M&C Saatchi Group is an exciting and dynamic business in the advertising and communications sector. How we engage with our Planet, People and Suppliers is a key part of our business – setting us up for commercial and operational success in the years to come. Being able to collect, analyse and visualise our data has huge potential for driving meaningful decisions and insights as we leverage the power of data to unlock new opportunities, solve problems, and create value.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who loves accurately collecting and visualising data for technical and non-technical audiences and decision-makers.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Data Analyst to join our team. In this Global role, you will be responsible for gathering accurate, reliable, and timely data from various sources to support our Planet and People goals across our business and suppliers. This includes data on environmental and social impact, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, as well as supplier management data.

You will collect and transform this data into clear, compelling visual stories that drive business insights and inform strategic decision-making.

You will also be responsible for responding to requests for information (RFIs) from clients. Speed and accuracy of response is of the essence. This is currently an ad hoc process involving multiple subject area specialists across the business. With support from these stakeholders, you will streamline and centralise our approach and deliver responses in a timely and accurate manner.

What you'll do:Undertake Data Projects for Reporting, including:
  • GHG emissions data collection from M&C Saatchi Businesses
  • Planet & People metrics and wider ESG data collection
  • Clean Planet and People Positive Campaigns data (including liaising with project owners to clarify and classify data)
  • Build macro picture of data and trends across our Planet and People Commitments
Respond to client requests (RFIs) for ESG information
  • Undertake ESG responses for complex client RFIs (RFIs undertaken through third party platforms)
  • Ensure required data is complete, consistent and held centrally
  • Ensure responses are undertaken within tight deadlines
Develop Vendor Data Visualisation
  • Work with the Vendor Manager to develop and maintain data visualisation of key vendor projects and KPIs
Data Collection:
  • Coordinate and collaborate with different departments to gather data needed for reporting, analysis, and decision-making.
Data Validation and Accuracy:
  • Verify the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of data collected from different sources.
  • Review data for consistency and resolve any discrepancies or issues before it is used for further analysis.
  • Ensure that all data collected adheres to company standards, policies, and any regulatory requirements.
Data Entry and Management:
  • Enter collected data into appropriate databases, spreadsheets, or data management systems.
  • Organize and maintain data in a structured manner to ensure it is easily accessible and retrievable when needed.
  • Regularly update data and ensure it is kept current and relevant to ongoing projects and analyses.
Reporting and Analysis Support:
  • Preparing reports, summaries, and presentations based on the collected data.
Compliance and Confidentiality:
  • Ensure all data collection processes comply with relevant regulations and company policies, especially in areas such as privacy and data protection.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of sensitive data and ensure it is handled according to company standards.
Collaboration and Communication:
  • Work closely with other departments, stakeholders, and external partners to gather data and ensure it aligns with project objectives.
  • Communicate effectively to clarify data requirements and ensure alignment with data collection goals.
ABOUT YOU

We are looking for candidates who are committed to making this new role a success, and who enjoy working with data. You will be proactive and organised with strong attention to detail. You will be competent in working with spreadsheets and PowerPoint to both collect data and present data insights in a visually compelling way.

While existing knowledge of ESG data would be an advantage, it is not a requirement for candidates.

What you're good at:
  • Being tenacious and able to chase teams and secure data;
  • Accuracy and attention to detail, including during data inputting;
  • Transforming complex, raw data into visually engaging and easy-to-understand charts, graphs, and infographics.
  • Designing data visualizations that effectively communicate insights, trends, and key metrics for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Strong proficiency in data analysis and data manipulation techniques that simplify complex data and effectively communicate insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
  • Completing projects from start-to-end.
What you'll bring:
  • Experience of working with data and data visualisation
  • Strong stakeholder management skills and proven capability to communicate requirements to stakeholders and provide support to deliver them.
  • Fluent English language skills.

The recruitment process will involve an interview and an in-person assessment test of technical competency in data management, processing and visualisation.

WHAT WE OFFER

For the right candidate we will offer a competitive salary, 20 days holiday and a selection of benefits that include Discovery Medical Aid contribution and EAP, Pension contributions and Risk, company swag, socials and more.
