We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.
About this role
Are you interested in growing your career in Analytics? Are you passionate about media and advertising? Well, we’re looking for an Audience Data Analyst, perhaps this might be the right role for you! We’re looking for a new addition to join our team on a 12 month maternity cover contract! This will be a remote, UK based position joining the Reach Data Strategy & Performance Media Department to utilise Reach audience data for commercial goals. This is a truly unique opportunity to step into an Analytics role and expand your experience in a highly desirable industry.
Perhaps you’re a recent graduate looking to break into a Data Analyst career, or an existing Analyst seeking something fresh and exciting. In a nutshell, our Audience Data Analyst will identify, capture and activate data across our digital properties, creating new commercial opportunities and media upsell opportunities. You’ll work closely with digital sales teams, responding to briefs for advertising campaigns and accompanying account managers on sales pitches with leading agencies and advertisers, to provide specialist audience data knowledge. You’ll manage output of day to day data requests and queries, which include manipulating multiple data sets and creating reports to support the business and client accounts.
You will adopt a consultative approach to analysing a client and create a data solution bespoke for each advertiser’s needs, and will present ideas and use data to outline a comprehensive digital sales story.
What you need to be successful
Whilst a background in digital advertising data analytics is advantageous, it is not required to be successful in this role. It is more important to us that you have a hunger to learn new skills, are a numbers person able to work with spreadsheets and across large data sets, and have a knack for creating presentations, with the confidence to present in front of clients and internal stakeholders. We will provide you with all of the training & tools you need to be successful.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about digital technology, will be hyper organised with excellent attention to detail, and will be able to work in a collaborative team environment.
You’ll be a spreadsheet wizard and will be comfortable synthesising large data sets, ideally with experience using a DMP (although this is not essential.) Experience with Google Analytics or other relevant digital media and advertising analytics programs would also be a big plus.
How we'll look after you
We are offering up to £30,000 DOE for this position.
We take good care of our people - and that means more than just a pay packet. Whatever your role, you'll get a range of benefits, including:
25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
A fully remote contract & full work from home setup.
An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
Big moment day - an extra day’s paid leave for a moment that matters to you - like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
Bonus scheme - you'll get a stake in our success and a chance to add to your annual earnings.
Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
Supportive and progressive people policies - we’re proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait to join us to know what to expect from us, which is why we share this overview of the policies we have in place to support families and carers. If there's something you want to understand more about, just ask - it won’t make a difference to your application.
A healthcare cash plan - giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
Car lease scheme - you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
Wellbeing support - including a 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
