Commercial Analyst

This post is full time (35 hours per week) and has funding for up to 2 years.

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 573 years, and today we are one of the world's top 100 universities. We are delighted to have been awarded Scottish University of the Year by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

This is a fantastic opportunity for two Commercial Analysts to join the University’s Finance Office.

The University of Glasgow is on an exciting change journey, with many strategic projects in-flight over the next few years. To strengthen our internal change and commercial capability, we have an opportunity for two Commercial Analysts to join us. This is initially for a 2-year fixed term, with the aspiration to make these roles permanent should the pilot be successful.

We are looking for two senior professionals who are strategic and highly analytical thinkers. Given the scale of change planned for the years ahead, the University requires an ongoing, internal and mature approach to business cases and options appraisals. The ideal candidates will work across the institution, supporting the Transformation and Information Services portfolios regularly, with work on ad-hoc projects also factored into their capacity. We’re looking for candidates who thrive on working with cross-functional teams to support data-driven decision-making.

These roles will be matrix-managed, reporting to our Deputy Director of Finance, in the Financial Planning & Analysis Directorate, but working closely with the Transformation Team in particular.
