Analytics Manager / Senior Analytics Manager - Maternity Cover

About the Agency

Our client is a specialist digital optimisation agency based in London, focused on helping businesses grow through better use of data. The agency was founded by highly experienced digital analytics leaders who have previously helped build one of the UK’s largest and most respected analytics consultancies, bringing more than 35 years’ combined expertise across web analytics, CRO, SEO and data strategy.

The agency partners with brands to create trusted, comprehensive and future-ready datasets. It then helps clients unlock value from that data through training, dashboarding, reporting support and the integration of analytics data with wider business data sources. This includes building single sources of truth and supporting predictive modelling to drive commercial growth.

The culture is centred on building one of the best working environments in digital analytics. Time for innovation, learning and development is actively encouraged, with a strong focus on creating a team environment where people feel supported, motivated and able to do their best work.
