The Role

The Commercial Analyst (Modelling) role is responsible for building long-term contract cashflow models and managing financial and commercial analysis for projects, supporting business growth by modelling and appraising risk and return from our solutions and projects. This role supports senior commercial roles in both servicing the business development teams with key commercial outputs for projects but also ensuring that rigour is applied to proposals and investment papers.
