About the Role

We're looking for a Data Analyst focusing on MarTech & Growth to join the marketing team at On the Beach. The role will report to the Senior Marketing Analyst. This is a hands‑on role for someone who loves turning data into actionable insights that drive real business impact. You'll be working at the intersection of data, marketing, and growth strategy; building the infrastructure we need while uncovering the stories hidden in our numbers.


This role is ideal for a data analyst who wants to go beyond just building dashboards and reports. You'll be supporting our marketing team with everything from attribution modelling and channel performance analysis, to creating insights that shape our growth and acquisition strategy.


What You’ll Be Doing Day To Day

  • Work on technical marketing platform projects, including website tagging, tracking, and analytics implementations.
  • Analyzing marketing performance across acquisition channels (e.g. SEO, PPC, paid social, affiliates) to optimize spend and drive growth.
  • Translating complex data findings into compelling insights and presentations for stakeholders across the business.
  • Building and maintaining marketing analytics dashboards and data pipelines that the team relies on daily.
  • Identifying opportunities in our data and working collaboratively with the wider marketing team to turn insights into marketing activities.

Required Skills and Experience

  • Proficiency with Google Tag Manager and Looker Studio (or similar BI tools).
  • Strong SQL skills – this is the backbone of the role, so you need to be comfortable writing complex queries and working with large datasets.
  • Experience working with marketing data platforms and martech.
  • GA4 experience.
  • Hands‑on experience with BigQuery (or similar data warehouses like Snowflake or Databricks).

Broader Skills

  • A growth mindset with experience in growth strategy or marketing analytics.
  • Strong data visualization and dashboard design skills – you know how to make data accessible and actionable.
  • Excellent collaboration and presentation skills – you're comfortable presenting insights back to the team and explaining technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with search marketing (SEO/PPC) data is preferred but not a dealbreaker.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in travel, tourism, or other B2C eCommerce sectors.
  • Familiarity with popular ad platforms, including Google Ads and Meta.
  • Experience with Dataform or dbt for BigQuery modeling.
  • Python or R (nice‑to‑have).
  • Experience with Bloomreach, or CRM data.
  • Familiarity with ETL processes, data pipelines, and data governance best practices.

Interview Process

We’ll run a 3‑stage interview process, one stage of which will be an in‑person interview at our fabulous Aeroworks office in Manchester city centre.


We want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to perform at their best. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the interview process please let the Talent Acquisition team know and they will be happy to assist.


Ways of Working

Our full‑time hours are 37.5 per week, but we don't have rigid working hours so you can find the working pattern that's right for you. We have core working hours between 10am - 4pm, so we can collaborate and enjoy the social side of work.


We also have hybrid working so we all work from home and from our Aeroworks office in Manchester City Centre. As a team we are in the office 2 days per week (usually Tuesday & Wednesday).


Benefits

  • 25 days holiday plus your birthday off
  • Generous discount on holidays, plus you will receive 2 extra days annual leave on top of your holiday allowance to use whilst you're away on your On the Beach package holiday
  • Access to Learnerbly learning platform, plus workshops, courses and professional qualifications

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
