Commercial Strategy and Analytics Lead

The Commercial Strategy and Analytics Lead shapes and governs the commercial intelligence that underpins AEA’s most important strategic and operational decisions. The role exists to define what “good” looks like economically, guide sustainable growth and capital allocation, and translate pricing, workforce, and investment decisions into clear commercial outcomes. It blends strategic problem-solving, financial modelling, and advanced analytics to cut through noise and establish a defensible, data-led view of performance across the network. Acting as the single source of commercial truth, this role owns enterprise commercial models, assumptions, and Business Intelligence strategy. It enables evidence-based decision-making by Executives and the Board and has the authority to challenge decisions not supported by data. While final decisions sit with leadership, this role is accountable for the quality, integrity, and coherence of the insights that inform them—allowing leaders to focus on deciding, not debating the data.
