Commercial & Financial Analysis

• Analyse sales, revenue, cost and profitability trends.
• Support pricing decisions, margin analysis and cost drivers.
• Track KPIs and support forecasting and financial models.

Market & Competitor Intelligence

• Research market trends, competitors and customer behaviour.
• Identify risks, opportunities and commercial blind spots.
• Back strategy with data, not opinion.

Reporting & Insights

• Build dashboards and reports that decision‑makers actually use.
• Translate numbers into clear, actionable insights.
• Support management presentations and commercial reviews.

Strategy & Business Support

• Assist with budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis.
• Support business cases, growth initiatives and commercial projects.
• Analyse promotions, pricing and sales performance with sales and finance.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work cross‑functionally to support growth initiatives.
• Provide analytical input into contracts, suppliers and investments.
• Be the go‑to data support for commercial decision‑making.
