Graduate PPC Data Analyst Coventry

Location: Coventry

Want to become a Graduate Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Data Analyst in one of the UK’s leading and fastest growing B2B packaging suppliers? Kite Packaging is an employee-owned business with ferociously ambitious growth plans. We operate the UK’s largest packaging ecommerce website.

You will be joining an established, profitable, growing technology-backed business and will be part of an industry leading team. This is an opportunity for a highly motivated individual who wants to develop skills in data analytics and digital marketing and learn from some of the best people in the business.

As a Graduate PPC Data Analyst working in Kite Packaging’s ecommerce division in Coventry, you will work at the forefront of Kite’s ecommerce activity. Kite’s marketing, analytics and technical teams foster a culture of shared experience and work in a collaborative, like-minded team environment.

You will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day management and analysis of our paid advertising activity, identifying areas to increase Kite’s return on investment and proposing changes to our PPC approach. You will work alongside our PPC lead who will provide guidance and mentorship enabling you to keep on top of the latest developments in digital advertising, including AI-powered advertising and automation across platforms such as Google, Microsoft and ChatGPT, as well as emerging advertising platforms.

You will be expected to develop commercial understanding alongside the management of the PPC account. PPC advertising is only effective if the product range, the price, and the user experience are all working together. Therefore, you will work closely with the product, commercial and analytics areas of the business, using advertising and customer data to identify opportunities and deliver tangible business outcomes.

The ideal candidate is someone with an eye for detail and process, with the curiosity to dive deeply into PPC and keep on top of changes in the industry. They are not expected to have existing knowledge of PPC advertising and will be given the support and opportunity to develop these skills. We are instead looking for someone who can demonstrate an ability to learn independently and apply that learning in practice, showing the potential to develop into a highly skilled PPC data analyst.

The areas that you will be exposed to includes:

• Website and sales analysis
• Pricing and commercial analysis
• Performance reporting
• PPC management (Google Ads, Google Shopping, Microsoft Ads and ChatGPT Ads)
• Search engine optimisation
• Competitor analysis
• Building reporting and analysis tools
• Advertising measurement and conversion tracking
• Testing and experimentation
