Key Responsibilities
Vibrant is now looking for a Data Analyst, someone with the technical and mathematical skills to wrangle insight from large multivariate data sets, help all functions across the business understand them and make informed decisions moving forward. The data will come from existing reports (SSRS, Spotfire), new reports you may need to implement, pulling ad hoc data from various reporting systems (SQL, Hadoop/Spark) and of course Excel.
The data is constantly changing and is influenced by such factors as date (week, weekend, month start/end, quarter start/end), time of day, the website and article content in question, the user viewing the article, their location, what they’re viewing it with, their past behaviour, which advertising products are being delivered on the page, the performance goals of the adverts, the interaction of adverts with each other, the types of adverts, what the adverts look like and many more beyond.
The successful candidate will be based in London and report to the Head of Business Systems, but will operate and interact across the business globally.
About You
You will be self-motivated, capable of working both individually and as part of a wider team. You will be both curious and playful with data, but also have a rigorous attention to detail.
It is essential that you have:
Demonstrable experience performing complex statistical analysis
Experience with statistical visualisation software (e.g. Spotfire, Tableau, SSRS, Excel)
Strong SQL Skills
Programming experience (e.g. Java)
Clear and confident written and verbal communication in English
A graduate degree or higher in a quantitative discipline – Mathematics/Statistics, Physics, Computer Science
If you have the interest, aptitude and are willing to put in the effort there is plenty of scope to move into a Data Scientist role gaining experience with data mining systems.
