• Build strong working relationships with stakeholders across the business, developing your ability to influence and communicate effectively in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.
• Help gather and organise customer insights and feedback so they can be embedded into strategy formulation, ensuring our offerings stay aligned with customer needs.
• Support work to evolve our commercial operating model (people, process, and technology), helping to document current processes and identify opportunities for improvement.

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years of experience in commercial strategy, business planning, go-to-market, or a related analytical role, or a consultancy/graduate scheme background; ideally with exposure to B2B or a similar strategic environment.
• Good commercial awareness with an ability to turn data and analysis into clear, structured insights.
• A highly analytical, structured thinker with strong problem-solving skills and a data-driven approach.
• Some experience working with stakeholders across different business functions, with a genuine interest in developing your influencing and relationship-building skills.
• Exposure to, or interest in, cross-functional projects involving people, process, or technology change.
• A proactive, self-starting approach with the ability to manage your own workload and contribute confidently to fast-moving pieces of work.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to engage colleagues from operational teams through to senior stakeholders.
• Familiarity with commercial governance frameworks, operating models, or performance dashboards is a plus.
• An interest in AI, automation, or digital tools for sales and marketing transformation is preferred.
