1. Data Integration & Analysis

• Work with structured and unstructured data from disparate systems, including legacy ERPs and finance platforms.
• Consolidate and reconcile data across departments to provide a reliable foundation for analysis.
• Develop consistent models and queries to support revenue tracking, pipeline health, commercial forecasts, and performance dashboards.

2. Insight Generation

• Translate complex datasets into simplified, meaningful insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Identify data-driven patterns, commercial levers, and performance gaps across business units.
• Support recommendations with credible evidence—recognising that not all insights lead to action but all must inform understanding.
• Build and maintain automated dashboards and reports in Power BI and/or Excel to monitor KPIs across Sales, Commercial, and Rev Ops.
• Present insights in clear, visually engaging formats tailored to the target audience—from local operational reviews to senior management briefings.
• Monitor data quality and make proactive suggestions to improve integrity, structure, and usability.

4. Collaboration & Business Partnering

• Liaise with regional teams, shared service functions, and data stakeholders to understand reporting requirements and pain points.
• Partner with CRM, BI, and systems teams to enhance data visibility and alignment.
• Support cross-functional initiatives by supplying insight that connects commercial performance with business decisions.

An ideal candidate would likely have the following experience:

• Previous experience in a data analysis, commercial analytics, or business intelligence role.
• Strong proficiency in data visualisation (Power BI, Excel, or similar).
• Able to interpret multi-source data and present concise summaries to a mixed technical/non-technical audience.
• Understanding of data flows, system integration, and reporting in environments with fragmented architecture or legacy platforms.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with a high attention to detail.

The outlined responsibilities and skills required do not necessitate years of experience. Provided you have knowledge and demonstrable experience of working with data and visualisation tools, have provided insight and analysis in some capacity, and you’re eager to learn and develop, then this position would suit you.

Experience working across global teams would be advantageous; we’re a global company built through acquisition, with many legacy ERP and CRM systems that will require a nuanced understanding in the long term. If you have additional European language skills, that would be a plus, but in no way is that…
