Join to apply for the Senior Marketing Data Analyst role at Back Market.


Hi, we’re Back Market. We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. Back Market is a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% fewer carbon emissions than new.


Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.


Role Overview

As a Senior Marketing Data Analyst – Performance Marketing at Back Market, you will play a critical role in measuring and optimizing the incremental impact of our digital marketing investments. You will design and implement advanced incrementality measurement frameworks across performance marketing channels, including Paid Search, Shopping, PMAX, SEO, App campaigns, Meta, TikTok, Affiliates and Podcast. Leveraging causal inference techniques such as conversion lift studies, geo experiments, and synthetic control, you’ll provide data‑driven insights that directly inform budget allocation, campaign strategy, and growth decisions.


Key Responsibilities
Performance Marketing Impact Measurement

  • Design and execute incrementality measurement approaches (e.g., geo experiments, conversion lift studies, holdouts) to evaluate the true impact of digital marketing channels such as Paid Search, Shopping, PMAX, App campaigns, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Affiliates and Podcast.
  • Build models to quantify incremental return on ad spend (iROAS), channel lift size and measure cross‑channel interactions.
  • Develop frameworks to continuously monitor and optimize campaign performance based on causal impact rather than last‑click attribution.
  • Collaborate with channel managers to translate insights into bidding strategies, budget reallocations, and creative optimizations.

Causal Inference & Advanced Analytics

  • Apply state‑of‑the‑art causal inference methods (e.g., synthetic control, uplift modeling, difference‑in‑differences) to assess the impact of paid media strategies.
  • Create scalable and automated measurement pipelines in partnership with data engineering teams.
  • Contribute to the development of media mix modeling (MMM) frameworks to complement incrementality experiments.

Predictive Modeling & Optimization

  • Build predictive models for audience segmentation, conversion propensity, lifetime value (LTV), and bidding optimization.
  • Use time‑series modeling and forecasting to predict performance trends and seasonality effects.
  • Ensure statistical rigor through robust model validation, assumption testing, and experimentation best practices.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Communication

  • Partner closely with performance marketing, finance, data engineering, and product analytics teams to build the experimentation calendar, align on measurement methodologies and KPIs.
  • Present complex analytical findings and experiment results to both technical and non‑technical audiences, influencing marketing strategy and budget decisions.
  • Champion a culture of incrementality testing and data‑driven decision‑making within the marketing organization (knowledge sharing, peer review).

Requirements & Skills

  • 4+ years of experience in marketing analytics, data science, or experimentation roles, preferably within performance marketing teams.
  • Proven expertise in incrementality measurement techniques, including geo experiments, conversion lift studies, synthetic control, or uplift modeling.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, including libraries for statistical modeling (e.g., causal inference packages like Meta GeoLift, Causal Impact, etc.).
  • Hands‑on experience analyzing performance marketing channels such as Paid Search, Shopping, PMAX, SEO, App campaigns, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Affiliates and Podcast.
  • Familiarity with A/B testing, media mix modeling, and attribution modeling frameworks.
  • Experience working with large‑scale marketing datasets, visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker), and cloud‑based data platforms Verify (e.g., BigQuery, Google Cloud Platform).
  • Excellent communication skills and a proven track record of translating complex data insights into business impact and educating non‑experts about the benefits of experimentation.
  • Strong analytical rigor and judgment, including critical thinking and problem‑solving skills, rigorous statistical capabilities and logical reasoning, experience with both qualitative and quantitative data analysisMap, ability to build simple yet effective data environments to enable analyses, demonstrated ability to separate signal from noise in complex datasets, comfortable working with imperfect or sparse data without being paralyzed by uncertainty, and a sharp instinct for identifying flawed assumptions and biases in datasets and analyses.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
