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.

Job Details

  • Seniority level: Mid‑Senior level
  • Employment type: Temporary
  • Job function: Information Technology

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
