Summary

Role based in Manchester.

As an Engagement BI Analyst within the Insights and Data Group team, you will support the delivery of insight and analysis into CRM, marketing, customer, and campaign performance across our digital brands.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues in Business Intelligence, Marketing, and other business areas to understand requirements, apply agreed analytics standards, and ensure outputs are accurate, well-managed, and aligned with data governance guidelines. You will also actively seek feedback and use it to improve the quality, relevance, and impact of your analytical work.

• Track and report on key performance indicators, including conversion, reactivation, retention, cross-sell, campaign ROI, and other relevant CRM and marketing metrics.
• Leverage advanced statistical methods and machine learning algorithms for exploratory and deep-dive analysis, optimization and segmentation models.
• Communicate analytical findings, including relevant statistical or mathematical concepts, to non-technical audiences at an appropriate level of detail.
• Develop clear data narratives and visualisations that help stakeholders understand performance, customer behaviour, and opportunities for improvement.
• Ensure analytical work is produced, managed, documented, and shared securely in line with data governance, quality, and analytics guidelines.
• Use established coding practices and standard tools, including SQL, Python, Tableau, or similar technologies, to solve business problems and deliver analytical outputs.
• Support the development of analytical solutions that follow expected standards for data quality, reconciliation, monitoring, data modelling, storage, and security.
• Work with Marketing and BI stakeholders to understand business context, clarify requirements, and ensure analytical outputs are relevant to the intended audience.
• Consolidate analysis into concise conclusions and recommendations, supported by quality data and clear evidence.
• Actively seek feedback and review from colleagues and stakeholders, using this input to improve the quality and usefulness of analytical outputs.
• Support analysis of audience behaviour, segmentation, targeting, customer journeys, and campaign effectiveness to help improve marketing performance.
• Monitor relevant industry trends, CRM practices, and platform changes, sharing observations where they may affect reporting, analysis, or campaign performance.
