• Financial Modelling: Utilise and maintain financial models to assess the commercial impact of pricing decisions and ensure margins are met.
• Governance and Approvals: Manage the day-to-day internal deal approval process, ensuring all requests are compliant, documented, and submitted correctly for sign-off.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Sales, Finance, Product, Legal, and Operations to ensure a smooth and efficient deal lifecycle.
• Tender & Bids Support: Provide accurate and timely pricing and commercial input for responses to formal tenders (RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs).
• Process Improvement: Help to identify and implement improvements to our pricing tools, systems, and deal-desk processes for greater efficiency.

What Experience You Need

• A strong academic background (2:1 or First Class degree) or equivalent professional experience.
• Current experience in a role such as Deal Desk Analyst, Pricing Analyst, Commercial Analyst, Sales Operations Analyst, or Financial Analyst.
• Exceptional analytical skills with a proven ability to interpret complex data and apply it to commercial scenarios.

• Experience working within a regulated environment (e.g., financial services).
• A natural collaborator who excels in supporting a fast-paced, cross-functional team.
• The ability to translate data into clear, actionable information for sales and leadership.
• A proactive, detail-oriented individual focused on delivering accurate results and solving commercial queries efficiently.
