About The Team And The Role
The Customer Insight Analyst role is responsible for supporting the marketing & CRM teams as well as the wider Ocado business in delivering their commercial objectives. The team is responsible for growing the business through customer acquisitions and keeping our existing customers loyal. Customer Insight Analysts are required to extract, manipulate and analyse wide data sets to provide critical management information to enable decision-making on key questions.

What You’ll Do
- Interrogating internal databases to provide recommendations to the marketing team and Ocado Retail’s senior leadership within the commercial context.
