Our people and culture are central to how we operate. We’re proud to have been named a Sunday Times Best Place to Work for the second year running, as well as Performance Marketing Employer of the Year by PMW.
At Croud, we believe in unlocking potential – elevating our people, our clients and our communities through the power of intelligence, creativity and collaboration.

Croud is an agency with performance and measurement at its core, and our Analytics team is critical to enabling success and growth across our entire client portfolio.
As a Lead Analyst, you will be responsible for spearheading the planning, implementation, and delivery of analytics and measurement solutions, working closely with senior analytics leaders and channel specialists to ensure accurate tracking, reporting, and insight generation.

This requires a keen ability to distill complex and sometimes technical concepts into digestible stories for our clients.
A successful candidate will be keen to experiment, proactive with solutions, and have a desire to understand the “why” behind every metric or data point.
The overall purpose of this role is to build and maintain strong data foundations and measurement strategies for our clients. Your day-to-day work includes, but is not limited to, the planning, setup, implementation, maintenance and improvement of clients’ testing, analysis, and measurement requirements, as well as conversion rate optimization strategies, tracking/attribution (i.e. pixel placement), and data aggregation.
As a Lead Analyst, you will implement and deliver best in class Analytics strategies for clients, leveraging proprietary tools, agentic workflows, and our Croudie Network (community) for implementation and reporting.
