About the Role
We have outgrown our pure-play ‘start-up’ status and are now in a period of high revenue growth, on track to achieve our vision of becoming the # 1 supplier of digital audience data to the global marketing industry.
We think about the # 1 position in two ways. Clearly, revenue is important in this. But also, MAU – we have an opportunity to scale active usage of GlobalWebIndex data to levels never achieved within our competitive set.
The key enabler for this is our platform. Our most direct competitors are not technology companies (just data vendors), and have no software to speak of. Since we have a best-in-class platform, we control the access to our data and can open it up to a wider group of users that was previously possible.
What our clients say about the platform:
- “By a mile, the most impressive platform we’ve seen” – Google
- “The new PRO Platform rocks!!!” – Cohn & Wolfe
- “I’m truly in love with the new @globalwebindex dashboard” – 1000heads
- “@globalwebindex – playing around with your PRO tool right now, it’s blowing my mind” – Publicis
So far so good.
However, with a packed roadmap and increasingly diverse list of user types, we require an expert UX/UI architect to ensure best-in-class feature development and user experience on an ongoing basis.
You will be an entrepreneur that can visualise new ways of acquiring and retaining users, innovating in your role and forging new ground in UX. You will be a strong strategic thinker, with the ability to reduce complex user frameworks into simple and powerful approaches.
Overall, you will be execution-focused – delivering new experiences and designs into the marketplace on a global level, all year around.
