KITE are delighted to be recruiting for the following Head of Analytics role, on behalf of our independent analytics consultancy client, based in their London UK office. Please get in touch for further details…

We are a fast-growing data analytics consultancy helping marketing and finance teams measure incrementality and make smarter commercial decisions.
