As the Senior Commercial Analyst, you will assist in the production of commercial, financial, and economic analysis to support the business in making sound investment decisions. This is a critical role in ensuring that char.gy spends its capital in a way that maximises its potential for sustainable growth, and you will be involved in the key investment decision the company makes. 

This role will suit a motivated and detail-oriented individual who is seeking a challenge and is comfortable working in a fast-growing organisation. The role responsibilities will quickly grow with the business, representing an excellent development opportunity. You will work closely with various departments to assist in the development of business cases and bid submissions, providing guidance on the economic viability of various proposals. You will report to the Head of Commercial and entail the supporting of presenting insights to senior management – good communication skills are therefore essential.  

The role will support the business in the delivery of its growth agenda and thus will be heavily involved in assessing the potential viability of any project, ad-hoc analysis and valuation work. It is therefore important that you have a level of understanding of investment appraisal techniques and good financial modelling skills. 

Responsibilities:

• Conducting investment analysis to ensure that proposed initiatives meet return expectations and achieve business objectives. 

• The management and production of financial and commercial analysis for senior stakeholders, including the Executive Team and Shareholders. 

• Collaborating with other teams including Bidding, Sales, Field Services, and Legal in the production of business cases and submission of bids. 

• The ownership and development of financial tools and models to assist in financial analysis. 

• Supporting the production of any initiative involving cashflow forecasts. 

This role will suit you if you:

• have good financial modelling skills, ideally including the ability to build clear, well-structured, and self-auditing financial models from the ground up. 

• have strong written and spoken communication skills, including experience writing business cases or other documents that present a structured argument. 

• have experience or familiarity with bids or procurement exercises. In particular, the candidate is comfortable reading bidding documents and contracts, pulling out and understanding the relevant extracts that may affect the commercial performance of the project.  

• have a good understanding of financial and economic concepts with respect to valuations, returns, and investment appraisal. 

• have advanced Excel skills; ability to do pivot tables, v lookups, and data analysis. 

• enjoy producing innovative visualisations to help provide context to an argument. 

• are commercially articulate, able to understand business challenges and shape how analytical solutions could be created to answer these – consulting with the business. 

• have experience of and enjoy analysing data, report writing and translating data sets into a wide range of outputs the business can understand and use. 

• like to own and solve problems and are willing to work with others in order to continually improve the quality of our decision-making. 

• are proactive and able to work autonomously where needed. 

• have a creative mind and are happy to suggest new approaches to analysis. 

• are a self-starter with a “can-do” attitude, a friendly demeanour while still able to push hard to achieve targets and timelines.
