Senior Analyst, Global Strategy

As a Senior Analyst of Competitive Intelligence on the Global Strategy team, you will work with senior leaders and product experts across the organization to assess developments in their competitive environments, thereby helping to accelerate our overall growth agenda.  You will provide insight and expertise to help inform our strategic planning process – with emphasis on evaluating external market trends, macroeconomic factors, regulatory developments, and the competitive landscape.  Your ability to thoroughly analyse competitors’ financial and economic models over time – clearly linking this to their over-arching strategies and near-term tactical moves – is an essential complement to our businesses’ day-to-day understanding of their competitors’ market position.

• Collaborate closely with global and regional stakeholders across Experian – business, product, sales, technology, finance, etc. – to get work done.  Yet also produce high quality work independently.
• Publish weekly competitive and market event update newsletter (circulation c. 2,000 mid-level managers to senior executives) covering global markets for the Group.
