Analytics & Measurement Lead York | Hybrid, 3 days in office £65K DOE + benefitsHere's the situation: a UK-wide group with 170+ local sites has outgrown its own tracking setup. Everything currently runs client-side, so it's exposed to ad blockers and browser restrictions, there's no audience segmentation, and no formal measurement plans exist. Someone needs to build all of that from scratch, and that someone is you.This isn't a "maintain what's there" role. You'll be setting the strategy, building the standards, and getting hands-on with the implementation yourself, then turning that into guidance regional teams across Europe can follow.What's in it for you? Salary up to £65KHybrid working, 3 days in the office, with flexible hoursHealth cash planRetail discountsDiscounted services25 days holiday plus bank holidays and volunteering daysOption to buy and sell holidayPensionFunding and support with courses and educationDog friendly office Three things that matter most for this one:You'll lead the move from client-side to server-side tagging, giving the business a metrics-subdomain setup that captures data properly rather than losing it to browser restrictions.You'll own pixel tracking and tagging alongside the analytics itself, so you're not just reporting on a setup someone else built, you're building it.You'll need a genuinely solid grip on cookie consent and GDPR, with a clear view on how the data layer should govern what gets tracked and why.Day to day, expect to be: Setting Group-wide measurement strategy, tagging standards and governanceHands-on with GTM and server-side tagging implementationDefining event, data-layer and conversion-tracking standards across a large, multi-site estateMapping measurement across genuinely complex journeys, websites, booking engines, PMS/PIMS systems and marketing platformsWorking out cross-domain tracking, offline conversion measurement, QR-code attribution and campaign identificationMaking sure paid media gets reliable, consent-aware conversion signalsOwning QA and data quality across the boardSitting alongside Growth, CX and Content teams, turning their questions into measurable outcomes What you'll need to bring: Strong, advanced-level GTM and GA4 experienceA real understanding of server-side tagging and modern measurement architectureExperience building measurement plans and data-layer/event specs from the ground upA track record tracking journeys across multiple domains and systemsConsent-aware analytics know-how, including cookie consent/GDPR and advertising conversion signalsSharp debugging, QA and data quality instinctsThe ability to turn technical measurement into insight non-technical stakeholders can actually act onExperience setting standards for, and supporting, less technical regional teams Why this one's worth a look: it's genuinely a build-from-scratch role, not a "keep the lights on" one, and there's a serious amount of data across the estate to get into.Two-stage process.
