Fixed‑term (early June 2026 – 25th September 2026)
UniHomes is looking for a Junior Commercial Analyst to join the Commercial & Data team on a temporary basis. You will progress a backlog of analytical projects that sharpen how we price, benchmark against competitors and report internal performance. This hands‑on, commercially‑flavoured role gives real visibility and lets you work on self‑contained projects with ready datasets and senior validation of every output before it is used.
Reporting into the Head of Commercial Strategy & Performance and working day‑to‑day with senior finance and data teams, you will be supported through weekly check‑ins, structured briefs and clear documentation expectations.
Key responsibilities:
* Lead delivery of a defined set of commercial analytical projects, including competitor pricing tracking, regional/property‑specific pricing analysis, internal KPI discovery and reporting prototypes.
* Build and run a twice‑weekly competitor price check across bedrooms, regions and packages, and present findings in a usable format.
* Support scenario analysis comparing current, regional and more granular pricing approaches.
* Identify and propose cross‑department performance KPIs, and prototype reporting in Tableau and/or Salesforce.
* Carry out structured market research from public sources and present findings clearly.
* Document methodology, assumptions, exclusions and limitations for every piece of analysis.
* Label outputs clearly as exploratory, validated, recommendation or operational, and route them to the named senior reviewer before use.
* Attend weekly check‑ins to share progress, raise data issues and surface early findings.
* Save working files and methodology notes so analysis can be picked up later by the permanent team.
Skills and experience:
* Recent graduate or penultimate/final‑year undergraduate in a quantitative discipline — Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Data Analytics, Economics (quantitative pathway), Physics, Engineering, Energy Studies, Environmental Science, Computer Science (analytics focus), Actuarial Science or similar.
* Confident with Excel or Sheets; exposure to SQL or Python is desirable but not essential.
* Comfortable testing relationships in structured data and presenting findings clearly.
* Strong attention to detail and a habit of documenting what you've done and why.
* Curious, organised and willing to ask questions when something doesn't look right.
* Interest in utilities, property, energy data or the student housing sector is desirable but not essential.
Benefits:
* Great Place to Work® certified.
* Living Wage employer – all employees earn a fair living wage above the government minimum wage.
* Complimentary breakfast, hot & cold drinks, snacks, pool table.
* Holidays, length of service days, voluntary day.
* Enhanced pension scheme, pension salary sacrifice scheme.
* Healthcare scheme, Employee Assistant Programme.
* Sick pay, enhanced maternity & paternity pay.
* Career progression, commitment to personal and professional development.
* Employee awards, refer a friend scheme, staff discounts.
* Mental health and financial support, company social events.
