Strategy Analyst Group - Strategy & Transformation

Do you enjoy turning complex business questions into clear insights and practical recommendations? 

Scan Global Logistics is looking for a Strategy Analyst to join our Group Transformation team. 

This is an opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to work close to senior management and gain exposure to strategic priorities, business performance and transformation initiatives across a global organisation. 

You do not need to have all the answers from day one. What matters is that you are analytical, curious, commercially minded and comfortable getting into the detail. 

What you can expect 

• You will join a global business with significant ambitions and an active transformation agenda. 
• Broad exposure across the organisation and the opportunity to work closely with experienced leaders on real business challenges. 
• For the right person, we expect the scope and responsibility to grow quickly. This is a strong opportunity to build a career within strategy, transformation or general business leadership. 
• A straightforward, collaborative environment where you can challenge the status quo while staying focused on getting things done. 

The role 

As Strategy Analyst, you will support strategic and transformation initiatives across Scan Global Logistics. 

You will work with data, business cases and management information, but the role is broader than pure financial analysis. You will help us understand business problems, identify opportunities, structure decisions and follow initiatives from idea through implementation. 

Your work could range from analysing the performance of a business area or testing the assumptions behind an investment case to supporting a major transformation programme or preparing material for senior management. 

In short, you will help turn data and complexity into decisions and action. 

Your key responsibilities 

• Analyse business performance, operational data and strategic opportunities 
• Build financial models, business cases and scenario analyses 
• Support strategic and transformation projects across functions and geographies 
• Help structure complex or ambiguous business questions 
• Track progress, value creation and key performance indicators 
• Prepare clear decision material and presentations for senior management 
• Work with colleagues across Finance, Operations, Commercial, our Regions and other functions 
• Challenge assumptions and help ensure decisions are based on facts 
• Support implementation and follow-up when initiatives move from analysis into execution 
• Contribute to ad hoc strategic analyses and projects for senior management 

Who are we looking for? 

You probably have 1–4 years of relevant experience, although we are more interested in your capabilities and potential than the exact number of years. Your background could be from: 

• Management consulting 
• Corporate strategy or business development 
• FP&A or commercial finance 
• Business intelligence or analytics 
• Transaction services 
• A graduate programme or similar analytical role 

You may also be a strong recent graduate with relevant internships and an excellent analytical foundation. 

We imagine you have a degree within business, economics, finance, engineering or another analytical discipline. 

What matters most 

We are looking for someone who: 

• Is genuinely strong with numbers and analytical problem-solving 
• Can structure a problem before jumping to the answer 
• Is comfortable working in Excel and PowerPoint 
• Is curious about how a business actually works 
• Can translate analysis into a clear recommendation 
• Is pragmatic and willing to get into the detail 
• Communicates clearly and simply 
• Takes ownership and follows things through 
• Is comfortable working with different stakeholders and cultures 
• Wants to learn quickly and take on increasing responsibility 

Experience from the logistics industry is not required but would be a plus. We focus on finding someone with the right analytical ability, curiosity and drive. 

Why join Scan Global Logistics? 

At SGL, you will join an international logistics company with an entrepreneurial culture, high ambitions and a strong belief that results are created by people who take responsibility. Our DNA is built on Respect, Integrity, Entrepreneurship & Fun. 

At Scan Global Logistics, we value people who are straightforward, collaborative and willing to challenge the status quo while staying focused on getting things done.
