Responsibilities
- 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
Skills

- A strong financial and analytical foundation, without being narrowly focused on accounting, budgeting, or traditional FP&A

- 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
- Experience supporting commercial and operational teams rather than purely corporate finance
- Exposure to industry analysis, market intelligence, or strategy development
- Background in internal strategy, management consulting, or hybrid analytics roles
