Senior Insight Lead
Brighton, hybrid, 2 days per week onsite £90,000 - £100,000 base salary Hybrid working, 2 days per week in Brighton 25 days holiday plus bank holidays & more
We’re supporting a fast-scaling, international marketplace business that is investing heavily in how data is used across the company.
This is not a “more dashboards” type of role. It is a senior insight and data leadership position focused on improving the quality of commercial decision-making across customer, pricing, marketing and finance.
You’ll lead the central analytics and insight capability, manage and develop a small team, and help shape how the business moves towards a more modern, AI-enabled, democratised approach to data.
The role sits at the centre of a growing hub-and-spoke data model, working closely with embedded data roles in product/platform squads while owning the central foundations: certified metrics, semantic layers, trusted insight, governance, standards and decision-support.
What you’ll be doing:
