About The Position

The Marketing & Commercial Strategy (MACS) Team is the central commercial engine of MVF, bridging the gap between Sales, Marketing, and Technology teams to implement the overarching business strategy in real time. We take a data-led, collaborative, and solutions-focused approach to optimise portfolio performance, nurture customer acquisition, and maximize client satisfaction. Our shared goal is to identify high-impact opportunities for commercial growth, support new product delivery, and spotlight long-term strategies that scale MVF and clients up efficiently and profitably. As a Senior Analyst, you will act as a strategic business owner with genuine autonomy - setting ambitious commercial goals for your portfolio and delivering them independently, while directly managing performance, efficiency, and gross profit-and-loss outcomes. You will be a trusted voice for senior stakeholders, known for spotting opportunities before they're asked for, moving quickly from analysis to decision, and bringing big ideas to the table proactively. We are looking for experienced analytical thinkers who have proven they can own outcomes end-to-end, build influence across a broad stakeholder network, and raise the bar for the team around them.
