Job description

Are you the person who looks at a set of numbers and immediately starts asking, “What is this telling us, and what should we do differently?”

We’re looking for a highly analytical, commercially curious Commercial & Financial Analyst who can turn complex data into meaningful business insight.

This is not a role for someone who simply produces reports. You’ll be at the heart of the commercial decision-making process, working across the business to uncover trends, challenge assumptions, understand customer behaviour and help shape smarter decisions around pricing, promotions, products, marketing initiatives and business growth.

The opportunity

You’ll become a key analytical partner to senior management and cross‑functional teams including Marketing, Operations, New Product Development and Procurement.

Using financial, operational and customer data, you’ll help answer the questions that really matter:

• What is driving sales performance?
• Which products and promotions are delivering?
• Where are margins being won or lost?
• How are customers behaving?
• What is the return on commercial initiatives?
• Where are the opportunities to improve performance?

You’ll take the data beyond the dashboard and turn it into actionable recommendations.
