Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in analytical roles, with a strong bias towards product analytics, growth, or marketplace environments
- Demonstrable experience leading an analytics function or team, including hiring, mentoring, and workflow prioritisation
- Expert SQL and Python skills, including production-grade pipelines, scripting, and automation
- Comfortable using BI tools such as Tableau, PowerBI, Looker, or Lightdash, and running analysis in statistical packages
- Familiarity with LLMs and AI-powered tools to support insight generation, automation, and experimentation
- Proven track record of influencing senior stakeholders with data storytelling and commercial acumen
- Deep understanding of marketplace KPIs: CAC, LTV, take-rate, sale rate, funnel conversion, etc
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to make complex ideas easy to grasp
- A growth mindset: low ego, high curiosity, and an instinct to ask better questions, not just pull data
- If you are an experienced Senior Product Analyst with a passion for cars, watches, and shaping the future of digital platforms, we want you to lead our analytics efforts
What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Analyst at The Collecting Group, you will be at the forefront of unlocking data-driven insights that shape product strategy, operational efficiency, and commercial performance. Sitting at the intersection of product, growth, and executive decision-making, you’ll combine rigorous analysis with strategic thinking to influence the future of our platform
- You will go beyond dashboards: building models, running experiments, and helping us scale insight-driven decision making across Collecting Cars, Watch Collecting, and eventually, Collecting.com
- You’ll also act as a translator between raw data and commercial impact, making complex findings digestible and actionable for business and leadership stakeholders
- Lead the data & analytics function, shaping priorities, managing workload, and coaching a team of analysts to ensure output is rigorous, timely, and impactful
- Build scalable analytical frameworks in SQL and Python to monitor marketplace dynamics, user behaviour, and product performance
- Develop advanced forecasting and modelling techniques to support pricing, auction velocity, and product development
- Act as a strategic thought partner to Product, Tech, Ops, and Marketing, driving clarity around what’s working, what’s not, and what to test next
- Translate raw data into board-level insights - clear, concise, commercially relevant, and rooted in rigorous analysis
- Leverage AI/ML tools (e.g. LLMs, RAG, clustering, regression) to build smarter internal tools and identify untapped growth levers
- Design, implement, and interpret A/B tests and experiments that directly inform roadmap prioritisation and go-to-market strategy
- Conduct trending and impact analyses across key business metrics to surface underlying drivers, detect inflection points early, and guide strategic prioritisation
- Identify and automate inefficient processes across the auction lifecycle, improving speed, scalability, and accuracy
- Represent the analytics function to the Executive Team, ensuring the “voice of the data” is embedded in strategic decision-making
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Sites like Autotrader and Motors.co.uk were quick to transpose the e-commerce model to used car sales. For the classic car sector, however, the process has changed little, still depending largely on in-person auctions. The Collecting Group is an online auction house group that’s taking advantage of this gap in the market, and it’s making big waves.
It’s a 24/7 global marketplace that connects global customers with sellers of classic, iconic, and collectible cars, and charges just a fraction of the fees levied by more traditional auction houses. The model took off fast: in 2020, just one year after launch, car sales on the platform topped £45M.
Following the success of the founding business, in 2021 the company expanded to offer a watch collecting platform too. Backed by the expertise of The Collecting Group, the watch collecting auction platform was able to surpass £10M sales in just 10 months.
