Are you passionate about insights and eager to dive deep into global music streaming data? Can you translate complex data into marketing strategies, business actions and impactful decisions? Does dance music inspire you to work hard (and play hard)? Then you may just be the chosen one.

As Armada Music’s new Research & Insights Manager, you will provide the insights that drive business decisions and support the growth of our artists and catalogue. With a highly analytical and inquisitive mindset, you will work closely with our Marketing, A&R and other internal teams to turn data into actionable recommendations.

Strong data literacy is essential for this role. We are looking for someone who not only understands data analytics at a deep level, but can also communicate complex findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders. You will transform raw data into valuable insights that help shape business strategy, optimise performance and identify new opportunities for growth.

What will you be doing?

• Develop reporting that measure release performance and support data-driven decision-making;
• Create and enhance dashboards and reports, improving performance and functionality;
• Conduct in-depth analyses that uncover actionable insights and strategic opportunities;
• Identify and evaluate new data sources, methodologies and technologies, including machine learning;
• Act as the company’s subject matter expert on analytics, insights and industry developments;
• Proactively leverage data to improve business performance and identify growth opportunities.

What does the chosen one look like?

• A relevant Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience;
• Proven experience in data analysis and business intelligence;
• Strong collaboration skills and a solid understanding of business processes;
• Experience with Python (including connecting APIs), SQL and GitHub;
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to collect, structure and interpret data;
• Experience working with relational databases and large datasets, using Medallion Data Architecture;
• Experience with Databricks or a similar modern data and analytics platform is a plus;
• Experience within the music industry;
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Nice things to have:

• Experience implementing machine learning models and workflows;
• Experience with MySQL, PHP, Symfony and React, used for our internal insights application;
• Experience with data visualisation and reporting tools.

What do you get in return?

At Armada Music, you’ll pursue your passion on an international scale. Working in an inspiring and music-driven environment, you’ll join a young, ambitious and dynamic team of talented professionals.

We also offer an attractive pension scheme. Our Amsterdam office features a gym and even an in-house club, because great music deserves a great workplace.
