We are seeking a Data Analyst to join our Media division and play a key role in delivering audience, membership, product, and business intelligence insights across a growing global media organisation. This is a highly collaborative role that sits at the intersection of Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Analytics Engineering, and applied Data Science. You will work closely with teams across Product, Editorial, Marketing, Membership, Commercial, and Data to transform complex datasets into actionable insights that support audience growth, engagement, retention, and strategic decision-making. The successful candidate will be comfortable working across the full analytics lifecycle—from data acquisition and preparation through to modelling, analysis, reporting, visualisation, and stakeholder engagement. You will help unify and manage data from multiple platforms and sources, supporting the development of scalable reporting and intelligence capabilities across the business.

Develop insights that support audience acquisition, engagement, retention, and content performance. Provide data-driven recommendations based on behavioural, transactional, and engagement data.
- Business Intelligence & Reporting: Build, maintain, and improve dashboards, reports, and self-service analytics solutions. Translate business requirements into meaningful metrics, KPIs, and reporting frameworks.
- Data Management & Analytics Engineering: Work with large-scale datasets from a wide range of internal and external sources. Support the integration, cleansing, validation, and standardisation of data across a diverse data ecosystem. Help unify data from multiple platforms and systems into consistent analytical models. Contribute to the optimisation and ongoing management of data pipelines and analytical workflows.
- Advanced Analytics & Data Science: Apply statistical and analytical techniques to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities within audience and membership data. Support the development of segmentation models, recommendation frameworks, predictive analysis, and other advanced analytical initiatives. Contribute to the creation and enhancement of intelligence products and analytical capabilities that support business growth and decision-making.
- Stakeholder Management & Collaboration: Partner with Product, Editorial, Marketing, Commercial, Membership, and Data teams on shared initiatives. Work across both the Media division and wider global data organisation to deliver analytical projects and insights.
