Our systems are used to provide our customers with insights into the online behaviour of opted-in market research participants.

The team lead will be responsible for managing the staff within the team workload management and planning. They will mentor staff and help them grow in their roles. The data capture systems are made up of a combination of open source and bespoke software running on the Linux platform.
