At YouGov we have a clear mission: With YouGov Shopper we want to provide vital information about who buys what, where, how much, how often and most importantly why (or why not). We pride ourselves on providing our clients with high quality, complete data, expert advice and unrivalled know-how to help them deliver superior customer experiences at every stage of the shopper journey.

Our YouGov Shopper consumer panel services team manages a panel of around 4000 families in Austria. These households continuously record their purchases using our YouGov Shopper App. Using the data we collect on these daily purchases, we analyse trends in the Austrian market and report these to our clients (manufacturers, retailers, ...).

In an exciting new initiative, we are significantly expanding the panel by focusing on new collection methods. This will enable us to deliver an unprecedented level of detail to FMCG and retail clients.

• Enjoy the learning process by analyzing the current results of the above mentioned processes and are quick to adapt them to keep improving.
• Work closely with a dedicated and dynamic team for this new initiative, but will be part of a broader team of data management colleagues internationally. 
• Feel confident to work with different stakeholders to keep the project running.

You Have:

• A Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in a business, marketing, data science or related field, a first professional experience is a plus.
• An analytical mind, yet you are fond of looking for creative and innovative solutions.
• A keen eye for detail in data handling and working with large datasets.
