Data Selections Analyst

About The Role

As a Data Selections Analyst, you’ll play a key role in turning supporter data into well-targeted, well-timed campaigns across fundraising, membership, Poppy Appeal and campaigns. Working with a CRM database of more than four million records, you’ll use Apteco FastStats and PeopleStage to build and deliver the audience selections behind a wide range of multi-channel activity, from long-term campaign programmes to fast moving requests where priorities can change quickly. You’ll work closely with Campaign Managers and colleagues across Data & Insights, IT and external partners, bringing your technical expertise into the planning process and helping shape the best approach rather than simply taking a brief and running with it.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail of data and understands how the right selection can make a real difference to campaign performance. You’ll need strong experience of data manipulation and CRM or database marketing, ideally with hands on knowledge of Apteco FastStats and PeopleStage or a similar platform. Just as important is the ability to spot what others might miss: understanding consent and suppression requirements, identifying potential clashes or over-communication, challenging a brief where needed and making sure every extract is accurate before it reaches a supporter. You’ll be comfortable managing several campaigns and deadlines at once, while maintaining the high level of accuracy and quality expected when working with millions of supporter records.

This is a role for someone who can combine technical confidence with strong communication and stakeholder skills. You’ll be trusted to explain complex data and selection decisions clearly to non-technical colleagues, work through competing priorities, manage relationships with suppliers and contribute ideas that improve how campaigns are targeted and delivered. You’ll also have the opportunity to use campaign insight, segmentation and propensity modelling to continually refine audience selections and support better return on investment. If you enjoy working where data, technology and direct marketing come together, and want a role where your expertise is genuinely central to how campaigns reach the right supporters, this could be a great opportunity to join the team.

You will be contracted to your home address, and you will perform most of your work remotely there, with occasional travel (incl. For monthly team meetings).
