Associate Project Director

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;This role forms part of a globally distributed business intelligence team, whose objective is to ensure that one of our most important global accounts have access to the right data and insights in order to inform their marketing decisions.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The team’s primary responsibility is to maintain a global Google Cloud based reporting solution, which automates the collection and transformation of disparate marketing data into a single source of truth.&amp;nbsp; Not only does that mean running and maintaining the solution that already exists, but also continually improving it to incorporate new data sources, and to derive new insights, to support ever-evolving business demands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;As a BI Developer your primary responsibility will be to create and maintain data models and views and reporting templates (within Google Data Studio &amp;amp; BigQuery), to help teams make sense of the underlying data, and to understand the true performance of their media campaigns.&amp;nbsp; You will also act as the primary point of contact for a subset of users, gathering their evolving needs and supporting them in the use of the solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the things we’d like you to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Work with account leadership to understand and track the reporting needs for upcoming campaigns and marketing programs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Lead the creation and weekly refresh of campaign-specific instances within the reporting solution, often requiring coordination of dependent tasks across disciplines and/or geographies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Support members of the team tasked with maintaining the underlying data infrastructure by troubleshooting data issues and running scheduled tasks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Ensure users have the necessary skills &amp;amp; knowledge to use the reporting solution, including helping maintain training materials and knowledge base&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Be the first-line of support for users, triaging queries as they come in, providing them with hands-on support where possible, and connecting them with other disciplines and experts when necessary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Over the last few years investment in Brand advertising has been relatively low in comparison to their competitors. What was going to be an exciting 2020 launch of their new brand campaign was postponed due to Covid - 19. That said,&amp;nbsp; Airbnb have come back into the market full force in 2021 with various exciting Brand/MidFunnel campaigns for their Guest, Host, Olympics and their Online Experience campaigns. Airbnb is a unique brand with its offering to consumers and we want to show consumers in various markets that actually travelling with Airbnb and being hosted is actually the best way to travel. Whilst the pandemic has stalled outbound travel, what we are seeing in various markets is inbound travel picking up and consumers want to travel in their own countries and therefore demand is picking up especially in various market corridors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;This is a Global account, with clients in the US and local divisional clients whom we speak to on a daily basis. The account is fast paced and requires at times quick turnarounds and management of various markets within EMEA (UK, FR, DE,&amp;nbsp; IT and ES). Our clients are savvy media marketeers and have a passion for creative. Creative positioning needs to land with the brand qualities and authenticity of&amp;nbsp; Airbnb and their audience, therefore the quality and premiumness of formats and its environments&amp;nbsp; are a given when planning. Airbnb are always keen on pushing the boundaries and showcasing exciting media opportunities through strategic and clever media planning. They want to stand out and showcase the best of what Airbnb can offer to their audience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
