In collaboration with our expert teams, you will have the chance to shape and build high‑performance products that enhance the shopping experience for our customers. With a focus on data‑driven decision‑making, you'll work closely with multiple stakeholders and have the support of a centralised analytics team. We pride ourselves on our inclusive and diverse culture, offering competitive benefits, flexible working options, and an environment where growth and development are encouraged.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be working in the Argos Digital Spoke function as a Lead Digital Analyst reporting into the Analytics Manager. The role uses our comprehensive data, industry‑leading tools and data visualisation to understand the behaviour on our digital channels for General Merchandise and Clothing and feeds that insight into teams across the business. It is achieved by a mix of project‑based work, day‑to‑day insight and analysis, as well as supporting stakeholders’ self‑serve. This role suits an experienced Analyst looking to line‑manage and build leadership skills, as you will be line‑managing Associate Analyst(s).

Who you are

• Provide insight into behaviour on our digital channels and present this in a variety of different ways from a quick conversation to presenting a deep‑dive insight pack or a self‑serve dashboard, providing commentary and making recommendations.
• Support and collaborate with digital and broader analytics teams to prioritise and deliver the backlog.
• Look for new ways to develop existing reporting and processes through automation and optimisation along with research into emerging technologies and best practice.
• Collaborate with other teams to make sure we’re capturing the right data, in the right place, at the right time.
• Drive your own development, while you’ll have ample support and training where required. In the constantly evolving landscape in data and analytics, it’ll be important to identify your development needs and the best way to grow them.
• Line manage Associate Analyst(s).
• Experience with Adobe Analytics is essential.
• A proven track record of delivering actionable insight and demonstrable business change through the application of digital analytics.
• Excellent communicator, credible and articulate, with good presentation and relationship‑building skills. Able to build trust with stakeholders and explain technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• An agile and innovative thinker, you’ll be able to think creatively with a logical and methodical approach to problem solving and coming up with ideas.
• Excited by digital and retail, you can be curious about data and the adoption of new technologies and tools.
• Capability to collaborate effectively within cross‑functional teams, prioritise work, and support the development of others, including line‑management responsibilities.

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer so you’ll be welcomed whatever you are and wherever you work.
