Optimisation Consultant

AND Introduction

At AND, we accelerate the development of digital capabilities. In practice, that means helping ambitious leaders and organisations build the teams, products, processes and even operational structures they need to close the digital skills gap within their organisation today, so that they thrive tomorrow.

Clients rely on our experience, agility and craft skills across tech and business strategy, software development and product management to address some of the toughest challenges facing their businesses.

We bring aboard thinkers, tinkerers, passionate software craftspeople and inspiring technologists to help us solve these challenges. Together, we’re united by a sense of pragmatism, purpose and a deeply-held belief that digital products and technology alone won’t transform a business or save the world: it’s the people that count.

AND Consulting

AND Consulting (part of the AND Digital family) connects clients to our transformational consulting expertise, helping them solve their most complex, ambiguous and strategic problems in new, inspiring and innovative ways. We collaborate with our clients to build remarkable digital products, together.

The Data & Insight Practice in AND Consulting helps our clients to use data to make business choices based on evidence AND support them in embedding data into their strategy and ways of working. We cover areas such as data, analytics, optimisation and experimentation. We’ve worked with clients to transform their use of data, including designing a new data strategy for a leading press & media organisation or setting up an experimentation framework to test and optimise features on a brand new digital product for a market-leading food & beverage company.

About You

As an Optimisation Consultant, you will be working on experimentation consulting projects with AND Digital’s household name clients. You could be working on projects which involve:

• Helping clients develop their approach to experimentation and do more high-value experiments
• Training client teams how to do experimentation better and demonstrating those techniques in a hands-on way (eg through workshops or working closely with their teams)
• Collaboration with Product, UX design, Technology and business teams to improve how experiments are executed
• Getting ‘hands on’ with customer data, digging into large data sets to find insights and customer problems to help form experimentation idea backlogs

As a result, you will need to be able to:

• Run quantitative and qualitative analysis on client’s customer data to understand why they do or don’t convert.
• Use the data to identify insights to inform hypotheses and test ideas.
• Analysing and evaluating A/B tests, reporting on results and recommending next steps to clients.
• Communication of test results both to relevant client teams and a range of different audiences
• Be comfortable in a professional services environment moving between various client engagements

To do that, it’s essential you bring the following:

• Experience of techniques such as experimentation, A/B testing, MVT, CRO
• Experience of using common analytics platforms and/or visualisation tools such as Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Tableau, PowerBI, Google Data Studio etc.
• Ability to present complex information clearly to non-technical audiences

It’s helpful if you also have:

• Previous consulting or professional services experience (or consulting-type roles) in a data, analytics or optimisation role
• Previous experience with A/B testing tools (and any associated software)
• Ability to turn insight into actionable recommendations
• Ability to handle multiple projects and prioritise responsibilities

We are looking for Consultants in both London and Manchester/Leeds.

Joining AND

From the work we deliver, to the way we serve and support our people, we work hard to ensure that there’s nowhere quite like AND. But joining a company is a two-way street: the fit has to work on both sides. So before you apply, here’s three key things to understand about us:

• We’re built for people – like, real humans. Not ‘resources’ or ‘staff’. That means happiness and wellbeing really do matter to us, and we hate unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy.
• There’s no well-trodden path ahead: AND is growing fast and forging a new trail. That’s exciting, and gives us all the autonomy and opportunity we love – but bear in mind it also demands focus, patience and resilience.
• Diversity is a priority. After all, to build great products that a wide variety of different people love to use, we need a wide variety of people to help us build them. So diversity is more than a policy or a word: it’s business critical for us.

Still sound good? Great! Fill out the short application form below and we’ll be in touch.
