Strategic Planning Analyst at Genus PLC

United Kingdom

$115k - $140k

Role Overview We’re looking for a Strategic Planning Analyst who thrives at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and business partnership. This is not a traditional finance or FP&A role. Instead, this position is designed for someone with a strong financial foundation who enjoys taking a consultative, hypothesis-driven approach to understanding the business and translating complex information into clear, actionable insights. In this role, you’ll analyze both quantitative and qualitative data, interpret what’s happening across the business, and help leaders make better decisions by grounding strategy in evidence, not just numbers. This is a remote-based role with broad exposure across commercial and operational areas of the business. The salary range for this position is $115,000 - $140,000 USD. The salary provided is a good faith estimate representative of all experience levels. Genus considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role, function and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, location, education/training, and key skills. You Will Analyze business performance and opportunities using a combination of financial data, operational metrics, market trends and dynamics, and qualitative inputs to understand trends, risks, and opportunities. Synthesize large volumes of information quickly, forming hypotheses, pressure-testing them, and refining insights as new data emerges. Partner closely with commercial and operational leaders to interpret business results and provide decision-oriented guidance, not just reporting. Develop insights related to internal business performance, as well as broader industry and adjacent market dynamics. Translate analysis into clear narratives and recommendations that resonate with non-financial stakeholders. Ask thoughtful follow-up questions, challenge assumptions constructively, and help leaders think differently about the data in front of them. Focus on insight generation and interpretation, rather than budgeting, forecasting cycles, or P&L ownership. Requirements Approximately 8+ years of experience in strategy, business analysis, consulting, or analytically driven roles with strong business exposure. A strong financial and analytical foundation, without being narrowly focused on accounting, budgeting, or traditional FP&A. Experience taking a consulting-style approach: framing ambiguous problems, structuring analysis, and guiding stakeholders toward informed decisions. Demonstrated ability to combine quantitative analysis with qualitative judgment to explain what the data means for the business. Excellent people and communication skills—especially the ability to engage stakeholders, ask the right follow-up questions, and influence through insight. Comfort working with ambiguity and learning a business quickly by absorbing context, connecting dots, and validating assumptions. A track record of delivering actionable insights, not just analysis for analysis’ sake. Nice to have Experience supporting commercial and operational teams rather than purely corporate finance. Exposure to industry analysis, market intelligence, or strategy development. Background in internal strategy, management consulting, or hybrid analytics roles.
