Description

At Pearson, we’re committed to a world that’s always learning and to our talented team who makes it all possible. From bringing lectures vividly to life to turning textbooks into laptop lessons, we are always re-examining the way people learn best, whether it’s one child in our own backyard or an education community across the globe.

Pearson’s Direct To Consumer (DTC) team is looking for a Senior Data & Engineering Lead who will be accountable for defining our top of funnel data strategy and bringing in first, second and third-party data sources that enable the business to generate real-time top-of-funnel insights.

We need a technical expert with experience in leveraging EDWs, web analytics and data feeds, with an ability to think strategically, obsess about the details and implement with speed – with a primary focus on our direct to consumer division, but the ability to socialize these best practices company-wide.

Key Responsibilities:

● Increase our analytics capabilities including first, second and third-party data sources

● Define company-wide metrics and relevant data sources for top-of-funnel marketing

● Partner with data scientists and insights team members to build a real-time insights engine.

● Champion innovation through data with senior marketing and analytics leaders in other lines of business

● Develop and automate ETL processes to support all reporting and analytical data needs.

● Monitor data quality, proactively correcting discrepancies ensuring accuracy

● Database feeds, data blends & manipulation - collaborating with cross functional teams to obtain and blend data to create clear insight.

● Lead on data privacy for the Brand Analytics team (working with Legal and local stakeholders) to ensure our policies are up to date with our intended activity

● Leverage our internal employee community data to exist internal teams in employee engagement activity.
