About the Role

• Identify trends, anomalies and opportunities within commercial data, helping to highlight risks and areas for performance improvement.
• Work across divisions to gather and interpret data, ensuring consistency of definitions and supporting the identification and sharing of best practice.
• Support the development of pricing insight and reporting, including analysis of pricing adherence, discount behaviour and commercial performance by customer or segment.
• Assist in the development of customer profitability and strategic account analysis as models and data capability mature.
• Support revenue assurance analysis, helping to identify areas of billing leakage, missed charges and opportunities to improve revenue capture.
• Prepare clear and concise analysis and reporting for use in commercial reviews, decision-making and stakeholder discussions.
• Work closely with commercial teams, Finance and data teams to ensure alignment of data, reporting and commercial priorities.

When considered necessary or appropriate by the company you may be required to carry out any duties considered within your skill and competence to assist the smooth running of the business.
