You will build and maintain the models, dashboards, and analytical infrastructure that underpin how we plan, track, and improve commercial performance. Your analysis and recommendations will directly inform partner strategy, pricing decisions, and performance management across Commercial, Risk, Capital Markets, Operations, Partnerships, and Product. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build systems, not just run analyses, and who is excited by seeing their work directly shape commercial outcomes. **Annual Salary:** £42,000 - £54,000 OTE ## Responsibilities - Support the production and continuous improvement of commercial forecasts, including inputs, outputs, scenarios, tracking, and variance analysis. - Build and maintain dashboards, self-serve data infrastructure, and tools (e.g., in Metabase) used across Commercial, Risk, Ops, and Capital Markets. Produce driver breakdowns and structured performance summaries (leads, conversion, funded amount, mix). - Run monthly recalibration and variance decomposition to explain under and overperformance. - Identify weaknesses in forecasting and implement improvements to modeling, input structures, and processes. - Analyze partner performance and pricing dynamics to identify growth opportunities. - Size the impact of pricing to optimize for commercial changes. - Support the development of structured commercial proposals and pricing recommendations. - Track commercial levers (expected vs. actual impact) and run retrospectives on implemented changes. - Monitor partner performance post-change and flag opportunities or issues. - Improve data structures to reduce manual work, duplication, and ad-hoc requests. - Make recommendations that guide partner strategy and commercial decisions across teams. ## Qualifications and Attributes - Interest in fintech, lending, and commercial strategy. - 1–3 years of experience in an analytical, data, or commercially oriented role, or a strong graduate with relevant quantitative experience (e.g., coding in Python, R, Stata, or SQL). - Strong SQL capability (required) and modeling skills in Excel; Python is preferred, though experience with other analytical languages is valued. - Ability to build from scratch: models, dashboards, and analyses—not just work with existing outputs. - Clear, structured written communication: able to translate analysis into insight and recommendations. - High ownership mindset: follow through and take responsibility for your outputs. - Comfortable working with ambiguity and bringing structure where processes are not yet fully defined. - Proactive: look for improvements, not just follow instructions. - Curious about commercial outcomes, not just the numbers behind them. - A team-first mindset: collaborative and willing to work across teams to get things right. ## Applying to this role This Strategy Analyst role at YouLend runs through the firm's own careers portal and expects a CV and cover letter written specifically for the posting, not a portable submission carried across firms. Jorb AI's application agent tailors a CV and cover letter from your background to this posting and tracks the role alongside the rest of your applications.
