• Build and maintain financial and performance models to inform pricing, forecasting, and tracking
• Conduct research and analysis to support new market entries and go-to-market strategies
• Lead smaller projects or workstreams within broader commercial initiatives, ensuring milestones are met
• Present findings and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders and partner organisations
• Identify data gaps and process improvements to strengthen decision-making and reporting

What They’re Looking For

• If you are coming from a strategy/banking background - ideally you have had some exposure or experience in a tech startup.
• Ability to manage and work around ambiguous situations.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — highly proficient in Excel, with some experience or interest in SQL and data visualisation tools (e.g. Tableau, Metabase)
