Role Overview

Worldpanel’s Advanced Analytics division is a ~$15m business with aspirations to grow significantly. Within the growth team we have a relatively new sales function charged with accelerating cross-sell with our existing panel subscription clients. Historically we have relied upon the capacity and capability of the Client Service (CS) teams to develop entanglement and upsell plans with these clients, and whilst this continues, to accelerate growth for the division we are looking to directly develop some priority client relationships, in partnership with client services.

Job Purpose

To grow Advanced Analytics non-recurring revenue bookings within the FMCG Foods and Fashion client areas, whilst strengthening Worldpanel’s overall position at the client through expanding their exposure and reliance on our expertise and impact.
