DATA TEAM:
The Data and Lead Generation team is critical to The Drum, expertly combining strategy and execution. It not only ensures we are reaching and engaging with the correct audience, but it gives us the ability to better understand, research and report on them, and the wider market, as well as provide valued information for our customers and clients.
Data touches all aspects of the business, supporting our products and services, and helping sales reach and respond to prospects and customers.
The role has specific responsibility for the lead generation activities within the business; this requires an analytical, commercially minded, action-orientated approach and skill with working in a matrix-type environment.
ROLE:
