PURPOSE OF ROLE

The Lead Insight Analyst (Marketing & Acquisition) is a key role within our evolving DRI function. At The Economist, we are moving beyond traditional descriptive reporting toward a "Decision Science" model. Your purpose is to act as a trusted advisor to our Marketing, Trading, Finance and Product teams, shifting the conversation from "what happened" to "why it happened" and "what we must do next."

You will play a key role in the analytical narrative for our customer acquisition efforts, leveraging our unified data lake to understand complex digital behaviors. You aren’t just an expert in SQL; you are a consultant who uses data to influence high-stakes decisions around marketing and media optimisation, conversion rate optimisation, audience insight, proposition development and subscriber LTV.. As a Lead, you will also be a torch-bearer for excellence, mentoring senior and junior analysts to ensure our team is "fit for an AI-powered future."

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Strategic Partnership: Work closely with the Marketing, Finance, Trading and Product teams. Understand their core business problems and translate them into robust analytical projects and briefs.
  • Diagnostic & Prescriptive Analytics: Move beyond the dashboard. Use advanced techniques (e.g., causal inference, churn propensity, cohort analysis, customer value modelling) to identify the true drivers of customer acquisition, marketing effectiveness and long-term customer value
  • Roadmap Input: Proactively identify and size opportunities within the data to inform the Marketing and Product roadmaps, ensuring we focus on the most commercially material opportunities.
  • Experimental Excellence: Lead the design and evaluation of complex A/B tests. Ensure we aren't just measuring "lift," but understanding the long-term impact on subscriber value and retention.
  • Holistic Storytelling: Collaborate with the Research and Data Science teams to integrate qualitative survey data with quantitative behavioral data, creating a complete view of the customer.
  • Data Governance & Quality: Ensure the integrity of our tracking. Work with Insight Products to ensure our data "observability" allows for decentralized, high-speed insight creation.
  • Talent Development: Act as a mentor to other team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning, technical rigor, and commercial urgency. Grow your own people and leadership capabilities to ready yourself for more senior roles

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
