* Creating intuitive visualisations and insight summaries for non‑technical stakeholders
* Monitoring wider media and advertising news to spot opportunities for reactive or proactive content
* Supporting the development of external‑facing insight outputs, including quarterly market updates
* Responding to ad‑hoc data and insight requests from internal teams and external partners
* Contributing to new strategic research projects alongside senior insight leaders
What You’ll Bring
* Around 2–4 years’ experience in a media, advertising, or audience‑focused analyst role
* Strong capability in dashboarding tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker or similar)
* Ability to translate data into clear, engaging narratives for non‑technical audiences
* A curious, commercially aware mindset with the ability to spot patterns and build a compelling story
* Interest in media consumption, audience behaviour and the evolving advertising landscape
* Experience with datasets such as Nielsen, RAJAR or IPA Touchpoints is a bonus

You’ll join a friendly, collaborative and well‑respected team with a clear mission: helping the industry understand the value and impact of modern media. Expect variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to influence thinking across agencies, brands and industry stakeholders.
