Job description

About LADbible Group

Founded in 2012, LADbible Group is redefining entertainment and news for a social generation. Our global community engages with our content–spanning editorial, video, documentary and live – we reach 1 billion people each and every month. Our mission is to give the youth generation a voice by building communities that laugh, think and act. Using all major platforms, we’ve rapidly risen to become one of the world's largest publishers.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Research and Insights Manager to play a key role at LADbible Group. Analytical and proactive, you’ll own a variety of research projects end to end, from shaping briefs to presenting clear, compelling insights to clients and internal teams. Using primary and secondary data, you’ll deepen understanding of our audiences and make sure this knowledge is shared and acted on across the business.

What the opportunity looks like

• Work with our marketing and sales teams to bring audience and performance data to life, helping shape how we talk about our channels and content.
• Keep audience insights up-to-date and easy to use across the business, and support teams to get the most out of self-serve tools.
• Take on bigger research projects that feed into external B2B presentations and show clients the real impact of LADbible Group.
• Develop ad hoc research for internal teams and external clients, finding the right solution for each brief.
• Run ad effectiveness studies on our content, sometimes in collaboration with external suppliers where relevant.
• Support colleagues across the wider team, working collaboratively and adapting when priorities shift.

Skills and experience we’d like you to have

• Solid experience in media research (at a media owner, agency or research agency working with media clients) - this is essential for the role.
• Confident using audience measurement and analytics tools, with experience across platforms such as TGI, GWI, Facebook Insights or Google Analytics.
• Experience with data analysis (e.g. Excel, SQL or similar) would be a plus.
• Ideally, some experience with social listening platforms or techniques.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to turn data into clear insights, rather than simply reporting the numbers.
• Proven experience managing stakeholders and projects in a fast-paced environment.

Working arrangements

At LADbible Group we’ve rolled out blended working which means the majority of departments across the business (including London, Manchester and International offices) work in the office 3 days per week.

Equal opportunities

LADbible Group is an equal opportunities employer. We are determined to create a diverse group at all levels of our company, and we welcome all members of the community to apply for openings with us. As the leading social youth publisher, we have a powerful global platform to better represent our audience and enable those that do not have equal opportunities, to have their voices heard. As a business, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, in an environment where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves.
