Senior Data & Insights Analyst in Cambridge

Company: Genie Shopping Ltd

Department: Genie Shopping Network (Product & Innovation)

Location: Flexible - Distributed with use of Cambridge office and occasional travel

Working Hours: Full Time 37.5 hours per week with flexible working arrangements

Who is Genie Shopping? Genie Shopping is a UK-based, high-growth performance marketing business operating through the affiliate channel and the CSS ecosystem. As a certified Google CSS Premium Partner, we work with retail giants like Boots, eBay, Frasers, B&Q, Three, and Lookfantastic, serving over 57 billion ad impressions to users across our network. We differentiate ourselves through our managed CSS CPA model and our technical scale. We don’t act as a traditional CSS; we act as a performance partner. Alongside our self-managed SaaS offering, our core revenue comes from our CPA model, which means our success is directly aligned with our clients’. We are a driving force in the industry, leading the conversation through education, sponsorship, and active event contribution. This approach has led to huge success, doubling our growth in 2024 and setting new records in 2025. We are a certified Great Place to Work with a remote-first setup. Our environment is small (~20 people) but ambitious.

We value:

• Autonomy: We hire people who want to own their output. If you love solving complex problems and implementing your own ideas, you will thrive here.
• Connection: We prioritise culture over geography. We get together for proper team socials every quarter – think punting, cocktail making, and go-karting, to ensure we stay connected as people, not just colleagues. The team is remotely based, but has fluidity in meetings in-person for client meetings, industry events, strategy days and team socials. There are requirements to travel to Cambridge around once a month, with London (or other UK locations) once a month on average.

What is the role? As a Senior Data & Insights Analyst you will play a pivotal role in transforming our data into actionable insights ensuring our data is highly reliable, accurate, easily accessible, and having a direct impact to the performance of the business. You will have ownership of our data ecosystem, where your insights will directly shape how we acquire customers, support our retail partners, and scale our performance. We’re looking for a data visionary, someone who loves the challenge of defining rigorous processes while simultaneously experimenting with cutting-edge tech and AI to stay ahead of the curve. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your work has an immediate, tangible impact on our clients’ success, this is your opportunity to lead and innovate. You’ll bring your expertise to a highly collaborative team, working cross-functionally to drive customer acquisition, support marketing initiatives, and fuel existing client growth through actionable data and insights.

What You’ll Do:

• Business Reporting: Innovate and manage how we report key performance across daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots to keep the business aware of changes to KPIs that drive performance.
• Data Quality & Pipeline Collaboration: Conduct regular audits of our affiliate network transactional data to resolve discrepancies and spot trends.
• Tableau Ownership & Governance: Act as the primary owner for our Tableau environment. You will handle data source prep, optimise calculations, debug logs, and keep our reporting infrastructure clean and reliable.
• Commercial Insights & Support: Collaborate with the Partnerships team to deliver actionable insights that directly impact client growth.
• Tech & AI Exploration: Regularly evaluate and test systems and AI tools and how they can help us automate data processes and give the team faster, more autonomous access to insights.
• Pipeline & Workload Management: Manage your own task queue autonomously, ensuring clear documentation of your methodologies so the team stays aligned.
• Collaboration on Data Infrastructure: Work closely with our developers to keep our data pipelines (Fivetran/Redshift) running efficiently and ensure all required data is accessible.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven professional experience working with e-commerce and affiliate marketing data. Applicants without this will not be considered.
• Proven ability to design, develop, and maintain complex Tableau dashboards and reports, leveraging advanced features to derive actionable insights.
• Demonstrated ability to extract actionable insights, identify patterns, and evaluate business opportunities and risks from complex datasets.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication abilities, with the capacity to clearly explain technical data findings to diverse, non-technical stakeholders.
• A proactive mindset, comfortable prioritising your own tasks and managing your day-to-day pipeline.
• Proficiency in SQL for data querying and database table manipulation.

Desirable:

• Experience working with Google Ads data to identify trends and provide campaign insights.
• Awareness of AI and machine learning techniques for data analysis and insight generation.
• Understanding of Fivetran’s capabilities and its role in streamlining data pipelines.

We look forward to receiving your application!
