Working directly with the CEO, the Head of Analysis is a senior, highly autonomous role at the heart of Wine Lister's consulting operation. You will own the full lifecycle of analytical projects - from scoping and methodology through to delivery and client presentation - across a portfolio of concurrent client engagements. This is a role for a self-starter who is equally comfortable building a complex quantitative pricing model and presenting its findings to a château owner, and who thrives under the pressure of managing multiple deadlines independently.

Client communication & executive presence: serve as a confident, polished point of contact for senior client stakeholders (winery owners, CEOs etc.). This includes leading client presentations, interpreting and contextualising data-driven recommendations, and communicating complex analysis with clarity and authority
Data sourcing & management: manage current and future data streams (qualitative and quantitative), own relationships with data and technology partners, and carry out proprietary surveys across Wine Lister's extensive network
Business development: identify and develop opportunities with existing and prospective clients through networking, pitches, and proposals, including travel to wine regions and trade fairs. Continuously help grow and refine the scope of Wine Lister's consulting offering
Project management: lead projects end-to-end, ensuring best practices are implemented to specification and on time, across multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritising independently and meeting deadlines
Data & modelling: advanced Excel skills including complex formula construction, regression-based analysis, and large dataset management

Analytical spirit: an original thinker with a rigorous, methodical approach to data and a talent for surfacing meaningful insights
Executive presence: confident, professional, and persuasive in client-facing settings, with the credibility to advise senior stakeholders
Self-starter: highly motivated and proactive, with the initiative to drive projects forward independently in a lean, fast-paced environment
Attention to detail: precise and thorough across both quantitative work and written outputs
Academic excellence: top grades through to degree level
Fine wine knowledge: pre-existing knowledge of wine, particularly the fine wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne (also Italy, Spain, California, etc.). WSET Level 3 or higher will be an advantage
