Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa MyRunway Full time R300 000 - R525 000 per year

Cape Town

ROLE OVERVIEW

Everyone has opinions.

You have receipts.

You're the person who hears, "I think the campaign did well," and your left eye twitches.

You want the numbers. The truth. The why.

If your love language is conditional formatting, welcome to your new playground.

At MyRunway, data runs the show.

We trade off it. We plan off it. We live by it.

We're looking for someone who can connect numbers to real-world action, fast, clearly, and confidently.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Insight & Analysis

  • Tear into sales, traffic, customer behaviour, and product performance
  • Turn raw chaos into "here's what matters" commercial intel
  • Catch patterns, warning signs, and opportunities before anyone else clocks them

Trading Support

  • Watch the numbers like a hawk: daily, weekly, brand-by-brand
  • Call out spikes, dips, and plot twists the moment they happen
  • Break down exactly what changed and what the teams should do next

Demand & Supply Collaboration

  • Team up with Demand to sharpen campaigns with real-time intel
  • Work with Supply to expose stock risks, replen wins, and margin movers

Customer & Site Behaviour

  • Follow the customer journey like a detective: where they click, bounce, stall, or convert
  • Spot friction instantly and suggest fixes that move conversion, not just aesthetics

Reporting That Drives Action

  • Explain insights like a human, not a textbook
  • Keep data squeaky-clean, consistent, and flowing across systems

PERSONAL SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES

Your Toolkit

  • Google Analytics / GA4
  • Excel + Google Sheets (you can bend a pivot table to your will)
  • BI tools: Looker/ Tableau / Qlikview / Power BI
  • Bonus: SQL — not required, but a very nice flex

EXPERIENCE

  • A degree or diploma in something analytical: Stats, Maths, Information Systems, Economics, Commerce, or Marketing Analytics
  • OR proven experience in e-commerce, BI, data analysis, or commercial analytics (we value real-world skill just as much)
  • Strong analytical instincts, sharp business sense, and a brain that naturally joins the dots

If you want your work to have impact, love seeing insights turn into action by lunchtime, and want to be in the room where data actually drives decisions, you'll love it here.

Runway is committed to transformation and redressing of past inequalities. Our employment equity goals will be taken into account in our selection process.

Thanks so much for your interest in MyRunway We're lucky to receive a lot of applications, and while we try to respond to everyone, if you don't hear back from us within two weeks, it means we've moved forward with other candidates. We truly appreciate you taking the time to apply
