Its expertise covers subscription reporting and forecasting, customer acquisition, renewals, churn reporting, KPI dashboards, budget modelling, lifetime value modelling and campaign performance.

The salary is 26,000 to 28,000 pounds per year, depending on experience, with a performance and profit-related bonus. Other benefits include free car parking, 22 days of annual holiday plus 3 additional days over Christmas and New Year, and a birthday day off.
