ITV is on a mission to Supercharge Streaming and Optimise Broadcast with data and insight right at the centre of our digital transformation strategy. The business faces many challenges ahead to achieve this vision: What content should we commission? Which audiences are the most commercially attractive for us? What should our marketing strategy be? How do we optimise our product to improve view through rates? How do we use VOD (Video on Demand) to offset declines to Linear? Whatever the question, the ITV Insights Group is here to lead the business to its most successful future by putting insight, powered by research and data, at the heart of every key decision.

We are seeking Data Analysts to join the ITV Insight Group's analytics function.
