The opportunity

You will join a small yet agile team of Analysts working as right-hand man or women to functional Head of Analytics, an Oxford educated powerhouse of a leader!

You will need to be able to push back, challenge thinking and juggle multiple projects at any one time, leading and owning your own work stream.

The Head of Analytics is an incredibly likeable, friendly and humble individual, with a wealth of digital and broader statistical analysis behind her. She is a big selling point for this role, given her expertise in this space and heritage in analytics; agency, online retail and publishing.

The company

After IPO-ing last year, predominantly on the value of their data assets and the value you can generate from this data, my client’s senior leaders are heavily invested in the use of data to drive the business. The company is on a massive growth trajectory, so a great time to join!

This is a real opportunity to join a team where the work is varied and also layered – not only are you working to further understand the behavior and engagement of your customers, but as they are (nearly) always shopping for someone else, it makes the analysis so much more complex…and therefore, interesting! There is naturally a lot of work around personalization, promotions and marketing, so any experience in this space would be beneficial. They’re productionising data science models and driving growth through personalisation, so any additional experience within an ecommerce, or a product led business would be very beneficial.
