We are now looking for our next Superstar in Digital Strategy & Tactics to join our Insights & Analytics Team.
As a Digital Strategy & Tactics Manager, you supply our company with day to day tactics designed to help our artists grow on digital platforms using data-driven approaches. You work with Amplify and our Project Managers to make sure that we bet on the right tracks, at the right moment, using the best fit growth strategies.
You will also be a driver in Innovation and will take part in future proofing our company, by always knowing what’s around the corner, through research and actively participating in our global forums.
Amplify consists of 4 different teams: Insights & Analytics, Media & Advertising, Influence & Activations, and finally Audience & Engagement. With these teams by your side, you will have access to a wide array of tools to be used in your tactical creations, through highly collaborative efforts.

Who are you?
You are a highly collaborative person (we are a central team) with a Growth Hacker- and Tactical Mindset. You are quick to action ideas and used to work in a sprint oriented environment. You love to share and educate, making easy to understand (and pretty) presentations and visualizations that make data actionable and easy to read. You are a person who is curious, forward-leaned, and a trend spotter who understands how to adapt new ideas to our own business. You have a deep understanding of Music Streaming Platforms and Social Media Outlets, knowing how to navigate them and what makes them tick.
The Tech Side of the Role
You will have access to readily built state of the art insights dashboards, analytics tools, and like-minded colleagues all over the world, but as our raw data is hosted in BigQuery you might need to tap into the richness of data points and tables through scripting or programming as you go deep in our data lake to find answers.
That 20%
