About the Role

As a Data Analyst, you will translate modeled data into decisions, revenue forecasts, partner performance narratives, and yield optimization recommendations for stakeholders. You will work closely with the Ad Operations and Data Engineering team to ensure data accuracy and accessibility for analysis, helping the company optimize revenue, run experiments, and lay the foundation for AI-driven automation. This role offers a unique opportunity to learn ad tech, revenue analytics, and AI-enabled decision-making while developing engineering skills, writing production-ready code, building scalable data pipelines, and contributing to a high-impact team.

Responsibilities

• Proactively develop and automate data-driven recommendations for revenue optimisation and partner strategy.
• Design, run, and analyse A/B tests to support yield and revenue optimisation decisions.
• Enable self-serve analytics by building robust, reliable datasets for commercial teams instead of fielding individual report requests.
• Use AI tools to speed up analysis and get to insights faster.
• Implement automated testing, monitoring, and alerting within the data pipelines to catch discrepancies in revenue, yield, or partner data before they reach downstream dashboards.
• Learn and contribute to ad tech operations and revenue optimisation projects.

Requirements

• Hold a degree in a business-related field (such as Economics, Business Analytics, or a STEM subject).
• Solid grasp of fundamentals like SQL and Python and eager to master the modern data stack.
• Look for solutions, take ownership of tasks, and tackle complex challenges.
• Naturally curious, ask why, and don't stop until a real answer is found.
• Manage time effectively and thrive in a fast-moving, commercial environment.
• Communicate effectively by building well-documented, intuitive data models that business users can explore autonomously.
• Keen to use AI and modern tools in day-to-day work, rather than defaulting to spreadsheets.
• Work well under pressure and can juggle shifting priorities.
• Track record of taking ambiguous data problems from initial scoping to final delivery.
• Familiar with modern BI tools.
• Good written and verbal communication, comfortable presenting to stakeholders.
• A strong interest in exploring AI, automation, and predictive analytics to drive business value.
• An interest or background in setting up and evaluating A/B tests.
