Customer Data jobs and careers
The use of data in marketing is increasing exponentially. Businesses now want to tap into the massive amounts of data they have on their customers from in-store sales, online performance, conversions, returns, pricing data, and much more. From this, a Customer Data specialist can work closely with other areas of a business to make commercial recommendations that can either increase sales and drive conversions.
Why consider a career in Customer Data?
A career as a Customer Data Specialist allows one to apply their data analysis skills to real-world, commercial scenarios. Retail, eCommerce and banking are the industries with the largest insight & analytics teams. There are many agencies that specialise in customer analytics, with many traditional marketing agencies now offering this as a service to clients.
