London, Hybrid – 3 days per week in office.
Working with leading brands and agencies

Our client is a forward-thinking, data-driven company looking to expand their Strategy team with a talented digital planner/strategist with good experience of audience planning.

Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of high-value projects, the business is seeking a Data Strategist to join their team, focusing on delivering innovative data-driven solutions for clients across various industries.

The role:

• Dig into data sets to check if algorithms will work and see if they fit the brief
• Brainstorm and craft stories that hit the mark for client briefs, based on set goals
• Write simple, to-the-point internal briefs using research and creative ideas
• Take the lead in building strong, persuasive responses to briefs
• Deliver extra value for clients with custom stuff like workshops
• Help tackle big industry challenges by shaping strategic solutions, both in the UK and globally
• Support marketing content creation by researching data and coming up with fresh ideas
• Work across teams, especially with Business Intelligence, to help shape strategic outputs for the business

Your profile:

• sgency strategy/planning experience – you’ve worked directly with brands and know how to chat with them.
• A solid background in audience planning – you get how to explore different audiences, figure out what makes them tick (and what splits them apart), and know what data helps brands reach them.
• The knack for reading between the lines – you don’t just take a brief at face value; you dig into what the client really wants.
• Storytelling skills – you can turn data into a clear, compelling audience story that ties everything together.
• Organised but creative – you’re detail-oriented but love thinking outside the box, with a naturally curious mindset.
• Confident presenter – whether it’s in-person or virtual, you’re comfortable pitching ideas to clients.
• Great communicator – you write and speak clearly, making complex stuff easy to grasp.
• A team player (and solo flyer) – you’re happy collaborating but can also take the reins on your own.
• Comfortable juggling priorities – you can handle shifting deadlines and manage projects without breaking a sweat.
• A strategic problem-solver – you thrive in fast-paced environments and have a track record of getting stuff done.
• Handy with PowerPoint & Excel – you know your way around slides and spreadsheets.

Bonus points if you:

• Understand how to pull meaning from messy or multiple data sets (but no stress if not).
• Have experience in markets outside the UK (again, nice to have, not essential).
