[Hiring] Business Analytics Manager @Forbes Advisor

Role Description

We're looking for a Business Analytics Manager who can turn complex business performance data into clear insights, recommendations and better commercial decisions. You'll lead a small team of Analysts working directly with our business verticals, acting as a trusted analytics partner to General Managers and their commercial teams. Your focus will be on helping the business understand its performance, identify opportunities for growth and make better decisions through accurate, actionable data.

This is a hands-on leadership role that combines commercial understanding, analytical expertise and stakeholder management. You'll help your team move beyond reporting what happened to explaining why it happened, what it means for the business and what we should do next.

What You'll Do

• Commercial Performance & Business Partnership: Act as a trusted analytics partner to General Managers and senior commercial stakeholders, helping them understand the drivers of revenue, profitability and business performance.
• Financial Accuracy & Data Confidence: Help establish confidence in the commercial data used to manage the business, working closely with Finance, Revenue Operations and Data Engineering.
• Business Insight & Storytelling: Guide your team in translating complex datasets into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Analytics Products & Business Requirements: Translate commercial questions into clear analytical requirements, working with Analytics, BI, Engineering and Data Science teams.
• Team Leadership & Prioritisation: Lead and develop a small team of vertical-aligned Analysts, supporting their technical development, commercial understanding and stakeholder relationships.

Qualifications

• Experience in business analytics, commercial analytics or performance analytics, including experience managing or mentoring Analysts.
• Strong commercial understanding, with experience analysing revenue, profitability, customer acquisition, sales performance or other key business drivers.
• Experience working directly with senior business stakeholders, translating complex questions into analytical requirements and actionable recommendations.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain complex findings clearly and influence commercial decisions.
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with large, complex datasets.
• Experience with BI and visualisation platforms such as Tableau, Power BI or Looker.
• A strong understanding of data quality, reporting accuracy and the importance of reconciling commercial information with financial outcomes.
• Experience prioritising analytical work across multiple stakeholders, balancing commercial urgency with analytical quality.
• Experience coaching and developing Analysts, helping them build both technical capability and commercial confidence.
• A proactive, curious approach to problem solving, with the ability to identify opportunities rather than simply respond to requests.

Nice to Have

• Experience in performance marketing, affiliate marketing, lead generation or digital publishing.
• Familiarity with marketing and acquisition data from platforms such as GA4, Google Ads, Meta or other advertising platforms.
• Experience working with Finance, Revenue Operations or commercial reporting teams.
• Experience analysing sales performance, partner economics, conversion funnels or customer profitability.
• Python experience for statistical analysis, forecasting or more advanced analytical work.
• Experience collaborating with Data Scientists on predictive modelling, experimentation or customer analytics.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform, particularly BigQuery.
• Experience developing reusable analytical products or self-service reporting capabilities.
• Experience working with distributed teams and agile delivery processes.
