About GlowMetrics
GlowMetrics is a specialist digital analytics and data-driven marketing agency working with organisations across Ireland, the UK and beyond.
We help clients improve how they collect, understand and use their digital data through measurement planning, technical implementation, reporting, analysis and digital strategy.
Our team includes Google-certified consultants with specialist expertise across Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and the wider Google Marketing Platform. Our clients range from charities and public sector organisations to ecommerce businesses, international brands and growing SMEs.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Digital Analytics Specialist to join our team and help plan, implement and deliver digital measurement projects across a varied client portfolio.
This is a hands-on technical role focused primarily on Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4 & Data Studio, alongside related platforms and technologies.
You will work across measurement planning, tracking implementation, analytics audits, troubleshooting, ecommerce measurement, conversion tracking, reporting and client training.
You’ll take ownership of your work while collaborating closely with our analytics, strategy, account management and digital marketing teams, as well as clients and external developers.
This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone with strong practical experience who can contribute to client delivery from the outset.
The Person We’re Looking For
You enjoy understanding how things work – and figuring out why they sometimes don’t.
You should be comfortable opening an unfamiliar GTM container, GA4 property or tracking implementation, understanding what is happening and methodically investigating problems.
Just as importantly, you should be able to step away from the technical detail and explain what it means to a client in clear, practical language.
We value people who are curious, thorough and willing to share what they know. You will have responsibility for your own work, while being part of an experienced team that collaborates, challenges ideas and solves difficult problems together.
