This is a highly analytical and commercially focused role, suited to someone who thrives on solving complex problems and shaping outcomes that have meaningful business impact.
You’ll bring a strong focus on outcomes and a genuine curiosity to challenge and improve existing approaches. You’ll take accountability for delivery, collaborate effectively across teams and apply structured, evidence-based thinking to solve complex problems and you’ll be equally comfortable shaping strategic direction and delivering detailed, hands-on analysis to turn ideas into measurable results.

* Strong experience developing, investigating and evaluating solutions to complex commercial opportunities with meticulous attention to detail

* Excellent stakeholder management skills, with confidence to challenge constructively, influence decisions and build alignment at senior levels
* A strong understanding of investment appraisal, financial controls and business case development within a complex organisation
