By joining them, you’ll have the opportunity to not just be recognised for your skills but encouraged to build upon them and empowered to do your absolute best. 

Step into a role where your insight truly shapes the future of our business. We’re excited to welcome a Commercial Analyst into our high‑impact Price Comparison Website (PCW) team, where you’ll play a key role in understanding performance, spotting opportunities, and influencing the decisions that drive growth.

In this role, you won’t just interpret data - you’ll help uncover the stories behind it. Your analysis will guide trading strategy, enhance customer outcomes, and support critical commercial choices that help us stay ahead in a fast‑moving market.

  • Drive delivery of initiatives using a test‑and‑learn approach to maximise benefits and generate insight.

  • Build an understanding of customer and commercial trade‑offs in a highly regulated industry.

  • Commercial acumen with proven experience in identifying opportunities and delivering business change.
