VML Luxembourg
VML Luxembourg is one of the leading Amazon consulting agencies in Europe. Offering 360° services for Amazon, we have a diverse range of products and services in various sectors to ensure long-term sales growth, ranging from creating multilingual content and listings to all aspects of advertising, including sales promotion, PPC and programmatic campaigns. We are part of WPP, the world’s largest digital media agency, and manage WPP’s European Center of Excellence for Amazon (ACE) dedicated to maximising performance, driving sales and building brands on the Amazon platform.
The Opportunity
VML Luxembourg is seeking a Data Director to lead our growing Data practice and deliver high-impact analytics solutions for our global clients. This is a client-facing leadership role at the intersection of data, business, and marketing activation, designed for an experienced professional who can translate complex data into actionable insights that directly shape content, media, and commerce strategies.
The Data Director will oversee a team of data analysts and data scientists, managing the delivery of analytics derived from diverse data sources such as Amazon AMC, Walmart, and other major e-retail and media platforms. By harnessing these insights, the role ensures clients can create the most impactful product content, make informed advertising decisions, and optimize activation strategies across digital commerce channels.
This is a data operations and strategy role, not a pure technology development role. The successful candidate will work closely with business and creative teams, customize dashboards in tools such as Looker or Power BI, and collaborate with technology partners where deeper integrations are required.
