About the Role
We're looking for a Data Analyst focusing on MarTech & Growth to join the marketing team at On the Beach. The role will report to the Senior Marketing Analyst. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves turning data into actionable insights that drive real business impact. You'll be working at the intersection of data, marketing, and growth strategy; building the infrastructure we need while uncovering the stories hidden in our numbers.

What you’ll be doing day to day
- Work on technical marketing platform projects, including website tagging, tracking, and analytics implementations.
- Analyzing marketing performance across acquisition channels (e.g. SEO, PPC, paid social, affiliates) to optimize spend and drive growth.
- Translating complex data findings into compelling insights and presentations for stakeholders across the business.
- Building and maintaining marketing analytics dashboards and data pipelines that the team relies on daily.

Broader skills we're after:

Nice to have:
- Experience in travel, tourism,or other B2C eCommerce sectors.
- Familiarity with popular ad platforms, including Google Ads and Meta.
- Experience with Dataform or dbt for BigQuery modeling.
- Python or R (nice-to-have).

We’ll run a 3 stage interview process, one stage of which will be an in-person interview at our fabulous Aeroworks office in Manchester city centre.
We want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to perform at their best. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the interview process please let the Talent Acquisition team know and they will be happy to assist.
