Togather started life as Feast It, in 2017, as a booking platform for people to book street food caterers for their birthday parties and weddings. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s biggest events platform as Togather for food, drink, venues, photographers and so much more.

We’re here to help people make amazing memories on some of the biggest and best days of their lives. Whether they’re planning the whole-company summer party, hosting an epic dinner party, or running an entire festival, we can - and do - help with all of it.

None of this would be possible without our amazing community of partners, who we handpick from across the country.

The Role:

We are looking for a Data Lead or a Snr Data Analyst to lead our data strategy in the business. Our vision is that data informs the beginning and end of every decision that we make, and this means the role will work closely with all areas of the business to empower and elevate their decision making. In line with our squads model, this role will help explore big business questions such as modelling and forecasting, as well as contribute to the product discovery process and champion better insights and analytics.

You'll report to our Head of Product  but find yourself interacting with the wider senior management team. We're looking for someone who is independent, autonomous, passionate about showing what can be achieved with data and about creating a culture that encourages people to learn through.

  • Work along with the team and business with ongoing A/B testing and analysis

Requirements

Ideally you will have a breadth of experience in extracting insights across many different data sources (e.g. relational databases, Google Analytics, Segment, Split.io), transforming data via DBT, and visualising those insights using a range of tools (e.g.

Looker, Google Sheets).

  • Experience in defining and creating metrics for consumption by our BI tool and other services
  • Experience using data visualisation tools. We use Looker and experience here will be a big bonus, but other tools & experiences are of course still relevant.
  • Adept at executing end-to-end analytics projects: gathering requirements, defining measures of success, validating data sources and analysis methods, delivering insights and presenting to stakeholders to ensure the key insights and recommendations are identified and delivered
  • Experience in analysing data to draw business-relevant conclusions and in data visualisation techniques and tools
  • Advanced SQL skills and experience transforming data with DBT
  • Excellent understanding of commercial KPIs with strong ability in storytelling, providing proactive as well as reactive insight.
