Data & Insights Analyst

Welcome to Ascot where tradition meets innovation and excitement is the heartbeat of our business.

We are a destination for over 500,000 guests each year where passion, elegance, and celebration converge, and it is our team of behind‑the‑scenes heroes that bring every intricate detail to life.

As one of the world's leading racecourses, Ascot is renowned for its rich heritage spanning over 300 years. But we are not bound by the past; we're driven by the pursuit of excellence in everything we do.

From hosting our flagship event, Royal Ascot, to pioneering sustainable practices, we are committed to building a global lifestyle brand, wrapped around the world‑class horse racing we stage.

At Ascot we believe in preserving the beauty of our surroundings and minimising our ecological footprint. From eco‑friendly initiatives to community engagement programs, we strive to make a positive impact on both the environment and the lives of those around us.

We are currently seeking a Marketing & Commercial Data & Insights Analyst to join our forward‑thinking, vibrant team, based in our offices at the racecourse in Ascot, Berkshire.

As Marketing & Commercial Data & Insights Analyst, you will play a key role in Ascot’s Digital Transformation Strategy, contributing to Ascot’s vision to be the leading brand in global horse racing, with an impact beyond the track. You will be the first dedicated analyst within the business, helping us translate our growing volumes of data into meaningful insights that driver smarter decisions and stronger commercial outcomes.

As this is the first dedicated analyst role within the business, without a wider central Data Insights Team, you will be a self‑starter who is comfortable with working independently. You will work most closely with the marketing and technology teams, as well as wider commercial departments such as sales, memberships and partnerships to bring data to life, inform strategic decisions and drive revenue growth.

You will also be responsible for providing impactful insights which contribute towards improvements in digital campaign performance and audience segmentation, uncover and support new partnership activation opportunities, and act as a guardian of Ascot’s commercial data infrastructure and processes. This is a fantastic opportunity for a curious, commercially minded, collaborative individual to join a passionate team at an exciting time of growth.
