We are passionate about transforming data into insights, and insights into action through a seamless consumer experience that drives results for our Retail customers and their CPG partners. Our sole mission is to convert shoppers into buyers, and buyers into loyal fans so that we are the UK Retailers’ partner of choice for shopper engagement and loyalty.
The role
You will own day-to-day Analytics delivery for Catalina’s Sainsbury’s account and proactively uncover insight that helps Commercial create stronger client conversations and new opportunities. By understanding the business, shopper behaviour and the wider retail market, you will spot patterns, challenge assumptions and bring useful nuggets, pitch hooks and new ideas to the team. You will stay close to upcoming meetings and pitches and turn discoveries into checked evidence and recommendations.
Your remit covers the account’s data and insight offering, including Power BI, reporting, targeting, segmentation and measurement. You will help Commercial use these capabilities confidently through coaching and practical workshops. You will work independently within agreed priorities, with support from the Head of Analytics for strategic direction and escalation.
The role sits within the Analytics & Insights function as part of a two-person team, alongside the Head of Analytics & Insights, to whom this role reports.
Key responsibilities
· Build a deep understanding of Sainsbury’s business priorities, Catalina’s offering and the retail and loyalty market. Stay close to Commercial’s pipeline, upcoming client meetings and pitches so your analysis addresses opportunities that matter.
· Proactively uncover commercial opportunities. Explore shopper and campaign data from different angles, including segments, categories, stores and trends over time. Bring evidence-backed nuggets, pitch hooks and new ideas to Commercial, with a clear recommendation or test.

· Lead Power BI delivery. Build and improve models, Power Query transformations, DAX measures and reports; monitor refreshes and data quality; investigate issues with technical colleagues; and guide users in interpreting results.
· Coach Commercial on targeting, segmentation and measurement. Help shape audience and targeting briefs, eligibility and exclusion rules, test and control approaches and success measures. Run practical workshops and create reusable guidance.
· Deliver targeting and performance analysis across the Sainsbury’s account, including My Favourite Deals and Nectar360 activity. Validate outputs and explain customer behaviour, campaign results and incremental impact, with clear limitations.
· Turn discoveries into a clear client story. Equip Commercial with compelling evidence, pitch hooks, recommendations and reusable examples for proposals and performance reviews. Join client conversations and help turn promising findings into practical next steps.
· Own account analytics requests from the initial question through to a checked result. Coordinate delivery with offshore analysts, agree priorities and timescales, communicate progress and raise material risks early.
