Job Details

INTRODUCTION

At Burberry, we believe creativity opens spaces. Our purpose is to unlock the power of imagination to push boundaries and open new possibilities for our people, our customers and our communities. This is the core belief that has guided Burberry since it was founded in 1856 and is central to how we operate as a company today.

We aim to provide an environment for creative minds from different backgrounds to thrive, bringing a wide range of skills and experiences to everything we do. As a purposeful, values-driven brand, we are committed to being a force for good in the world as well, creating the next generation of sustainable luxury for customers, driving industry change and championing our communities.

JOB PURPOSE

Burberry is making a major investment in expanding our data and analytics capability. Over the last few years, we've created a global omni-channel single-customer view, built an outstanding analytics platform and developed a small but highly effective digital analytics and data science team. We've built a great capability in the digital part of our business and we're now ready to build on these foundations to make a quantum leap forward in the sophistication and breadth of data-inspired decision-making across the whole of Burberry. The fashion industry hasn't historically been at the forefront of data and analytics innovation but, at Burberry, we aim to change this...

You'll be joining a team with a hugely ambitious, well-funded and exciting roadmap in a role with great scope to shape our data strategy. You'll be joining at the start of the next stage on our journey, so you'll have the opportunity to influence our plans as well as deliver them. You'll be implementing and using the most modern tools in the market with limited/no legacy technology and tools holding you back. You'll have a rare opportunity to apply analytics and data science in a creatively-driven business - combining art and science to create beautiful things. You'll be joining a team that is already using advanced techniques like deep learning, machine vision and AI to drive real value for our business. You'll be working for an organisation that is optimistic, positive, tolerant and respectful but also audacious, ambitious and driven. You'll be working with and supported by an amazing Data Technology function that is a true partner in delivering our strategy. You'll find yourself a team that is passionate about, and invests heavily in, training and development. And finally, you'll be working on a global scale but in a company small enough that everyone can have their voice heard and make a difference.

Does that sound exciting? If so, we're recruiting a large number of roles and this is one of them ...

We are recruiting a Data Analyst to join our expanding team.
