Global Insights Team

We are a newly formed team within Primark, at the start of an exciting journey to integrate insights into the business to drive performance. Our mission is to drive insight-led decision making for maximum impact in helping Primark achieve its strategic goals. The team is structured across pillars covering Brand/Marketing, Consumer Journey, Product Category and Performance and Growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the consumer and market story for priority countries, producing the fact-packs, competitive analysis and consumer-behaviour synthesis that guide local strategy and growth, with direction from the Performance & Growth Insights Manager.


• Act as the day-to-day contact for Primark’s external data providers, coordinating briefs, deliverables and quality across the relationship.


• Analyse Primark’s transactional data for your countries, connecting sales and customer behaviour to the wider market picture to explain what is driving performance.


• Support the Performance & Growth Insights Manager in feeding consistent, comparable country inputs into the KPI frameworks and scorecards used across Strategy, Finance and Leadership.

Data Sources & Vendor Management

• Manage the day-to-day relationship with external data providers including Kantar/Worldpanel, SITA (for the respective countries) and Oxford Economics; brief requests, track deliverables and quality-check outputs.


• Combine syndicated data, transactional data and primary research into a single, clear view per market, connecting brand tracking, value and price perception, market share and consumer trends.


• Keep source documentation, definitions and processes up to date so analysis stays consistent and repeatable across markets.

Reporting, Dashboards & Storytelling

• Build and maintain dashboards and automated reporting for your countries in Power BI, working with Data/Tech teams to reduce manual effort.


• Produce clear, relevant insight deliverables including reports and presentations, getting to the “so what” rather than reporting numbers.


• Present findings to country and central stakeholders in a way they can act on, helping answer “how we win with customers” for each market.

Market & Competitor Tracking

• Track competitor moves, pricing and market indicators across your markets, using Edited as a tool, flagging opportunities and risks early enough for local teams to act on them.


• Maintain a “finger on the pulse” understanding of your countries through self-initiated desk research and competitive monitoring.

Essential knowledge and experience

• 2–4 years’ experience in consumer insights, customer analytics or market research, ideally within retail, ecommerce or Fashion.


• Hands‑on experience with syndicated data sources such as Kantar/Worldpanel, and Oxford Economics, and comfortable combining them with transactional data.


• Able to build effective working relationships with external data providers, coordinate deliverables and quality-check their work.


• Strong analytical and dashboarding skills, proficient in Excel and Power BI, comfortable with automation and curious about AI‑assisted analytics.


• Storytelling: able to interpret data and get to the “so what”, not just report numbers.


• Highly organised, with the project‑management discipline to maintain reference documents, logs and processes.


• Comfortable working across markets and with a geographically dispersed team.


• Proficiency in Spanish, Italian or French is a plus.

Personal Attributes

• Highly organised and detail‑oriented, able to prioritise across projects and deliverables while meeting deadlines.


• Able to analyse high volumes of data while keeping sight of the higher‑level picture.


• Articulate, with clear presentation skills and the ability to make complex information understandable to different audiences.


• Collaborative team player with strong interpersonal and communication skills and high emotional intelligence.


• Curious, resilient, able to work independently and proactively in a fast‑paced environment.
