Digital Advertising Data Scientist

PetDoors.com has been a leader in the pet door industry since 1976, having made over 500,000 pets happy by providing them with high-quality pet doors. Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our manufacturing of the Endura Flap line, recognized as the best in the industry. We are passionate about pets and ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

We are looking for a highly analytical, math-savvy Cal Poly student who can commit at least 18 hours per week during the school year—plus full-time availability over the summer—to help scale and optimize Amazon Ads and Google Ads campaigns. This is not a “basic internship” or a casual side gig. You’ll be responsible for serious data-crunching and constant optimization. If you can’t juggle a challenging workload, please don’t apply.

Key Responsibilities
• Develop & Execute Paid Media Strategies: Craft integrated campaigns on Amazon and Google to increase gross profit.
• Data-Centric Decision-Making: Combine paid and organic data, diving into keyword research, ad copy testing, landing page tweaks, and performance analysis.
• Innovation & Opportunity: Pinpoint new ways to deliver value using advanced analytics and forward-thinking strategies.
• Targeted Growth: Help us grow acquisition by 15% within 12 months through precisely targeted campaigns.
• Scalable Optimization: Build a robust optimization framework within 3 months that can handle large daily data sets.

What You Need to Bring
• E-Commerce & Campaign Experience: While we'd love if you actually had experience, no experience is fine for fast learners that want to get to work
• Extreme Math & Analytical Skills: Proficiency in Excel, R, Python, etc is essential—you should relish statistics 
• Adaptability & Curiosity: Paid Media evolves fast. You should be learning constantly, with a keen interest in AI and machine learning.
• Technical & Communication Strength: You’ll handle keyword research, bid optimization, ad copywriting, and frequent updates to the team—so clarity and consistency are vital.
• Hard Work & Persistence: This role involves deep dives into data and nonstop experimentation. If large datasets intimidate you, this won’t be a fit.
• Commitment: We can give you flexible hours but you'll need to find at least 18 hours per week to be able to actually add value during the academic year and full-time over the summer—if that’s too much, please look elsewhere.
• To make sure we find someone detail focused, we will only be considering applicants that have a pdf cover letter and the cover letter has the word 'monkey' in it.

Why This Role Matters
We’re redefining the pet door industry with cutting-edge digital advertising strategies. Your solutions will directly affect our bottom line and drive real market impact. We offer a collaborative culture, solid mentorship, and clear growth paths for top performers.

If you’re not ready to push your analytical skills to the limit or can’t commit to the hours, this isn’t the right opportunity. But if you’re a brilliant, math-obsessed, relentless problem-solver who thrives on data challenges—and you want to make a real difference—apply now.
