Principal, Marketing & Measurement Analytics at Transparent Partners, Llc in Chicago, United States

Transparent Partners is an independent consultancy that specializes in enhancing customer experiences through a marketing lens. Our goal is to identify the unique mix of data, technology and operational processes that will empower brands to thrive in the ever changing marketing landscape.

This is not a traditional principal role.

We're looking for someone who can design and drive how work gets done—not just manage it.

As a Principal, you are responsible for turning complex, ambiguous client challenges into structured systems, workflows, and operating models. You don't just execute within a process—you define it.

You lead workstreams end-to-end, guiding teams to uncover how organizations actually operate, where breakdowns occur, and how to rebuild those systems in smarter, more effective ways.

This role is for someone who combines strong execution with emerging strategic thinking—someone who can move from problem to structure to action with confidence.

What You'll Do

Design and Lead Workstreams

Own end-to-end delivery of workstreams across engagements

Translate ambiguous client needs into clear plans, workflows, and outputs

Ensure work is structured, sequenced, and executed effectively

Uncover and Model How Work Happens

Lead discovery efforts to understand how teams operate, make decisions, and move work forward

Build current-state and future-state workflow models that expose inefficiencies and opportunities

Identify where processes should be improved vs. fundamentally redefined

Drive System-Level Improvements

Recommend and design better ways of working grounded in real constraints

Introduce and apply new tools, including AI-enabled approaches, to enhance workflows

Treat experimentation as a disciplined part of delivery

Deliver High-Quality, Actionable Outputs

Produce clear, structured deliverables that translate complexity into direction

Ensure outputs are practical, implementable, and aligned to client needs

Maintain high standards for quality, clarity, and usability

Lead and Elevate the Team

Mentor Senior Analysts and Analysts, helping them build systems thinking and problem structuring skills

Provide direction, feedback, and support across project teams

Contribute to a culture of curiosity, accountability, and continuous improvement

What We're Really Looking For

5–8 years of experience in consulting, marketing, analytics, or a related field

Strong systems thinker who can connect workflows, decisions, and outcomes

Proven ability to turn ambiguity into structured plans and deliverables

Skilled at uncovering how work actually happens through effective questioning and synthesis

Comfortable challenging existing processes and proposing better alternatives

Actively exploring and applying AI and emerging tools to improve how work gets done

Treats experimentation as a core part of the job

Takes ownership of outcomes and drives work forward independently

Strong collaborator who can work across functions and push toward meaningful change

What Success Looks Like

Consistently delivers high-quality workstreams end-to-end

Structures complex problems into clear, actionable approaches

Identifies and drives meaningful improvements to workflows and systems

Applies new tools and methods to increase efficiency and effectiveness

Develops and elevates team members through mentorship and guidance

Why This Role is Different

You're not just managing work. You're defining how it gets done—and making it better.

$90,000 - $129,000 a year

The final compensation within this range will be determined based on a comprehensive evaluation of the candidate’s relevant professional experience, educational background, skill set, and overall alignment with the responsibilities and requirements of the role. Candidates who demonstrate significant experience, specialized expertise, or exceptional qualifications may be considered for compensation at the higher end of the range.
