Do you have an excellent eye for detail, especially around data trends?

Our Digital Media team are recruiting for a Reporting Lead to join their newly formed team on a permanent basis. You’ll be part of an entrepreneurial team of 4 and will be the main point of contact for how we surface and visualise performance marketing data to our 9 publishing houses as well as the wider business.

You will draw on your curiosity and passion for data to draw actionable campaign insights for in-flight and future campaigns and will be the go-to person for marketers across the business to form visual data dashboards and reports.

This newly created role will suit someone who is curious, analytical and determined to be a key part of our specialist Digital Media team, that forms part of our wider Penguin Brand division.

The department, made up of around 65 people, includes experts from digital marketing, brand, communications, design, consumer insights, events production and more.

The iconic Penguin brand - the only consumer-facing brand in publishing - sits at the heart of what we do. With the recent rapid growth in online sales, we have an exciting opportunity to leverage the power of our brand to help new and different readers discover our books and to champion the causes we care about. We’ve recently undergone an internal reorganisation in our department to help us take advantage of this unique opportunity, which includes building a leading digital marketing team and platform.

**Our approach to hybrid working**:
While our offices are places for you to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, having flexibility about where you work is just as important for doing your best work and for your wellbeing. So, we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to how we work across Penguin Random House UK.

For this role, there are regular meetings and activities that you will need to attend in person mainly at our offices in Nine Elms. Outside of these moments, you can choose to work remotely.

The exact balance of office to remote working can be discussed with your future manager during the recruitment process. What we can say now is that you won’t need to go into the office five days a week (unless of course you want to)

**What you can expect from us**:
**Salary**: £40,000 - £50,000 dependent on how your skills and experience align to the role, plus bonus and benefits.
