Commercial Business Intelligence Analyst
📍 Shoreham-by-Sea (Hybrid) 🚀 Private Equity Backed Growth
Transform data into decisions that drive commercial success.......
We're building something special at Focus Group. As a fast-growing PE-backed ICT services business, we're at an inflection point where data isn't just supporting our growth—it's powering it.
Our Data and Analytics team sits at the heart of everything we do, spanning all divisions, acquisitions, and products. Now we need a Commercial BI Analyst who's energised by the challenge of turning complex datasets into clear insights that shape business strategy.
What you'll be doing
This isn't a typical "create reports and wait for requests" role. You'll be partnering directly with Finance and Sales leadership to uncover trends, drive performance, and support transformation initiatives that matter.
Your work will directly inform decisions made by our Executive Leadership Team. You'll maintain critical analysis tools, deliver ad-hoc deep dives, and communicate data stories that change how we operate.
Day-to-day, you'll:
- Translate complex commercial data into actionable insights that drive sales and financial performance
- Build compelling dashboards and visualisations that tell the story behind the numbers
- Partner with Data Engineering on ingestion and modelling projects that enhance our capabilities
- Present business-critical analysis to the Board of Directors
- Design intuitive, user-facing reports that stakeholders actually want to use
- Spot trends before others do and surface opportunities for improvement
- Contribute to the evolution of our analytics function as we scale
What you'll bring:
You're someone who:
- Solves problems with a commercial lens—you understand that data exists to drive business value
- Can "translate" between technical complexity and business clarity
- Has hands-on experience with data visualisation tools (Power BI preferred)
- Feels comfortable wrangling large, messy datasets into meaningful insights
- Communicates findings in ways that inspire action, not just understanding
- Brings genuine curiosity and a "can do" mindset to ambiguous challenges
- Works collaboratively but can drive projects independently
Technical foundations:
- Strong proficiency in Microsoft Technology (particularly Excel and PowerBI)
- Experience using data analysis to inform decision-making
- Meticulous attention to detail
Bonus points for:
- Star schema and multi-dimensional data modelling experience
- SQL, Python, or other data analysis languages
- Exposure to predictive analytics or forecasting
- DBT and/or Snowflake experience
