We're looking for a Strategy Analyst to join our team at Lightspeed. This role will support enterprise and business strategy efforts by conducting analysis, developing insights, and helping teams make data-driven decisions. As Lightspeed enters its next phase of growth and a multi-year transformation, this role will help shape and support key strategic priorities across the business. The ideal candidate brings strong strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.

What you'll be doing:

• Support enterprise and business strategy efforts through research, analysis, and insight development, including contributing to annual strategic planning and ongoing strategic review cadences

• Break down complex business problems and conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis

• Build models, synthesize data, and develop materials to support executive-level decision-making

• Contribute to the development of business cases, plans, and recommendations

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather inputs and support the execution of key initiatives

• Help track progress and performance of initiatives against key milestones and targets

What you need to bring:

• Ability to structure problems and work through ambiguity in a fast-paced environment

• Comfort working with data and translating findings into clear insights

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to collaborate effectively across teams and functions

• Proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and take ownership

• As a global company with employees and clients outside of Quebec, fluency in English as a working language is required for this position.

Even better if you have, but not necessary:

• 1-3 years of experience in consulting, strategy, finance, or a related field

• Experience working on structured problem-solving engagements (e.g., strategy, operations, or transformation projects)

• Internship or early-career experience involving data analysis and business problem solving

• Experience in SaaS, fintech, or other technology-driven environments

You'll enjoy:

• A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work

• A culture that celebrates performance

• The chance to make an impact in a team that's big enough for career growth, but lean enough to make your voice heard

• Career-defining opportunities

Plus benefits designed to keep you happy, healthy and fulfilled.
