Business Development & Growth Analyst

Cooper Machinery Services Brand • St. Rose, LA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Since 1833, Cooper Machinery Services has been the OEM behind legendary product lines — Cooper-Bessemer™, Ajax™, Superior™, Gemini, and more — serving more than 22,000 units in our global installed base. Growing that legacy takes more than instinct; it takes sharp analysis, market insight, and the ability to turn data into a plan the whole business can act on. As our Business Development & Growth Analyst, you'll be the person connecting the dots — studying market trends, sizing up the competitive landscape, and partnering with Sales, Operations, and Marketing to find our next opportunity for growth. This is a great fit for someone who's as comfortable building a MEKKO chart as they are presenting it to a room full of stakeholders — someone who wants their analysis to directly shape strategy, not just sit in a report.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field
• 2–5 years of experience in business development, strategy, or a similar analytical role
• Proficient with MEKKO charts and other analytical tools
• Strong analytical, interpersonal, and presentation skills
• A track record of building business relationships and collaborating across teams
• A strategic thinker who can translate market insight into a clear, actionable plan
• A confident communicator who can present findings clearly to stakeholders at every level
• Organized and adaptable, able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment

• Experience in upstream Oil & Gas or a related industrial sector
• Proficiency with CRM Dynamics 365, SAP, and the MS Office suite

Responsibilities

• Partner with internal stakeholders and the regional team to sharpen and enrich market analysis
• Act as a strategic partner to the sales team, sharing market insights that sharpen targeting and approach
• Use our CRM to run monthly performance reviews of account managers against their KPIs, helping the Sales Manager close gaps

• Inform forecast development through in-depth data analysis, supporting proactive planning for future growth
• Design and deliver presentations for prospective and existing clients
• Build and nurture client relationships that drive acquisition, retention, and sales growth
