ABOUT THE ROLE

Immediate has gone from being a print-focused business to a multi-channel powerhouse in recent years, with digital advertising now making up more than two-thirds of our total ad revenues. Data and how we use it commercially has been key to this change and as the industry faces ongoing disruption from technology and regulation, we need to keep growing and improving our data products to meet our client needs.
This is where you come in. As a new addition to our team, you will help us showcase our Commercial Data offering to our ad customers; making data the core of what we do with both clients and media agencies. You will also use your market savvy and skills to shape our data offering in the future and bring our user insights to the forefront of our commercial offering. This is a largely market-facing role, reporting to the Head of Commercial Data & Analytics, and working closely with the Director of Digital Trading.

YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE IF;

You’re passionate about data and technology and how these intersect to influence the digital advertising industry. The experience and skills below are important but your passion for data and helping companies innovate with creative solutions to problems will be critical. We’re a very hands-on and supportive team, and what we’re looking for is the right attitude toward learning and a keen interest in analysing and understanding data to provide robust support to our sales team, optimising their commercial opportunities.
You’re passionate about data and technology and how they shape the world of digital advertising.

We’re a team that works hard and helps each other, and we want someone who is eager to learn and to use data to give strong support to our sales team and clients, allowing us to over deliver on their expectations.
