Job description

On behalf of an international services business in Dublin, we are looking to hire a Commerical Analyst.

This is a pivotal, commercially focused role supporting competitive tenders, bids and client solutions. Working closely with Business Development, Bid Teams and Operations, you will sit at the heart of the pre-sales process, directly influencing how the business wins work. It's an excellent opportunity for a recently qualified accountant to build commercial and pricing skills in a high-visibility role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the development of cost models covering labour, materials, overheads and mobilisation costs, with full training and support provided
• Partner with sales and operations teams on costings for tenders, RFPs and retentions, often to tight deadlines
• Run sensitivity and scenario analysis on key assumptions such as labour productivity and inflation
• Work closely with operational stakeholders to validate cost assumptions and support business cases
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of pricing tools and templates

What We're Looking For:

• Recently qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA), ideally Big 4 or Top 10 trained
• Strong Excel skills and an interest in developing financial modelling capability. Prior modelling experience is a bonus, not a requirement
• Commercially curious, with a desire to move beyond audit into a hands-on, business-facing role
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication skills, comfortable presenting to varied stakeholders

This is an ideal first move from practice. The role offers rare visibility for someone at this stage of their career, working alongside senior leadership across the UK and Ireland and playing a direct part in the deals that drive the company's growth. You'll learn commercial and pricing skills that are hard to build in audit, with the support to develop them from day one.
