Finance Analyst

Are you the "Excel Legend" in your current office? Do you enjoy getting under the hood of a dataset to find out what's actually happening with the margins?

We are representing a well-established national group looking for a Pricing Manager to lead their day-to-day commercial data function. This is a hands-on role perfect for a technical specialist who loves building tools and ensuring pricing accuracy across a large business.

As the Pricing Manager, you will be the lead specialist for the group's pricing integrity. You'll be responsible for maintaining and updating the models that keep the business competitive. This isn't just about high-level theory; it's about the "nitty-gritty" of data-ensuring cost changes are reflected accurately and margins are protected.

We'll be honest: if you don't love spreadsheets, you won't love this role. We need a Super-User who can navigate complex workbooks with ease. You should be comfortable with:

• Model Maintenance: Taking existing pricing models and making them faster, better, and more accurate.

• Advanced Logic: High proficiency in SUMIFS, INDEX/MATCH, and data arrays.

• Data Cleaning: Using Power Query to pull together data from different parts of the business without breaking a sweat.

• Reporting: Creating clear, functional dashboards that the sales teams can actually use.

• Price Implementation: Managing the end-to-end process of price changes and updates across the system.

• Margin Support: Providing the commercial teams with the data they need to make informed decisions.

• Trend Analysis: Spotting patterns in product performance and flagging risks or opportunities to senior management.

• Process Improvement: Finding ways to automate the boring stuff so you can focus on the interesting data.

• Highly Analytical: You likely come from a Pricing, Commercial Analysis, or Finance background.

• The "Fixer": You enjoy troubleshooting data errors and building robust templates.

• Detail Oriented: You're the person who catches the decimal point error before it goes live.

• Communication: You can explain a data trend to a non-technical colleague without using too much jargon.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Analyst or an established Pricing Manager to own the pricing function for a respected group. It offers a stable environment, a supportive team, and the chance to be the definitive technical expert in your field.
