Job Summary
Embedding Brand
This team is solving one of the biggest challenges in brand tracking: helping customers actuallyusetheir data. Today most customers log in glance at their metrics and leave without knowing whats changed or what to do about it.
Embedding Brand is changing that through conversational AI and intelligent product experiences that guide customers from raw data to strategic insight.
Youd be leading a team through an early high-signal phase: a pilot is live with real customers and the next step is scaling it. Its a mix of AI product development deep customer understanding and figuring out what good looks like in a space where nobodys cracked it yet.
Brand Data Ecosystems
This team exists to make Tracksuit data work beyond the dashboard. Customers want brand health metrics flowing into their BI tools data warehouses and marketing mix models alongside everything else they measure.
The team is building a new API from the ground up co-designing it directly with customers and partners.
Youd be leading through an early co-build phase with real enterprise and mid-market customers shaping both the technical foundations and the go-to-market motion.
If you like the intersection of platform engineering external-facing product and working closely with customers this is that role.

Youll be a leader for other engineers in the team and be able to support and drive a team technically and commercially; Youll have experience in coaching developing and managing engineers as well as having demonstrated ability to prioritise work.
- Kind: This is such a collaborative role that we ultimately want a great collaborative and supportive team player.
- Youll have ownership over decisions to design the technical solutions that work: Youll be responsible for architecting and designing scalable reliable and secure systems.
- Youll be able to think entrepreneurially focused on business outcomes: Youre not just shipping features. Youre working in team to drive acquisition and activation. That means you get to create a strategy think holistically and do whatever is needed to drive an outcome.
- You get to be experimental: designing experiments trying new approaches to solve problems talking to customers doing discovery sitting alongside product and design and implementing solutions.
