• A place where you can move your career forward, where you’ll be continuously backed to make new ideas happen, and the chance to do work that makes real, significant impact in the world. 

• We’re a certified Great Place to Work, Family Friendly Workplace and WGEA Employer of Choice. 

• The support of a highly engaged, high-performing team including a leadership team that’s you’ll actually have face time with. 

• 18 weeks paid parental leave for primary caregivers, four weeks paid secondary caregivers leave, six weeks paid gender affirming care leave.

Job Description

• Develop clear and concise visualizations to help stakeholders understand the data, its value and impact.
• Demonstrate understanding and motivations to collaborate with the wider data team.

Qualifications

What are we looking for? 

• Demonstrated inclusive and interpersonal attributes that connect you to our behaviours (we change the game, we own it, we step in, we are curious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously).
• Experience using SQL to work with data.
• An interest in reporting on advertising and an understanding of the different analytics techniques that can be applied to understand the effects of advertising.
• Strong business acumen and communication skills to present findings in an easy-to-understand way to inform data-driven decisions.
