Job Description

Our YouGov Shopper Intelligence business manages a panel of 3.000 families in Denmark.

The Data & Quality Specialist will improve database coding through accurate classification and measurement. The Data & Quality Specialist will regularly analyse their work and identify ways to improve data quality and further evolve classification, collaborating with other Data & Operations colleagues to develop comprehensive processes & techniques to drive best practice.

You Will:

  • Support in matching the YouGov Shopper Intelligence purchase database to the passively measured data and vice versa, based on an algorithm and improved manually where needed.

  • Aim to improve the database and coding quality to ameliorate the matching and classification for both sources (MyScan and Optius) of FMCG data.

  • Analyze progress and translate those findings into actionable next steps. 

  • Collaborate with local Data & Operations colleagues as well as a broader team of data management colleagues internationally. 

  • Combine working with different stakeholders to keep the project running smoothly.

You Have:

  • A Masters or Bachelors degree in a business or marketing related field.

  • An analytical approach but with a creative and innovative mindset.

  • A keen eye for detail in data handling and working with large datasheets, both numeric and character.

  • Advanced Excel skills.

  • Solid knowledge of statistical tools (SPSS or R is a plus).

  • Fluent Danish language skills.

  • Advanced English language skills.

  • Proactive, can-do mentality that not only relies on the team but also yourself to overcome the challenges along the way.

  • A first professional experience in Data Analysis is a plus.

We offer:

  • Hybrid working model (x2 days p/w in office)

  • An adventure full of known and unforeseen challenges.

  • The opportunity to further develop your professional skills and talents and build your career within FMCG and data.

  • An exciting work environment that brings people together from different nationalities.
