We have an exciting opportunity here at Phoenic Group for a Commercial Analyst to join our Commercial Team.

Who are we?

We want to be the best place that any of our 6,600 colleagues have ever worked.

We’re Phoenix Group, we’re a long-term savings and retirement business. We offer a range of products across our market-leading brands, Standard Life, SunLife, Phoenix Life and ReAssure. Around 1 in 5 people in the UK has a pension with us. We’re a FTSE 100 organisation that is tackling key issues such as transitioning our portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we’re not done yet.

The role

We’re currently recruiting for a Commercial Analyst to join our Commercial Team to undertake financial, operational and logistical processing and management including analysis on a range of data sources, produce options and recommended solutions to meet a well-defined set of requirements to support internal and/or external requirements.

The focus of this role will be pricing workplace pension schemes. This will require you to be comfortable analysing data and using models built in Excel. No experience in pricing is expected but we are looking for someone who is good with numbers, enjoys problem solving and has a curious mindset.

The work done by the Commercial Analysts is key to retaining schemes and winning new business; while ensuring we maintain key commercial metrics. This role requires more than financial modelling - you will be required to collaborate with key stakeholders around the business and reach commercial judgements.

This role will also lead to opportunities to get involved in shaping the future of the business. Commercial are seen as a key stakeholder in projects aimed at growing and optimising Pensions & Savings.

What are we looking for?

• You must have a strong numerical background
• Excellent excel skills
• Knowledge of workplace pension products and VBA skills would be a plus
• Experience in financial modelling would be ideal
• Experience in manipulating big data sets in Excel or other data science tools would be advantageous
