Are you an analytical, commercially minded individual looking to take the next step in your career?

We're looking for a curious and ambitious Strategy Analyst to join a growing team, offering the opportunity to gain exposure to business strategy, market research, competitor analysis and strategic projects.

This is a great opportunity for someone with 1-3 years' experience who wants to build on their existing skills, learn from experienced senior stakeholders and develop a career in business strategy.

No two days will be the same, with involvement in a variety of projects that help shape business decisions and identify opportunities for growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Research markets, competitors and industry trends to identify opportunities and potential risks.
• Analyse business information and data to support decision-making.
• Prepare reports, presentations and insights for senior stakeholders.
• Support strategic projects, business planning and improvement initiatives.
• Assist with evaluating new markets, commercial opportunities and potential acquisitions.
• Work collaboratively with different teams to support business performance and growth.

What We're Looking For

• A degree in Business, Economics, Finance or a related subject.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with good attention to detail.
• Confident communication skills and the ability to present information clearly.
• Good Excel and PowerPoint skills.
• A naturally curious mindset, with an interest in how businesses operate and grow.
• Someone proactive, eager to learn and keen to develop their career.

Experience with Power BI, market research or AI tools would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
