Introducing Data Analytics at Trainline 👋

Data Analytics is central to how we build products, delight our customers and grow our business. Our Data Analysts are embedded across cross-functional teams which exist across product and marketing. They work closely with Marketing Managers, Product Managers, Software Engineers and Commercial, and partner directly with Embedded Data Scientists and wider data functions. They have a high degree of autonomy and are empowered to drive the success of their teams by enabling the build, measure, learn cycle.

As a Data Analyst in our Marketing team, you will be involved in driving insights into marketing performance, customer acquisition and engagement to enable us to deliver impactful marketing strategies. You’ll create focus and accountability in teams by setting metrics and goals, ensure we’re learning as we progress through experimentation, and ensure we’re feeding insights back into future decision making. Ultimately this will require a strong focus on driving measurable marketing impact, drawing on a broad range of analytical and statistical techniques to unlock the most benefit.

Data Analytics exists within the wider data organisation as part of the tech org and is complemented by Data Science, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Business Intelligence and Data Product Management. This growing and dynamic data team has an outsized impact on business outcomes and will provide the opportunity for growth and development for ambitious Data Analysts.
