Are you a data-driven leader ready to make an impact at a global scale? We’re looking for a hands-on, business-facing Data Platforms & Insights Lead to drive the development and delivery of analytics and reporting capabilities across a high-profile media organisation.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of data platforms, reporting tools, and insight generation—translating business needs into powerful dashboards and data solutions. You’ll lead the delivery of structured, actionable intelligence that supports decision-making across content, sales, licensing, and customer engagement.

We’re seeking someone who thrives in a fast-moving, data-rich environment. You’ll work across technical and business teams, shaping roadmaps, managing data assets, and delivering user-friendly insights with real business value. You'll also provide leadership to data engineers and analysts, ensuring work aligns with business priorities and delivers measurable impact.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong experience in data analytics, data modelling, and reporting delivery.
• Proficiency in SQL and data preparation tools (Python or similar).
• Expertise in visualisation platforms such as Tableau or Looker Studio.
• Ability to integrate and structure data from multiple sources (e.g., Salesforce, finance, CRM).
• Skilled in translating business needs into technical solutions and clear, visual insights.
• Experience working with stakeholders across product, engineering, and business teams.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex data for non-technical audiences.
• Track record of driving adoption of data tools and embedding analytics into business processes.
• Agile, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to prioritise and manage multiple workstreams.
• Leadership experience, including line management and mentoring of data professionals.
