Company Description

Our client is a well-established ecommerce services organization that supports brands in building and scaling their presence across major online marketplaces (Amazon and mostly). With a long-standing track record in digital commerce, the firm provides strategic and operational support spanning retail, media, creative and performance enablement. Its environment is collaborative, entrepreneurial and data-driven, with a strong emphasis on translating complexity into clear business value.

Objective of the Role

Our client is seeking a Director of Analytics & Insights to lead the strategic development of its measurement and insights capability. This individual will define how performance is measured, interpreted and communicated across client engagements, with a particular focus on ecommerce, digital advertising effectiveness and broader brand growth.

The role is designed for a senior leader who can combine technical depth with business judgment. The successful candidate will establish a clear vision for analytics and reporting, strengthen the quality of insight generation across the organization, and help create scalable frameworks that enable client teams to translate data into action. This position will also play an important role in shaping how advanced tools, automation and artificial intelligence support a modern analytics function.

A deep understanding of marketplace ecosystems is essential, particularly in relation to Amazon advertising, Amazon Marketing Cloud, omnichannel measurement and upper-funnel media effectiveness.

This person should be equally credible in technical and executive settings: capable of engaging with analysts, data partners and technical teams while also presenting clear, actionable conclusions to senior leadership. The right profile will combine strategic thinking, intellectual curiosity, sound judgment and the ability to bring structure to an evolving function.

Responsibilities

• Define and advance the analytics and insights vision for the organization.

• Serve as a subject matter expert on advanced ecommerce measurement, including Amazon Marketing Cloud and omnichannel analytics.
• Partner with internal technology and engineering teams to improve data infrastructure, automation and reporting efficiency.
• Evaluate the current operating model and clarify ownership between analytics, reporting and client-facing teams.
• Support the development of advanced analyses that go beyond standard dashboard reporting and provide deeper strategic value.
• Ensure analytical output remains relevant, accurate, decision-oriented and aligned with the evolving needs of clients and the business.

Requirements

• Significant experience in analytics and insights leadership, including team management.
• Strong expertise in digital advertising measurement and ecommerce performance analysis.
• Demonstrated knowledge of Amazon advertising tools, metrics and measurement methodologies, including Amazon Marketing Cloud.
• Familiarity with omnichannel measurement, customer journey analysis and upper-funnel media evaluation.
• Advanced capability in SQL and experience with business intelligence and visualization platforms such as Tableau, Looker or similar tools.
• Working knowledge of statistical or analytical tools such as Python, R or equivalent.
• Ability to design measurement frameworks that connect media investment to broader business outcomes.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex analysis for non-technical audiences.
