Overview

We’re looking for a Junior Data Analyst to join our team and help bring data to life across our clients’ digital experiences. In this role, you won’t just report numbers - you’ll interrogate them, asking why a metric moved, what it means for the business, and what we should do about it.

You’ll support the implementation and optimization of web analytics solutions using Google Analytics 4 (GA4), turning data into insights that drive smarter decisions. You’ll monitor performance, uncover trends, and deliver meaningful recommendations on both a regular and ad-hoc basis. As you do so, you’ll ensure your data is accurate and reliable, while taking a strategic approach to uncover opportunities that drive the business forward.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical expertise on Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), and other relevant digital analytics platforms.
• Design and implement detailed tracking and tagging plans, partnering with development teams to ensure accurate and comprehensive tracking of user behaviour across client web properties.
• Contribute to a range of analytics initiatives; including report automation, analytics tagging, data visualization, requirements gathering and documentation, and ad hoc analysis, proactively surfacing the “so what” behind the data
• Assist in developing KPIs and measurement frameworks aligned to business objectives, asking the right questions during requirements gathering to ensure we’re measuring what matters
• Identify opportunities to improve how we collect, integrate, and analyze data
• Generate routine reporting, scorecards, and interactive dashboards (including weekly, monthly, quarterly and ad-hoc requests), while actively identifying & sharing key insights from the data
• Collaborate cross-functionally with various teams across the organization and contribute to client-facing communication that builds strong, trusted relationships
