• Commercial Support – Support pricing strategy, competitor benchmarking, and product mix decisions using financial and market data.
• Planning & Forecasting – Contribute to budgeting and forecasting cycles, providing analytical support to commercial functions.
• Data Tools – Leverage Power BI and Excel to enhance reporting and automate insight delivery.

Candidate Requirements:

• Part-Qualified Accountant (CIMA preferred) – You’ll ideally be well underway with your exams.
