About the role

Immediate has gone from being a print-focused business to a multi-channel powerhouse in recent years, with digital advertising now making up more than two-thirds of our total ad revenues.

This is where you come in. As a new addition to our team, you will help us showcase our Commercial Data offering to our ad customers; making data the core of what we do with both clients and media agencies. You will also use your market savvy and skills to shape our data offering in the future and bring our user insights to the forefront of our commercial offering. This is a largely market-facing role, reporting to the Head of Commercial Data & Analytics, and working closely with the Director of Digital Trading.
