Business Intelligence jobs in United Kingdom

Ready to make your mark? Lanes Group, backed by Private Equity giant BlackRock, is looking for a Commercial Finance Business Partner who knows they're ready for more. You’re curious about the whole business, sharp with data, and excited to turn insight into impact. This is a role where your finance expertise becomes your edge, helping shape decisions, challenge assumptions, and drive outcomes that really matter.

You’ll join a finance team that’s proud of the culture it’s building. Supportive, ambitious, and focused on creating the strongest collective of talent in Yorkshire. With the team expanding to over 100 professionals across all finance disciplines, you’ll be part of a best‑in‑class community where people learn from each other and raise the bar together. You’ll develop advanced technical skills, stronger commercial instincts, and accelerate your career.

Now let’s talk about what you’ll do:

You’ll analyse revenue, costs, margins, and KPIs. Produce reports, dashboards, and commentary that make financial information clear and actionable.

You’ll spot trends, explain performance drivers, and improve reporting so we have the insight we need to make confident decisions.

You’ll support budgeting and forecasting cycles and build models that show different scenarios and outcomes.

Gathering information from across the business, you’ll help create reliable forecasts and highlight opportunities. Your work will directly influence business decisions and help shape the strategy.

You’ll work with data from multiple systems (ERP, CRM, operational tools) to build automated dashboards and data models using tools like Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or Qlik.

You’ll answer business questions, identify patterns, and help teams make informed decisions. Along the way, you’ll ensure data is consistent, reliable, and easy to use.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across finance, operations, sales, and leadership to provide insight and guidance. From business cases and project assessments to scenario analysis and financial reviews, you’ll help teams understand the commercial impact of their decisions. You’ll be a trusted partner, turning data into clarity and action.

You’ll look for ways to make reporting and workflows smarter and more efficient. You’ll automate repetitive tasks, implement best practices in analysis and visualisation, and encourage better use of data across teams. Your ideas and improvements will help the finance function work faster, smarter, and deliver real commercial impact.
