Job description

Business Development & Growth Analyst (Finance)

TURN INSIGHT INTO GROWTH. HELP WRITE OUR NEXT CHAPTER.

Since 1833, Cooper Machinery Services has been the OEM behind legendary product lines — Cooper-Bessemer™, Ajax™, Superior™, Gemini, and more — serving more than 22,000 units in our global installed base. Growing that legacy takes more than instinct; it takes sharp analysis, market insight, and the ability to turn data into a plan the whole business can act on. As our Business Development & Growth Analyst, you'll be the person connecting the dots — studying market trends, sizing up the competitive landscape, and partnering with Sales, Operations, and Marketing to find our next opportunity for growth.

This is a great fit for someone who's as comfortable building a MEKKO chart as they are presenting it to a room full of stakeholders — someone who wants their analysis to directly shape strategy, not just sit in a report.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Conduct data-driven market analysis — including MEKKO charts — to spot growth opportunities, gauge our competitive position, and anticipate challenges
• Partner with internal stakeholders and the regional team to sharpen and enrich market analysis
• Act as a strategic partner to the sales team, sharing market insights that sharpen targeting and approach
• Use our CRM to run monthly performance reviews of account managers against their KPIs, helping the Sales Manager close gaps
• Dive into sales and operational data — with a focus on the East region — and produce comprehensive month-end reports
• Inform forecast development through in-depth data analysis, supporting proactive planning for future growth
• Design and deliver presentations for prospective and existing clients
• Build and nurture client relationships that drive acquisition, retention, and sales growth
• Contribute to refining business processes and policies that improve sales and operational efficiency

WHO YOU ARE

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field
• 2–5 years of experience in business development, strategy, or a similar analytical role
• Proficient with MEKKO charts and other analytical tools
• Strong analytical, interpersonal, and presentation skills
• A track record of building business relationships and collaborating across teams
• A strategic thinker who can translate market insight into a clear, actionable plan
• A confident communicator who can present findings clearly to stakeholders at every level
• Organized and adaptable, able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• MBA
• Experience in upstream Oil & Gas or a related industrial sector
• Proficiency with CRM Dynamics 365, SAP, and the MS Office suite

WHY JOIN US

• Most benefits are effective your first day — no waiting period
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life, AD&D, short-term, and long-term disability coverage (6-month short-term disability waiting period)
• Voluntary life, AD&D, and long-term disability buy-up plans
• Voluntary accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance plans
• 401(k) with up to 5% company match — you're 100% vested on Day 1
• Maternity and parental leave, Arc Fertility Benefits, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health support
