Purpose of the Role
The Investment Analyst role is an entry‑level position (circa 0–1 years’ experience) for someone beginning their career in media investment, analytics, and market analysis, with a strong interest in data, technology, and media decision‑making. Working closely with an Investment Manager and the wider Investment team, the role supports the day‑to‑day analysis, reporting, and coordination of media investment activity across channels. This includes assisting with data validation, maintaining investment trackers, supporting pricing and performance analysis, and capturing learnings to inform future investment decisions.
