A strong opportunity for a hands-on Data Lead to join an award-winning digital marketing agency with a 15-year track record and a client base of 50+ brands. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love getting into the detail of tagging and tracking, and can translate data into clear recommendations — this is worth a look.

THE COMPANY Our client is an established, award-winning digital media agency covering SEO, PPC, Social, Content, Digital PR and Data. They work with well-known brands across travel, tech and retail — managing complex, multi-site digital ecosystems for clients at scale. The data team is small and focused, which means your work has direct visibility and real impact across the business.

THE ROLE
  • Lead on tagging and tracking implementation across client websites — some clients operate 240+ sites, so pace and precision matter
  • Troubleshoot and scope server-side tagging requirements
  • Manage BigQuery set-ups and translate data into visualised outputs via Looker
  • Provide consultative analysis for clients — turning data into clear, actionable recommendations
  • Support CRO and UX measurement frameworks
  • Split roughly 65% implementation, 20–30% measurement strategy, remainder analysis and insight
YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
  • GA4 and GTM are essential — hands-on, demonstrable experience required
  • Server-side tagging experience is strongly preferred
  • Looker is the primary visualisation tool; Power BI or Tableau also considered
  • SQL and BigQuery experience is a strong plus
  • CRO and UX experience is ideal
  • Agency-side background is needed — comfort managing multiple clients simultaneously is key
  • Able to handle high volume, fast-moving workloads across varied client sets
SALARY AND BENEFITS
  • Up to £50,000 base salary
  • Remote-first — occasional travel to Folkestone (monthly or quarterly)
  • Work across a diverse portfolio of 50+ clients
  • Fast-paced, high-ownership role within a focused data team
  • Autonomy to lead on implementation and shape how data is used across client accounts

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
