About The Team And The Role
The Customer Insight Manager leads a team of analysts, providing crucial support to CRM, Revenue Management, and Customer Hub teams in achieving their commercial goals.
Customer Analysts are tasked with extracting, manipulating, and analysing data to generate essential management information. This data informs decision-making on key questions faced by the supported teams, including advising on campaign design and implementation, evaluating performance, and suggesting improvements. Additionally, analysts provide insights into customer behaviours and how Ocado can effectively meet their needs.
As Insight Manager, responsibilities also include mentoring and developing the team, formulating strategic questions, managing team workload, and fostering stakeholder relationships.
