Business & Strategy Analyst

Job Purpose

As a Business & Strategy Analyst, you will play a key role in driving strategic insights and initiatives that support our company’s growth agenda. We are particularly looking for candidates with a background in consulting, combined with strong analytical capabilities, data fluency, and a solid understanding of business and industry dynamics. You will work at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and business execution — helping drive growth, competitiveness, and smarter decisions across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Market Intelligence: Monitor and analyze market dynamics, customer behaviors, and industry trends to identify growth opportunities, shifts in demand, and emerging strategic risks. Translate insights into clear implications for business strategy, portfolio development, and commercial planning.
• Competitive & Sector Analysis: Deliver high-impact competitive intelligence by benchmarking key players, evaluating strategic positioning, and assessing market entry, pricing, and innovation trends. Inform go-to-market strategies and support strategic differentiation efforts across business units.
• Strategy Support for Key Initiatives: Provide structured and ad hoc strategic analyses to support corporate initiatives, strategic reviews, and C-level decisions. Synthesize internal and external data into executive-ready insights and scenarios to guide investment priorities and strategic choices.
• Insights on Group Strategy & Reporting: Enhance strategic reporting and planning through robust insight generation that supports recurring Group-level communications, strategic planning cycles, and strategic thought leadership publications (e.g., whitepapers, strategic reviews).
• Insight Enablement & Collaboration: Act as a strategic sparring partner across business units, collaborating with analytics, commercial, and innovation teams to frame business problems, design research plans, and guide data-informed decisions aligned with strategic priorities.
• Strategic Use of Analytical Tools (as Enabler): Leverage dashboards and analytical tools (developed with analytics/tech teams) to enable scenario planning, customer segmentation, and opportunity sizing — ensuring tools serve strategic, not purely operational, purposes.
• Data Integrity & Insight Credibility: Advocate for high-quality data and insight governance standards, ensuring all outputs used for strategic decision-making are robust, trusted, and aligned with privacy and compliance requirements. Drive adoption of the insight by upskilling key stakeholders.
• Insight Communication & Visualization: Translate complex insights into compelling presentations, clear messaging, and impactful storytelling. Leverage strong visualization techniques to ensure strategic narratives resonate with senior stakeholders and drive informed decision-making across the organization.
• Ways of Working & Collaboration: Foster a collaborative, engaging environment through a flexible, agile team setup that supports cross-functional problem-solving and adapts to evolving strategic priorities.
