The Associate Director, Reporting at 829 leads the function that turns measurement data into the analysis, visualization, and narrative our clients use to make decisions. You'll work directly with client accounts from SMB to Enterprise to translate performance data into insights, compelling stories, and recommendations that drive renewal and growth. This role is responsible for a portfolio of key accounts and builds the reporting systems, templates, and playbooks the rest of the team uses to deliver at quality across the full book. This is a player/coach role anchored in communicating complex analysis in simple and digestible ways. You'll write SQL alongside the team, audit dashboards and reporting models for structural integrity, troubleshoot integrations when they break, and partner with engineering on the warehouse and ETL work that supports custom client reporting. We're hiring an analytics leader with agency experience -- someone who pairs executive-grade narrative with the technical fluency to direct the work, not a manager who delegates everything and not a data engineer without the agency storytelling chops. This role will operate within SaaS reporting tools (Supermetrics, Looker, Sigma) and Apollo, 829's proprietary data consolidation platform. Apollo is owned separately by the Head of Apollo, who you will partner with to achieve both standardized and bespoke reporting objectives. You're Apollo's informed customer and product partner -- shaping its reporting roadmap, surfacing platform requirements driven by real client needs, and coordinating with the platform team on client-specific reporting layers. You must be comfortable operating across the spectrum from boilerplate Looker Studio suites to bespoke Sigma environments and custom reporting frameworks, and raising the storytelling and clarity bar across all of it. You must be comfortable being scrappy, resourceful, and hands-on, operating cross-functionally with Director-level service leads across paid, earned, and owned channels and account management / strategy. Insights you produce will land with senior client stakeholders at VP-and-above altitude. What You'll Do Client Storytelling & Narrative (35%) - Executive Storytelling: Lead the narrative for key QBRs, renewals, pitches, and post-campaign reporting -- the analysis that drives decisions, not just the dashboard. - Reporting-Mode Discipline: Create a systemic approach to matching the reporting mode (boilerplate, semi-custom, fully bespoke) to each client's actual decision needs. - Storytelling Systems & Playbooks: Build the templates, narrative playbooks, and "so-what" review processes that scale storytelling craft across the full book of 400+ clients without diluting quality at key accounts. - Quality Bar: Own the standard for clarity, accuracy, and "so what" across all client reporting; create systems to review and elevate team output before it reaches clients. - Account Partnership: Translate performance data into the implications, recommendations, and decisions that drive renewal and growth. Show up in client-facing forums when senior moments require it. Custom Reporting & Technical Direction (30%) - Reporting Framework Design: Architect bespoke reporting structures for clients whose measurement needs exceed productized options -- custom data structures, tailored visualization environments (Sigma, Tableau, custom), and the analytical logic underneath. Partner with engineering on the technical implementation. - Hands-On Analytics: Write SQL alongside the team; audit dashboards, queries, and reporting models for structural integrity; refactor and raise the technical quality bar across the function. - Integration & ETL Coordination: Coordinate with internal and external engineering on data warehousing and ETL work that supports custom client reporting. Troubleshoot integrations when they break; partner credibly with engineers on architecture decisions affecting the reporting layer. - Apo
