About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Analyze business performance and opportunities using a combination of financial data, operational metrics, market trends and dynamics, and qualitative inputs to understand trends, risks, and opportunities.
Synthesize large volumes of information quickly, forming hypotheses, pressure-testing them, and refining insights as new data emerges.
Partner closely with commercial and operational leaders to interpret business results and provide decision-oriented guidance, not just reporting.
Develop insights related to internal business performance, as well as broader industry and adjacent market dynamics.
Translate analysis into clear narratives and recommendations that resonate with non-financial stakeholders.
Ask thoughtful follow-up questions, challenge assumptions constructively, and help leaders think differently about the data in front of them.
Focus on insight generation and interpretation, rather than budgeting, forecasting cycles, or P&L ownership.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Approximately 8+ years of experience in strategy, business analysis, consulting, or analytically driven roles with strong business exposure.
A strong financial and analytical foundation, without being narrowly focused on accounting, budgeting, or traditional FP&A.
Experience taking a consulting-style approach: framing ambiguous problems, structuring analysis, and guiding stakeholders toward informed decisions.
Demonstrated ability to combine quantitative analysis with qualitative judgment to explain what the data means for the business.
Excellent people and communication skills—especially the ability to engage stakeholders, ask the right follow-up questions, and influence through insight.
Comfort working with ambiguity and learning a business quickly by absorbing context, connecting dots, and validating assumptions.
A track record of delivering actionable insights, not just analysis for analysis’ sake.
