• Interpret multi-media attribution data from GA4 and Bloomreach to help the digital and marketing teams optimise channel spend and ROI.

• Triangulate data from our DTC site, Amazon, and retail portals to understand exactly how online research drives offline purchasing.

• Use cross-channel behavioural data to refine our customer journey maps, pinpointing friction points and recommending straightforward fixes.

• Analyse retention metrics to uncover the true drivers of loyalty versus churn, directly shaping our global CRM strategy.

• Measure customer adoption of our CSA Philosophy to feed actionable insights into our educational content and product innovation pipelines.

• Monitor platforms like WGSN and BeautyMatter to anticipate luxury skincare trends and track competitor movements, identifying new white-space opportunities.

• Partner with syndicated data providers such as Circana and NIQ to track category performance and rigorously benchmark Medik8’s market share.

• Design and execute research projects, including focus groups and targeted surveys, to quickly validate internal hypotheses for the brand team.

• Refine our global customer personas to ensure our marketing and personalised messaging are laser-focused on the high-value skintellectual consumer.

• Provide localised insights to ensure our British heritage and brand promise resonate authentically as we scale in key territories.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in Consumer Insights, Market Research, or Commercial Analytics, specifically within the premium beauty, FMCG, or luxury retail sectors.

• Proven ability to interpret existing data from BI dashboards (such as Tableau) and web analytics, translating those numbers into clear, commercial narratives for senior stakeholders.

• Strong background in managing external brand tracking agencies and designing primary research, including running focus groups and quantitative surveys.
