The Company:

Our client has gone through phenomenal growth recently and is a global powerhouse in advertising implementation. Our client’s portfolio boasts instantly recognisable consumer brands, as well as some of the largest global blue-chip corporations.

The Role:

Whether it is developing pricing strategies for new business opportunities, or driving existing client profitability, the Commercial Team sits at the heart of everything our client does. Due to the rapid growth of the company, the team is looking for an enthusiastic, driven Senior Commercial Analyst to work on new and existing business.

• You will work closely with, and become a high-profile advisor to, client leads, department heads and senior management; confidence, articulate communication and relationship building are vitally important.

• In a complex business, with many different commercial models, the business will look to you for answers; you will need to educate others, as well as explain financial matters to your non-finance colleagues.

Our key requirements for this role are:

• At least 5 years’ experience of working in a commercial or financial role, in a competitive industry.
• Professional service or consulting industry background would be beneficial.
• Exhibits strong commercial awareness.
• Financial modelling and budget planning experience required; pricing experience preferred.
