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 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. This is a small but fast-growing agency with ambitious plans to become a leading name in web analytics, CRO and SEO. It is looking for people who want to make a meaningful impact, contribute ideas and help shape how the agency continues to grow. 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.
