We are now looking for an experienced Data Scientist. Actually. You can call yourself Data Analyst, Data Guru, Analytics Enthusiast or Easter Bunny if you like, the thing is: we have data and you are good at data.

You will work with large amounts of data, from a range of different sources such as Youtube, Facebook, TikTok, etc, finding patterns and insights to help us identify business opportunities and inform our strategy.

You lead and coordinate research initiatives to help build a deep understanding of our core metrics, users, and business areas.
