Job Description:

The Role We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established business for a Commercial Analyst to join their sales team on a temporary basis. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with numbers, has a commercial head on their shoulders, and likes being the person other teams turn to for answers.
You'll sit close to the sales function, helping shape pricing decisions and making sure the wider business has the data and insight it needs to make good calls. It's a varied role, one day you might be deep in a margin analysis, the next you're fielding queries from field-based sales colleagues or pulling together a report for the management team.
What You'll Be Doing

• Partnering with the sales team on pricing and commercial decision-making
• Analysing margins and assessing the financial impact of pricing strategies
• Producing and interpreting sales data to guide business decisions
• Managing incoming queries via a shared inbox
• Liaising with field-based sales colleagues, offering pricing advice and insight
• Supporting the sales management team and wider business with reporting and analysis
• Helping identify and implement process improvements
• Gathering key business information and preparing reports
• Pitching in with general administrative tasks as needed

What We're Looking For

• Strong Excel skills — comfortable with VLOOKUPs, XLOOKUPs, and IF functions
• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to work closely with both office-based and field sales teams
• Commercial awareness, with a solid understanding of margins and how pricing decisions play out financially
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball

Sound Like You? If you've got a good head for data, enjoy working across teams, and want to get stuck into a role where your analysis genuinely influences decisions, we'd love to hear from you.
