To think really well our brains needs rest and focus. In balancing our time, energy and attention, we rejuvenate with power naps, mindfulness or even a quick planking challenge.
IN A NUTSHELL
Bellroy is a growing global company with 12+ years of success. We have expanded our reach to 172 countries, serving over 1,200 retail locations and releasing about 50 new products a year. Resilience is deeply ingrained in the fabric of our business, as we embrace the challenges of a dynamic global economy marked by constrained supply chains, rising costs, and fluctuating currencies. We are seeking a skilled business analyst, specialising in margin and pricing analysis, to dig into our data and refine and adapt our margin-management processes to drive sustainable growth.
You will play a vital role in transforming the source data into accessible, usable and actionable information that directly bolster the business's decision-making process. Collaborating cross-functionally throughout the organisation, you will enhance our understanding and optimisation of pricing and margins. By examining the drivers influencing our costs and establishing forecasts and performance metrics, you will facilitate the margin-monitoring function across all revenue channels. You will contribute to shaping our pricing strategy and oversee its implementation, ensuring suitable pricing for our extensive product range and global marketplaces in 18 currencies.
We’re really after someone who is fascinated by the applied side of business analysis. You’re someone who really wants data to be used to make a difference in the world, and you want to be at the heart of making that happen. If you bring your clear-thinking mind, and focus on practical applications of data to help us, our world-class team will give you the freedom, resources and support you need to make a difference.
YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU HAVE...
- 4-8 years of experience working with large sets of data, including sourcing data from different systems, pulling it together and drawing practical insights out of it.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with both technical and non-technical individuals.
- Advanced skills in spreadsheet modelling and data visualisation using BI tools.
- Proficiency in writing SQL queries and ability to think about data flows: given some messy source data, you can find a clean normalised form.
- An interest in the commercial aspects of a business like Bellroy (for example, understanding what drives gross profit).
- A knack for seeing which insights and pieces of information are the important ones for decision making, and an interest in designing reports that focus on the most important pieces while giving enough context to let people dive deeper if they want to.
- The desire to get your hands a bit dirty, you want to be involved in the implementation of the process you create so you can understand what is working and what you can do better next time.
- An interest in programming (you don’t have to be a data scientist, a programmer or a statistician, but you probably have dabbled a bit in this area).
