The ultimate goal of the Insight & Analytics team at Asos is to drive value from data. We partner with stakeholders to solve complex business problems by interrogating, interpreting and synthesising information about our customers, products, onsite experience and marketing, in light of market intelligence and strategic context to generate strategic insights. We ensure our decisions are focussed on fashion loving 20 somethings globally and support our short- and long-term financial targets.
