• Act as the go-to analytics contact for clients and internal stakeholders.

What You'll Need:

• Experience in an analytics-focused role within an agency or digital marketing environment.

• Proficiency in GA4, GTM, Looker Studio, and web analytics tools.

• Experience in consent management and tracking best practices.

• Strong analytical thinking and ability to clearly present insights to clients.

• Proven success managing data dashboards, KPIs, and campaign metrics.

• Ability to multitask and operate in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.
