Commercial Analytics Manager
Commercial Analytics Manager
Sheffield | Hybrid Working
£80,000 + Excellent Benefits
Are you someone who sees beyond the numbers?
Most analytics jobs focus on reporting...
This one is much more about influencing decisions.
We're working with a high-growth technology business that has invested heavily in its data function and is now looking for a Commercial Analytics Manager to help turn insight into action.
This is a highly visible role sitting at the intersection of Data, Finance and Operations, partnering with senior stakeholders to drive smarter decision-making across the business. You'll act as a trusted advisor, helping leaders understand what's happening in the business, why it's happening, and most importantly, what they should do next.
If you're currently producing great analysis and are commercially minded and have created influence over strategic decisions, I'd love to hear from you...
The Opportunity
Over the last few years, the business has transformed its data function, built a modern data platform and significantly expanded its analytics capability.
The next stage of that journey is ensuring data is embedded into decision making across the business.
As Commercial Analytics Manager, you'll work closely with Finance, Operations and Transformation teams, helping key stakeholders unlock value from data, identify opportunities for improvement and influence business performance.
This is far more than a reporting role. We're looking for someone who can challenge thinking, provide recommendations and shape outcomes.
What You'll Be Doing
- Partner with senior stakeholders across Finance, Operations and Commercial teams
- Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations
- Support strategic business initiatives with insight and analysis
- Identify opportunities to improve performance, efficiency and profitability
- Influence decision making through storytelling and stakeholder engagement
- Drive greater data literacy across the organisation
- Prioritise analytics initiatives based on commercial impact
- Act as a key link between business functions and the wider data team
What We're Looking For
We're open to a range of backgrounds, but you'll likely have experience in Analytics, Insights, Business Intelligence, Commercial Analysis or Data Business Partnering.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Excellent stakeholder management experience
- The ability to influence and challenge senior decision makers
- A commercial mindset and genuine curiosity about business performance
- Experience turning data into meaningful business actions
- Confidence working with Finance and operational stakeholders
- Strong communication and presentation skills
- Experience within SaaS, subscription, contact centre, customer, operational or commercially driven environments would be particularly beneficial.
Technical experience with SQL, Power BI, Looker or similar tools is nice to have, but your ability to create business value through insight is what's most important.
What's In It For You?
- Salary up to £80K – flex on this for the right candidate
- Hybrid working (3 days in Sheffield office)
- Generous holiday allowance, increasing with service
- Enhanced pension
- Healthcare plan
- Discounted parking
- Life assurance
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Investment in your L&D
