About Forbes Advisor
At Forbes Advisor, our mission is to help readers turn their aspirations into reality. We arm people with trusted advice and guidance so they can make informed decisions they feel confident in and get back to doing the things they care about most.
We are an experienced team of industry experts dedicated to helping readers make smart decisions and choose the right products with ease. Forbes Advisor boasts decades of experience across dozens of geographies and teams, including Content, SEO, Business Intelligence, Finance, HR, Marketing, Production, Technology, and Sales. The team brings rich industry knowledge to Forbes Advisor's global coverage of consumer credit, debt, health, home improvement, banking, investing, credit cards, small business, education, insurance, loans, real estate, and travel.
About the Role
We're looking for a leader who wants to help build the future of marketing data strategy at Forbes Digital Marketing. Our Data & Analytics organisation sits at the heart of our mission. We build the products, platforms, and intelligence that power marketing, commercial decision making, customer understanding, and revenue growth across the business. As we continue to invest in first-party data, machine learning, marketing technology, and AI, we're looking for a senior leader to help define the next phase of that journey.
This is not a traditional data leadership role. Working directly with the VP of Data Strategy, you'll act as a trusted technical counterpart - bringing deep expertise, challenging thinking, and helping shape strategic decisions across our marketing data ecosystem. You'll join an established leadership team spanning Engineering, Analytics, Data Science, and Operations, helping define how customer data, marketing measurement, attribution, analytics, and AI come together to improve business performance. You'll also act as a senior technical counterpart to key technology partners, helping ensure our strategy evolves alongside the wider marketing ecosystem.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you're motivated by solving complex commercial problems, challenging conventional thinking, building products rather than projects, and helping organisations use data more effectively, we'd love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- Marketing Measurement & Attribution: Help define how we measure marketing performance across channels and ensure that our measurement strategy enables better commercial decisions.
- Customer Intelligence & First-Party Data: Help shape how customer data is collected, organised, and activated across the business.
- Marketing Platforms & Activation: Ensure our marketing platforms receive the right data to optimise effectively and maximise commercial performance.
- Data Products & Decision Intelligence: Help move the organisation from one-off analysis towards reusable products and decision-support capabilities.
- Strategic Leadership: Challenge assumptions and influence the future direction of our marketing data strategy.
- Team Leadership & Capability Building: Play an important role in building and developing the next generation of leaders across Data & Analytics.
Requirements
We're deliberately not looking for someone who has done everything. Instead, you'll bring deep expertise in one or more of our strategic domains together with the ability to collaborate across the wider marketing data ecosystem.
