Data Technician Apprentice

The Role:

We are looking for Data & Media Technology Apprentices to join us here at What’s Possible Group: the only harmonious marketing group for dynamic growth brands. 

The next generation of advertising and media professionals is incredibly important to our growth, not just as a business, but for our entire industry. That’s why we’re looking to take on a group of apprentices that are passionate about starting their career in the world of advertising and media. 

You will get the opportunity to work with data analytics professionals and help them support media specialists from a range of our teams, from TV advertising, print advertising, online/digital advertising and wider media planning and strategy disciplines. 

About the Group

The world is obsessed by small start-ups or the largest corporates. Most UK media agencies are built to serve the top 100 spending clients, and there are a multitude of boutique agencies to serve those starting out in business. The Specialist Works is different. We are built exclusively for marketers at entrepreneurial brands. Businesses that are past the messy start-up stage but are worlds away from the slow-paced nature of large corporates.   

Our clients span large privately owned businesses (often PE backed, founder-led or both) and small to mid-cap public enterprises. They are fighting larger, more established competitors and know they need to think and behave differently to win. They don’t conform to category norms. Since they can’t out-spend their competition, disruption is the safest move they can make.   

The marketers leading these brands are innovative, resourceful, moving at pace and in all-out growth mode. They’re powerful; redefining categories, overtaking and acquiring traditional businesses and changing consumer behaviour along with it.   

 Our clients share three common yet exciting challenges which define everything we do as an agency:   

• Consumer – customer acquisition is key to their success   
• Company – they are highly ambitious and built lean   
• Category – they are often outspent by their competitors, need to outmanoeuvre the competition and are passionate about disrupting an established category   

Requirements

What you’ll be doing:

• Work with multiple departments (Client Team, AV, Online, Print) to understand how we create impactful campaigns, eventually taking ownership of key data processes.

• Use tools like SQL, Python, and cloud platforms to collect, manage, and structure large datasets, uncovering media, market, and audience insights that shape client strategies.
• Become an expert user of our in-house reporting technologies, supporting teams across the business to maximise their adoption and impact.
• Learn the full campaign lifecycle—from initial briefing to optimisation and post-campaign analysis—supporting data-driven decision-making at every stage.
• Work with the team to maintain high data integrity, establish consistency models, document governance processes, and ensure accurate data input.
• Act as a key contact for advertising schedule adjustments and data optimisations to drive continuous performance improvements.
• Support analysis and process improvements, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across platforms.
• Develop expertise in reporting tools across TV, online media, print, and digital channels.
• Gain hands-on experience with platforms and tools such as SQL, Python, Azure, Google Analytics, and Adverity.

Who you will be:

• Eager and passionate about starting your career within the technology landscape of advertising & media. It’s an awesome industry, lots of fun can be had but it does require hard work.
• You’ll be a people-person, great at building relationships, eager to learn, and able to explain subjects to those with little knowledge. When you learn something, you share it!
• You’ll ideally have achieved level 9-5 (A*-C) in Maths & English GCSE. Further education (A-Levels) is beneficial, especially if you have a preference for STEM subjects—Computer Science is a plus but not essential.
• You will have a keen eye for detail. We need to get things right for our clients, and there’s very little scope for error.

The role is mainly based in London, but there will be an element of remote working involved. In addition, there will be travel to the apprenticeship training provider based in Chesham. Training is delivered as block release at regular intervals rather than weekly day release.

Benefits

We provide an exciting, fast paced, people first environment that allows everyone to grow, learn and thrive.

We work a 9-day fortnight, meaning staff have every other Friday off!

We’ve built a benefits package that invests in our employees’ long-term personal and professional growth and wellbeing.

Our Values

o   Passion: You share your excitement about what drives you

o   Inquisitiveness: Ask “what’s possible?”.  Ask “why not?”

o   Caring: Be a good professional, a good colleague and a good human

o   Knowledge: Know plenty. Share it. Learn more.

And we live them every day #IamPICK
