Commercial Strategy Analyst

East Midlands Permanent On site 60,000 to 80,000 depending on experience, plus uncapped bonus

A successful and growing UK finance business is looking for a Commercial Strategy Analyst to turn data into commercial decisions and help shape the direction of the business. This is a high visibility role with a direct line to senior leadership and real influence over commercial strategy.

This is not a reporting role. It sits at the centre of commercial activity and acts as a strategic advisor to the business. You will get underneath the numbers, understand what is driving performance, and translate that into clear, practical recommendations that change what the business does. The value is not in producing data, it is in the insight, the ideas and the influence you bring.

What you will do

• Analyse commercial performance across sales, lending activity, customer acquisition, conversion, pricing and revenue.
• Build and design your own reports, dashboards and models, and work with large and imperfect datasets to get to the answer.
• Identify commercial opportunities, pinpoint where value is being lost, and recommend where the business should focus next.
• Present options and insight to senior stakeholders and the board, and make the case for a clear direction.
• Support forecasting, planning, commercial modelling, competitor research and market analysis.
• Challenge assumptions and bring new commercial ideas, not just numbers.

What you will bring

• Strong analytical ability, including hands on data manipulation and the technical skill to build reports and dashboards yourself, using tools such as advanced Excel and Power BI.
• The commercial sharpness to interpret data, turn it into decisions, and the confidence to influence senior people.
• Experience as a commercial analyst, business analyst, insight analyst or strategy analyst, or in a similar role.
• The rare blend of deep analytical skill and genuine commercial instinct.
• Experience in financial services, lending, banking or fintech is an advantage and helps you add value quickly.
• Excellent communication, with the ability to make complex information clear to technical and non technical audiences.

If you are an analyst who is genuinely commercial, and you want your work to shape decisions rather than sit in a report, apply now in confidence to find out more.
