Company Overview

My client unlocks business growth for the world’s most reputable brands. They were founded in 1975 and employ over 6000 people. They are reshaping the media industry and orchestrate a brand’s entire consumer experience, by balancing both what unites people and what makes them different.

With a huge mix of skills and personalities they fostered a unique culture of entrepreneurship and empowerment. They are now expanding and looking for an Associate BI Director.

The Role

The team in London is a group of 30+ specialists covering four principal areas of data and analytics: Business Intelligence, Audience & Data Strategy, Research & Insights and Advanced Analytics.  The teams support client deliverables for UK clients, as well as Global and EMEA clients based out of the London hub. The Business Intelligence EMEA team provides a critical role in providing their clients with access to clean, organized data, insightful visualisations, and actionable insights. There has been a lot of growth within this team more recently and this is due to the demand from partners. The Business Intelligence AD will be responsible for the technical delivery of projects across key clients in the EMEA hub. This is a client-facing, technical role requiring hands-on experience of media data and infrastructure, with the expertise to understand client requirements, identify and design appropriate solutions and ensure successful delivery (with the support of the team director). This role will be responsible for training and supporting more junior members of the BI team, successfully delegating (both up and down) to ensure timely and accurate delivery of projects, from data prep to dashboard visuals to generating insights. An independent worker, this person will also enjoy collaborating with team members from the EMEA hub, as well as with colleagues from other markets and other agency partners.  We are looking for someone who ‘gets’ numbers and enjoys using them to solve problems; they will constantly strive to make things more effective and more efficient.
