Job description

About us

We are champions of rail, inspired to build a greener, more sustainable future of travel. Trainline enables millions of travellers to find and book the best value tickets across carriers, fares, and journey options through our highly rated mobile app, website, and B2B partner channels.

Great journeys start with Trainline

Now Europe’s number 1 downloaded rail app, with over 125 million monthly visits and £5.9 billion in annual ticket sales, we collaborate with 270+ rail and coach companies in over 40 countries. We want to create a world where travel is as simple, seamless, eco-friendly and affordable as it should be.

Today, we\'re a FTSE 250 company driven by our incredible team of over 1,000 Trainliners from 50+ nationalities, based across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. With our focus on growth in the UK and Europe, now is the perfect time to join us on this high-speed journey.

Introducing Commercial Finance at Trainline...

The Commercial Finance team are central to supporting the business through this continued expansion. We are laser focused on embedding smarter, more sophisticated, data-driven decisions across Europe. Our comparative advantage is that we learn faster than the competition, and the Commercial Finance insights team is key to driving this discovery cycle. We dig deeper, we think insight not numbers, we articulate complexity clearly and with confidence.

As Senior Commercial Finance Analyst, you’ll provide high quality, actionable insight to support our International Consumer business. You’ll develop strong relationships with business stakeholders at all levels whilst deep diving into performance drawing on your network within other departments such as Commercial, Data Science and Supply. Our department is ever evolving, and so you will play an important role in enabling a culture of continuous improvement working closely with the Data team to devise innovative ways to access insight.

As a Senior Commercial Finance Analyst at Trainline, you will...

• Support the business with advice, insight and financial modelling including business plans, post initiative analysis and the generation of new ideas
• Weekly and monthly performance reporting, including communication and presentation of key findings, whilst spotting opportunities to improve, enrich and automate

• Drive the development of the Commercial finance function, taking into consideration new technologies, advising on new ways of working, and taking advantage of continuous improvements in data availability

• Investigate and assist in the development of new commercial opportunities to drive sales, new products, reduce cost, etc

• Gather external and internal market information to support across the breadth of the business

This is a truly career defining role for someone passionate about the commercial side of Finance looking for an opportunity to play a role in growing the international consumer business. In return for your hard work, we’ll provide you with lots of opportunity for progression and, should you choose, we will support you in studying for finance qualifications as you play your part in disrupting and defining a product that is changing the way we travel and inspiring millions people all over the world to make more environmentally sustainable travel choices every day.

Qualifications

We’re looking for creative big thinkers with small egos to achieve our ambitious plans. You’ll bring experience in a commercial, financial or analytical role, and demonstrate a proactive, can-do attitude. We’d prefer you to have worked within a digital, e-commerce, technology or retail environment but we can flex on this given your ability to work with pace and energy within a growth environment.

Working independently within tight deadlines, you’ll have the ability to think creatively to identify and enhance both commercial and customer-oriented opportunities. You should have experience of modelling and forecasting and an understanding of broader analytical techniques as well as writing queries in SQL.

A team player with a ‘roll your sleeves up’ attitude, you’ll be used to thinking laterally to solve problems and challenges, and will have a passion for making meaning out of data. Similarly, it’s vital that you bring an innate ability to distil and communicate results of complex analysis clearly and effectively to all levels of the business.
