You’ll develop strong relationships with business stakeholders at all levels whilst deep diving into performance drawing on your network within other departments such as Data Science, Marketing and Commercial. Our department is ever evolving, and so you will play an important role in enabling a culture of continuous improvement working closely with the Data team to devise innovative ways to access insight.

Key responsibilities include:

• Weekly and monthly performance reporting, telling the sales performance story, deep diving into areas of concern or opportunity, and spotting opportunities to improve, enrich and automate reporting
• Supporting the business with insight for building business plans, post initiative analysis and the generation of new ideas
• Working across the Commercial finance function, to make processes and analytical tasks more efficient and consistent
• Gathering external and internal market information to support across the breadth of the business – new product initiatives, performance marketing and customer
• Collaborating cross functionally on a wide range of projects

This is a truly career defining role for someone passionate about the commercial side of Finance and Analytics looking for an opportunity to play an important part in a growing, highly rated, team. In return for your hard work, we’ll provide you with lots of opportunity for progression and, should you choose, we will support you in studying for further qualifications as you play your part in disrupting and defining a product that is changing the way we travel and inspiring millions people all over the world to make more environmentally sustainable travel choices every day.

Qualifications

We’re looking for creative big thinkers with small egos to achieve our ambitious plans. You’ll bring a minimum of 2 years experience in an analytical role, and demonstrate a proactive, can-do attitude. We’d prefer you to have worked within a digital, e-commerce, technology or retail environment but we can flex on this given your ability to work with pace and energy within a growth environment.

A team player with a ‘roll your sleeves up’ attitude and willingness to learn, you’ll be able to thinking laterally to solve problems and challenges, and will have a passion for making meaning out of data.  Experience using Excel will be a must, any exposure to SQL or Tableau would be beneficual as well.

We pay special attention to learning and development and organise quarterly company learning days as well as offering a learning budget that can be put towards resources of your choice. We will cover the costs of your professional subscriptions and give you access to our very own learning platform. 

At Trainline, we care about the wellness of our employees. We host puppy therapy sessions, in-office yoga and run Mental Health First Aider training courses as well as having an Employee Assistance Program as one of our many company benefits.

Our flexi-first approach 
 
We believe in the importance of a healthy work-life balance and the value of a flexible workforce. Our flexi-first approach outlines our commitment to a hybrid way of working and our expectations of Trainliners. A key part of what makes Trainline special is our people and the value we get from the buzz and energy of our workplaces, and that’s why we’re proud to offer the best of both worlds. In practice this means in–office attendance at least 40% of the time over a 12-week period for all Trainliners. These in-office days are typically team led to help us connect, collaborate and create together.
