Marketing Data & Insights Analyst / Data Solutions Manager

London | Hybrid, 3 days per week in the office

Salary: up to £50,000


We’re hiring for a fast-growing London marketing and media agency of 85+ people, working with major global brands and competing successfully against much larger networks.


This is a great opportunity for someone who understands marketing performance data and enjoys turning campaign, media and customer data into clear reporting, insight and recommendations.

You’ll be working closely with account, media, strategy and data teams to help improve campaign performance, client reporting and decision-making across the agency.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with strong experience working with marketing, media or advertising data, ideally from an agency, media, performance marketing or digital analytics environment.

You’ll need to be confident working with data from channels such as paid search, paid social, programmatic, web analytics, CRM or customer platforms, and able to turn that data into clear, useful insight for both internal teams and clients.


You’ll bring:

  • Strong hands-on experience in marketing data, campaign reporting, analytics or insights

  • Good SQL skills, ideally with experience using Google BigQuery

  • Experience building dashboards and reports in Looker Studio, Tableau or similar tools

  • A good understanding of digital marketing and advertising data, including platforms such as Google Ads, Meta, DV360, GA4 or CRM systems

  • The ability to understand what teams and clients need to know, then build reporting and insight that supports better decisions

  • Confidence working with non-technical stakeholders across account management, media, strategy and client teams

  • A practical, commercial mindset — someone who can spot trends, risks and opportunities in the data

  • This is a hands-on role working with an established marketing data stack, with a focus on making reporting faster, clearer and more useful across the agency.

    What you’ll be doing

    • Creating and improving campaign performance dashboards and client reporting

    • Bringing together data from platforms such as Google Ads, Meta, DV360, Siebel, GA4 and other marketing sources

    • Using SQL and BigQuery to organise, query and improve marketing data

    • Building clear, consistent reporting views for campaign performance, client reporting and internal KPIs

    • Creating reusable templates and dashboards that make reporting easier for teams

    • Producing insight around attribution, funnels, cohorts, budget pacing and forecasting

    • Helping account, media and strategy teams understand what the data is showing and what action to take

    • Working with Data and Ad Ops teams to support accurate data collection, tagging and integration

    • Improving data quality, documentation and reporting standards across the agency

    Experience with Python, APIs, Supermetrics, custom scripts, connectors or ETL tools would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential.

    Why join?

    • Join a growing independent agency that has doubled in size over the past three years

    • Work with major global brands and high-profile campaigns

    • Have real ownership of marketing reporting and insight

    • Make a visible impact on campaign performance and client decision-making

    • Work in a high-performing, streamlined culture with direct communication and strong leadership

    • Be the bridge between marketing teams, data and client insight
