post-auction and win-notification flows.
• VAST and MRAID familiarity, particularly how it related to oRTB spec
• Proven ability to connect rigorous data analysis to business priorities - translating complex auction dynamics into actionable insights that drive commercial outcomes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with large-scale datasets (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks).
• Comfortable leveraging modern AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making, demonstrating an AI-savvy approach.
• Familiarity with Python for data analysis, automation, and pipeline development is a plus.
• Clear communicator with the ability to translate complex concepts for both technical and commercial audiences, fostering strong cross-functional collaboration with Product, R&D, and Commercial teams
