THE ROLE

GFG is seeking a Strategy Analyst on a 12-month contract to support the Investor Relations and Strategy functions through an AI transition. This role will be based in our London office. You’ll report directly to the Head of Strategy & Corporate Development and Head Investor Relations & Communications. You’ll also work closely with the Executive Team (CEO, CFO, etc.) and senior leadership across the global business. Alongside day-to-day support on the core functions, you’ll lead the design and build of automated workflows for the team’s most critical recurring processes, reducing manual effort, improving accuracy and freeing the team for higher-value work. In this role, you’ll gain a diverse and engaging experience in supporting the Company's strategic decision-making and investor relations activities. This is a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact on the day-to-day operations and strategic narrative of a publicly traded business with global reach. In this role, no day will be the same and you’ll be joining the business at a pivotal time that encourages a challenging and rewarding career experience.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Drive and support strategic initiatives across corporate and business development.
• Conduct research and analysis to identify market trends, assess competitor dynamics and inform strategic direction.
• Develop high-quality presentations, memos and analysis to communicate findings to key stakeholders across the business.
• Investor Relations: Assist with tracking sell-side analyst models, analysing competitors and providing financial support for external messaging. Support management of day-to-day investor relations activities including ensuring regulatory compliance for investor communications, fostering relationships with analysts and preparing external materials (e.g., earnings call presentations, press releases, Capital Markets Day, etc.).
• AI & Process Automation: Map and prioritise the team’s recurring, high-stakes processes and identify what can be automated or AI-assisted. Build and maintain automated, well-documented Excel and Google Suite workflows, using GenAI tools where they add value. Embed appropriate controls: version control, audit trails, review checkpoints and human sign-off, given the regulatory sensitivity of external communications.

• A self-starter with a 'can-do' attitude, comfortable in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities.
• Results oriented with a growth mindset and embraces continuous learning.
• Experience in retail/ecommerce is not essential, but a knowledge and appreciation of the industry is ideal.

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

• The unique opportunity to have a serious impact on a well-established player in the fashion ecommerce industry across Australia New Zealand, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
