Advertising Analyst

If you thrive on solving complex challenges with smart solutions and are curious about how the media and advertising industry works behind the scenes, this role might be your perfect match.

You will be joining our Ads team, a leading business line specialising in monitoring and analysing Radio, TV, and VOD content to detect and evaluate advertisements. Our work focuses on providing strategic data and advanced analysis of audience and advertising exposure for the media and advertising industry.

While at our core we are the Operating System for the Music Industry—a data-driven platform that ensures artists and rights holders get paid accurately and on time— it is important to note that this specific role and the Ads team do not focus directly on music-related projects.

By joining us, you’ll be part of a collaborative, cross-functional team. You will work in data operations and analysis, playing a crucial part in ensuring new advertising is correctly identified and coordinating tasks for the timely data delivery to our customers.

Who the FAQ are BMAT

BMAT started in 2005 when a group of engineers with a passion for music decided to spin-off from an audio research lab in Barcelona. We’re now over 240 people, spread across Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, Nairobi, Oslo, Tel-Aviv, Singapore, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok and Lagos.

We’re a team of pretty decent people who enjoy working with each other. We’re open-minded and well-traveled, coming from all parts of the world. We’ve got rappers, producers, cello players, DJs, and songwriters. The passion for music, the excitement for innovative technology and Barcelona as a backdrop has proven to make a good combination.

Join us from wherever you are on our mission to help make music live forever.

We say there’s a BMAT touch. We believe it has to do with being passionate, obsessive, nice, generous, honest, self-motivated, entrepreneurial, intrepid, crazy, extraordinary, creative, agile, human, friendly, smart, witty, talented, naive, optimistic, surprising, sensual, and nerdy, but not very hipster (unfortunately). Our way of being is always sprinkled with transparency, perseverance, flexibility, open-mindedness and trustworthiness .
