Job Description

The Zenith Competitive Intelligence team delivers advertising intelligence that translates into actionable insights and marketplace advantage for our clients. Our work informs strategy, planning, and business decision-making by contextualizing competitive dynamics, media investment trends, and messaging strategies. 

As a Senior Analyst, you will own end-to-end Competitive Intelligence workstreams, transforming complex data into clear, business-focused insights. This role goes beyond reporting: success is defined by your ability to connect data to business context, develop a point of view, and translate findings into implications that support strategic decisions.

The Individual:

The Senior Analyst is an accountable owner of assigned Competitive Intelligence workstreams, operating with a high degree of independence. This role is responsible for managing work from intake through delivery, including intake communication, insight development, QA, and stakeholder communication/engagement. Senior analysts are expected to think critically about data, proactively identify patterns, risks, and opportunities, and ensure outputs are not only accurate but clearly tied to the business. 

Responsibilities

• Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive work forward
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills; able to move from data to insight to implication
• Clear communicator who can translate complex data into concise, stakeholder-ready narratives
• Highly detail-oriented with strong standards for accuracy and quality
• Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities
• Curious, proactive, and motivated to improve outputs and processes continuously 
• Own recurring reporting and ad hoc Competitive Intelligence analyses from intake through final delivery
• Analyze competitive data to identify trends, investment shifts, and messaging strategies
• Translate findings into clear insights, business implications, and strategic recommendations 
• Ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality across all deliverables (data, storytelling, and formatting) 
• Present Competitive Intelligence in internal and client-facing forums on a recurring (e.g. weekly) basis, clearly articulating key trends, shifts, and competitive activity, with a focus on surfacing timely, decision-relevant intelligence 
• Proactively identify risks, gaps, and opportunities with recommended next steps 
• Manage timelines and communicate status, dependencies, and risks proactively
• Partner cross-functionally to align outputs with broader business priorities and stakeholder needs 

Qualifications

• 2-3 years of experience in media strategy, media analytics, competitive intelligence, or related field
• Experience owning reporting or analysis end-to-end
• Strong proficiency in Excel, including data manipulation, QA validation, pivot tables, and managing large data sets 
• Exposure to Power Queries or working with large datasets
• Ability to connect data findings to business context and implications
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams
• Experience presenting preferred
• Familiar with Competitive Intelligence data (ex: Mensio, Media Monitors, or Nielsen)

What success looks like:

• Deliverables are accurate, clear, and consistently business-focused
• Insights go beyond reporting to explain drivers and implications
• Workstreams progress with minimal oversight 
• Risks, gaps, and caveats are surfaced proactively
• Stakeholders trust the Senior Analyst to own and drive work forward independently
