At Springer Nature, we recognise that great talent develops through many different paths. We encourage applications from individuals with strong transferable skills, provided they are supported by relevant experience that shows how those skills have been successfully applied in practice. Our hiring approach balances skills, experience, and potential to ensure each role is fulfilled with both short term effectiveness and long-term growth in mind.
About the Role
The Web Analytics Enablement team is responsible for helping teams across Springer Nature measure, understand, and improve digital experiences. We enable consistent, reliable analytics through standards, implementation support, governance, and actionable reporting so stakeholders can make confident, data-driven decisions.
As an Analytics Specialist, you will bring a strong foundation in digital measurement and understand how analytics choices align to broader organisational goals. You will work at scale across a complex, long-lived web ecosystem where data quality, privacy/consent, security, and maintainability are essential. The role combines continuous improvement of existing tracking with the rollout of new measurement capabilities supporting tracking design and implementation via tag management, and validating data end-to-end (from collection to reporting) to ensure GA4 and BigQuery outputs are accurate and usable.
You will partner with cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, Marketing, Editorial) to translate business questions into measurable requirements, influence tracking and reporting approaches, and maintain reliable dashboards and documentation. A key part of the role is enablement: providing guidance, training, and support materials so stakeholders can adopt consistent analytics practices and become increasingly self-sufficient.
The job is based in Pune, and you will work remotely at times with colleagues in other locations.
