Ecommerce Data Analyst
The vast amount of data that is available to the modern ecommerce operation is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it allows incredibly detailed analysis of customer behaviour, supply and logistics bottlenecks, retail trends and the overall efficiency of the business. But on the other hand, it can be difficult to find the relevant data to focus on in the flood of information flowing in. A data analyst in ecommerce is the person charged with crystallising the useful statistics and turning them into actionable information and advice.
The ecommerce data analyst will be someone who has experience in handling large and complex data sets and making sense of them. Where the online retailer has in-house logistics and transport to get products from suppliers and warehouses to customers, the analyst often works with the sales and marketing teams to assure delivery for promotions or launches. However, with the growth of third-party logistics, analysts also increasingly offer data analysis to external retailers as a service, which retailers can use to plan their own strategies. That will require a wider view of retail, and an ability to immerse oneself in different sectors.
The skills required
An unshakeable aptitude for dealing with large sets of numbers is the prime quality in the ecommerce data analyst. You’ll be in a position to save companies potentially millions a year through your findings and advice.
That means that you will also need to be a great communicator, able to distill raw data into forms that are relatable to the board members for whom data analysis might not be a strong suit.
Ecommerce Data Analyst Jobs in Tamworth
The town of Tamworth is the largest town in Staffordshire, although the largest settlement is the city of Stoke-on-Trent. Due to its south-eastern location, however, the town probably has more of an affiliation with Birmingham; Tamworth is just 12 miles (20 km) from the centre of Birmingham, and 6 miles (10 km) from Sutton Coldfield. The M42 passes to the east, connecting Birmingham with the M1, and to the west the M6 toll road heads north and south.
The town has a rich history, and was once larger than Birmingham; indeed it was even the capital of Mercia under Kind Offa in the 9th century. It was raided and destroyed by the Danes and re-founded by Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred the Great. There was probably a Saxon fort in the town, but it is thought that Tamworth Castle was built on its grounds; the castle still stands to this day. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the town became industrialised, mainly thanks to the abundant coal nearby. Canals and railways came, and engineering, brick and tile making and the textile industries grew up. In latter years, Tamworth was the home of the Reliant factory, famous for its Robin and Scimitar cars; the factory no longer exists, however.
Tamworth, with its links to both Birmingham and Staffordshire, and thanks to its ideal location in the midlands, is a perfect place to find Ecommerce Data Analyst positions, and they become available reasonably frequently here and in its surrounding area. It is certainly worth taking a look or contacting Cast UK directly to talk about your needs.
