About The Role

You will work alongside Data Administrators, Account Managers, and Data Team Managers to effectively communicate requirements for obligations calculations for a range of accounts.
You will support with suppliers of Data Insights’ customers to collect information by email, telephone, and live chat, as well as present webinars and proactively engage with the member’s supplier base.
