This is such an exciting and unique role! It could also go temp to perm!

We're partnering with a hugely exciting, well-backed start-up operating at the intersection of AI, technology and content.

They're looking for a brilliant Business Analyst / Commercial Finance Analyst to become the central analytical capability within the business.

The role

You'll work across commercial, finance, technology and operations, using data to help leadership understand what's happening, why it's happening and what they should do next.

You'll:

• Analyse customer behaviour, commercial performance and operational trends.
• Interrogate data to identify patterns, anomalies, opportunities and risks.
• Build KPI reporting, dashboards and performance metrics.
• Build commercial models and business cases to support decisions.
• Support budgeting, forecasting and cost management.
• Turn complex analysis into clear recommendations for senior leadership.

About you

We're looking for someone with a genuinely analytical brain.

You don't need to know every answer. What's important is how you go about finding it.

When presented with a problem, you'll naturally break it down into logical steps. You'll think about the questions you need to answer, the data you need, how you'll interrogate it and the techniques you can use to get there.

You'll be able to give examples of how you've used data and different analytical techniques to solve problems, test assumptions and uncover insights.

You'll be advanced in Excel, with Power BI or similar beneficial.

Most importantly, you'll be naturally curious. You'll probably learn new tools, techniques and skills in your own time simply because you enjoy it.

This is a fast-growing team of around 20 people. You'll work directly with senior leadership, the Board and investors and have real influence over how decisions are made.

If you genuinely love data, analysis and figuring things out, we'd love to hear from you.
