Our client, a well-established professional services and advisory firm, is scaling a specialist deal analytics capability and is looking for an experienced analyst to become the technical right hand to the practice lead. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of transaction advisory and data analytics, working on live M&A; engagements rather than internal reporting.

What you'll do
n
n
Work directly on buy-side and sell-side transaction engagements, taking large, messy, often invoice-level datasets and turning them into deal-relevant insight
n
Reconcile granular transactional data back to financial statements, clean and map inconsistent customer, product and vendor data, and build the analysis from the ground up
n
Calculate and interpret deal-critical metrics depending on sector, for example recurring revenue, churn, customer acquisition cost and lifetime value for technology targets, or price, volume and SKU-level breakdowns for retail and consumer targets
n
Independently work out which parts of a large, unfamiliar dataset actually matter to the deal question at hand, rather than waiting to be told
n
Build workflows in Alteryx and dashboards in Power BI that support both internal analysis and client-facing output
n
Review and mentor junior analysts' work, acting as a technical second-in-command as the team grows
n




Operate across multiple quick-moving engagements at once, typically two to four weeks per project

n
Why join
n

A genuine opportunity to help shape and grow a newly established analytics capability from an early stage, with a clear path toward a management remit
